Another question you may be able to answear on: Is it possible to link a program using the Visual Studio linker without linking with msvcrt.lib? I have set the entry point to main, but still got two linker errors I can't get rid of. So I guess it is impossible, right?
Error 1 error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __RTC_Shutdown main.obj
Error 2 error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __RTC_InitBase main.obj |
HeapAlloc is only recommended for small buffers, so for anything from 64-1024 bytes I use GlobalAlloc (then use VirtualAlloc for anything larger). Anyway, for a function like GetKeyboardState (which I assume you're using), I would use GlobalAlloc.
Also, you can completely remove any CRT dependency from an application by adding the /NODEFAULTLIB linker flag, then coupling it with the /entry:main (or whatever your entry function is called).
