CRT functions not supported in Universal Windows Platform apps

  • Articol

Many C runtime (CRT) functions aren't available when you build Universal Windows Platform (UWP) apps. Sometimes workarounds are available—-for example, you can use Windows Runtime or Win32 APIs. In other cases, CRT functions have been banned because the corresponding features or the supporting APIs aren't applicable to UWP apps. To look for an alternative method that's supported for the Windows Runtime, see Alternatives to Windows APIs in UWP apps.

The following table lists the CRT functions that are unavailable when you build UWP apps. It indicates any workarounds that apply.

Unsupported CRT Functions

Function Description Workaround
_beep _sleep _seterrormode These functions were obsolete in previous versions of the CRT. Also, the corresponding Win32 APIs are not available for UWP apps. No workaround.
chdir _chdrive getcwd These functions are obsolete or are not thread-safe. Use _chdir, _getcwd and related functions.

Use Unicode strings instead.
_pclose _pipe _popen _wpopen Pipe functionality is not available to UWP apps. No workaround.
_resetstkoflw Supporting Win32 APIs are not available for UWP apps. No workaround.
_getsystime _setsystime These were obsolete APIs in previous CRT versions. Also, a user cannot set the system time in a UWP app due to lack of permissions. To get the system time only, use the Win32 API GetSystemTime. System time cannot be set.
_environ _putenv _putenv_s _searchenv _searchenv_s _dupenv_s _wputenv _wputenv_s _wsearchenv getenv getenv_s putenv _wdupenv_s _wenviron _wgetenv _wgetenv_s _wsearchenv_s tzset Environment variables are not available to UWP apps. No workaround. To set the time zone, use _tzset.
_loaddll _getdllprocaddr _unloaddll These were obsolete functions in previous CRT versions. Also, a user can't load DLLs except the ones in the same application package. Use Win32 APIs LoadPackagedLibrary, GetProcAddress, and FreeLibrary to load and use packaged DLLs.
_wexecl _wexecle _wexeclp _wexeclpe _wexecv _wexecve _wexecvp _wexecvpe _execl _execle _execlp _execlpe _execv _execve _execvp _execvpe _spawnl _spawnle _spawnlp _spawnlpe _spawnv _spawnve _spawnvp _spawnvpe _wspawnl _wspawnle _wspawnlp _wspawnlpe _wspawnv _wspawnve _wspawnvp _wspawnvpe _wsystem execl execle execlp execlpe execv execve execvp execvpe spawnl spawnle spawnlp spawnlpe spawnv spawnve spawnvp spawnvpe system The functionality is not available in UWP apps. A UWP app cannot invoke another UWP app or a desktop app. No workaround.
_heapwalk _heapadd _heapchk _heapset _heapused These functions are typically used to work with the heap. However, corresponding Win32 APIs are not supported in UWP apps. And, apps can no longer create or use private heaps. No workaround. However, _heapwalk is available in the DEBUG CRT, for debugging purposes only. These functions can't be used in apps that are uploaded to the Microsoft Store.

The following functions are available in the CRT for UWP apps. However, use them only when you can't use the corresponding Win32 or Windows Runtime APIs, such as when you're porting large code bases:

Functions Workaround
Single-byte string functions—for example, strcat, strcpy, strlwr, and so on. Make your UWP apps strictly Unicode because all Win32 APIs and Windows Runtime APIs that are exposed use Unicode character sets only. Single-byte functions were left for porting large code bases, but should otherwise be avoided. The corresponding wide char functions should be used instead when possible.
Stream IO and low-level file IO functions—for example, fopen, open, and so on. These functions are synchronous, which isn't recommended for UWP apps. In your UWP apps, use asynchronous APIs to open, read from, and write to files to prevent locking of the UI thread. Examples of such APIs are the ones in the Windows::Storage::FileIO class.

Windows 8.x Store apps and Windows Phone 8.x apps

Both the previously mentioned APIs and the following APIs are unavailable in Windows 8.x Store apps and Windows Phone 8.x apps.

Functions Description Workaround
_beginthread _beginthreadex _endthread _endthreadex Threading Win32 APIs are not available in Windows 8.x Store apps. Use the Windows Runtime Windows::System::Threading::ThreadPool or concurrency::task instead.
_chdir _wchdir _getcwd _getdcwd _wgetcwd _wgetdcwd The concept of a working directory doesn't apply to Windows 8.x Store apps. Use full paths instead.
_isleadbyte_l _ismbbalnum, _ismbbalnum_l, _ismbbalpha, _ismbbalpha _ismbbalpha_l _ismbbgraph _ismbbgraph_l _ismbbkalnum _ismbbkalnum_l _ismbbkana _ismbbkana_l _ismbbkprint _ismbbkprint_l _ismbbkpunct _ismbbkpunct_l _ismbblead _ismbblead_l _ismbbprint _ismbbprint_l _ismbbpunct _ismbbpunct_l _ismbbtrail _ismbbtrail_l _ismbslead _ismbslead_l _ismbstrail _ismbstrail_l _mbsdup isleadbyte Multi-byte strings are not supported in Windows 8.x Store apps. Use Unicode strings instead.
_tzset Environment variables are not available to Windows 8.x Store apps. No workaround.
_get_heap_handle, _heapmin The corresponding Win32 APIs are not supported in Windows 8.x Store apps. And, apps can no longer create private heaps. No workaround. However, _get_heap_handle is available in the DEBUG CRT, for debugging purposes only.
