common define for testing msvcrt.dll

[TimoVJL]

It would be nice, if we use same define for testing code with msvcrt.dll too.
For example USE_MSVCRT or similar, what we decide.
If you have better name, just tell us.

Hi Timo,

Maybe, an add-in can do the job. You need to disable the run-time library of Pelles C and use a custom C run-time library as msvcrt.dll's command-line handling depends on these functions :

With a batch file, you can easily accomplish the linkage against msvcrt.dll

Almost same, this might be an example to avoid mistakes
and others knows case

Hi Timo,

Thanks for your code. My idea is to combine msvcrt.lib with a static library :

This time, I combined my tiny C startup library with msvcrt.lib

Your module above is a very good implementation.
