I shouldn’t think why not – as long as you keep the usual CRT memory boundaries (ie if you allocate memory inside a library function, always free it from inside the library – by calling a function in the lib to do the freeing).
this approach works fine for dlls compiled with all kinds of compilers, statically linked libs should be ok too.
