I assume that using Developor Studio, this works itself out.
Within the current makefile system (using the command line) _MSC_VER never
gets defined. I don't believe that "c1" hardcodes this into the compiler
but expects DevStudio to do so. I don't know this as a fact, but the
current build certainly is pointing in that direction.
Now the "crtdbg.h" gets included fine, but then it seems cause a problem
with "stdlib.h". Somehow memory allocation routines gets defined twice and
it blows up. Now MVC includes two "stdlib.h" one in the INCLUDE directory
and one in CRT/SRC directory. The CRT?SRC one would probabaly be the
correct one to link up to with the crtdbg.h, but that is just a guess.
Cheers!
