[TimoVJL]

simple ucrtbase printf test.
many of us have now that dll in their system.

ucrtbase.dll don't have printf, fprintf, ...

int main(int argc, char **argv)

fprintf(stdout, "StdOut\n");
fprintf(stderr, "StdErr\n");
return 0;
}argc argv don't work yet

Code: [Select]

stderr = __acrt_iob_func(2);
exit(main(0, 0));
}

speed test with qsort:
msvcrt.dll    250ms
ucrtbase.dll 285ms

PS: last Firefox have those dll's, if someone don't have those, just copy from there.
These are needed in Windows 7

Hello again,

Thanks for the example and the link.

C function prototype :

Code: [Select]

int CDECL MSVCRT__stdio_common_vfprintf(unsigned __int64 options, MSVCRT_FILE *file, const char *format,
                                        MSVCRT__locale_t locale, __ms_va_list valist)
