Linker Tools Error LNK1313

ijw/native module detected; cannot link with pure modules

Remarks

The current version of Visual C++ does not support linking native or mixed managed/native .obj files with .obj files compiled with /clr:pure.

The /clr:pure compiler option is deprecated in Visual Studio 2015 and unsupported in Visual Studio 2017 and later.

Example

Source file LNK1313.cpp:

// LNK1313.cpp
// compile with: /c /clr:pure
// a pure module
int main() {}

Source file LNK1313_b.cpp:

// LNK1313_b.cpp
// compile with: /c /clr
// an IJW module
void test(){}

The following example will generate LNK1313.

// LNK1313_c.cpp
// compile with: /link LNK1313.obj LNK1313_b.obj
// LNK1313 warning expected
