I think you misunderstand what QB64 actually is. QB64 isn't a compiler -- we're a translator. We turn BAS code into C code, and then compile that C code with the mingw compilers. If you're ever curious about what the bad looking, machine translated, C code looks like once its translated from your programs, you can always find it in internal/temp, with the largest portion of your code being in main.txt.
All QB64 does is translate BAS to C. After that, g++ does the job of compiling that C code into an EXE for us.
