What's the meaning of "mt" in QuantLib-vc110-mt.lib?

Question

I compiled Quantlib library in vs2012 under "release" and got the lib file, QuantLib-vc110-mt.lib.

My question is what's the meaning of "mt" in this file name? My guess is that it is related to "release". Is there any standard I could follow? Or if there is any introduction to the compiling flags and library debugging?

Thank you.

My guess is that it means multi-threaded, for visual studio you can compile to run a specific version of the run-time: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/2kzt1wy3.aspx — EdChum, Jun 18 '15 at 15:19

That's no standard, just a naming convention. If it's the same of boost stand for multi threading. see

How can I decode the boost library naming?

Yes, we chose it to be the same as Boost. – Luigi Ballabio Jun 19 '15 at 06:52
