This, as they say, would not be good. The C calling conventions have changed
from 2.0 to 3.0. Trying to link your code with the CRuntime and CLibraries
would cause a colling convention conflict.

This may be the least of your problems. I haven't mixed things up like you want,
so I don't know if there are any other compatibility problems (like, does it
even compile without crashing...).
