YY-Thunks is a C++ compatibility library that lets Windows applications run on older Windows versions like XP and 7 by automatically providing fallback implementations of newer APIs. It works via linker tweaks and dynamic API loading, requiring no source code changes.
Use cases
- make my app run on windows xp
- fix missing api errors on older windows versions
- support windows 7 without changing code
- shim GetTickCount64 for xp
- build c++ app compatible with legacy windows
- resolve DecodePointer not found on xp
When to choose
- you need to support Windows XP/7 with a modern toolchain
- you want API compatibility without modifying source code
- you build native C++ Windows apps distributed to legacy systems
When to avoid
- you only target modern Windows 10/11
- you need .NET or managed-code compatibility
- you require APIs that cannot be reasonably emulated (e.g., kernel drivers)
