For shared_ptr in particular, I'd appreciate if "minimal support" includes recognizing __stdcall (and optionally __declspec(dllimport) but I think that this is not required) in strict mode so that it can import InterlockedIncrement and friends from the Windows kernel. Another alternative would be to pass the _InterlockedIncrement intrinsic to the underlying VC++ backend as-is, if possible.
The minimal support mentioned above was for non-strict mode. Anyway, we're favoring the former for now for a new combo strict mode when that bridge is crossed.
There is also the option of introducing #pragma backend ... that simply injects #pragma ... in the generated C code. This would enable me to use #pragma backend intrinsic( _InterlockedIncrement ) for como-win32-vc*. I have verified that this results in generated C code that compiles fine with the VC backend (by inserting the above #pragma manually at the appropriate location).
