/NODEFAULTLIB (Ignore Libraries)

/NODEFAULTLIB[:library] 

Remarks

where:

  • library
    A library that you want the linker to ignore when it resolves external references.

Remarks

The /NODEFAULTLIB option tells the linker to remove one or more default libraries from the list of libraries it searches when resolving external references.

To create an .obj file that does not contain references to default libraries, use /Zl (Omit Default Library Name).

By default, /NODEFAULTLIB removes all default libraries from the list of libraries it searches when resolving external references. The optional library parameter lets you remove a specified library or libraries from the list of libraries it searches when resolving external references. Specify one /NODEFAULTLIB option for each library you want to exclude.

The linker resolves references to external definitions by searching first in libraries that you explicitly specify, then in default libraries specified with the /DEFAULTLIB option, and then in default libraries named in .obj files.

/NODEFAULTLIB:library overrides /DEFAULTLIB:library when the same library name is specified in both.

If you use /NODEFAULTLIB, for example, to build your program without the C run-time library, you may have to also use /ENTRY to specify the entry point (function) in your program. For more information, see C Run-Time Libraries.

To set this linker option in the Visual Studio development environment
