Visual Studio中的C程序

Question

I am new to Visual Studio. I'm trying to run Hello World, but am getting several errors and cannot figure out what the problem is. I typed:

#include<stdio.h>

main()
{
    printf("Hello World");


}

---

into a code file with .c extension. I get this:

Error   1   error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _main referenced in function ___tmainCRTStartup   
d:\Users\...\MSVCRTD.lib(crtexe.obj)    Project

Error   2   error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals   
d:\users\...Project.exe 1   1   Project

Anyone know what the problem is? Thanks.

Answer 1

There are two major problems with the code provided. The first is that you did not add a header to be include after "include." Try this instead:

#include <stdio.h>

The second is that main needs a return type. Try:

int main()
{
   printf("Hello World");

   return 0;
}

Answer 2

It compiles fine... you need to set it to compile as C code:

Project->Properties->Advanced->Compile As C Code (/TC flag)

#include<stdio.h>

main()
{
    printf("Hello World");


}

Output:

1>------ Build started: Project: main,
Configuration: Debug Win32 ------
========== Build: 1 succeeded, 0 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped
==========

Reason:

You are compiling as C code and therefore default int is not assumed in C++ code

Update:

As mentioned by Michael Burr your code should use a *.c extension. However, it will still compile cpp files as c code if you set the project properties. However, if no setting is provided it will compile with the default settings (*.c -> c code) and (*.cpp -> cpp code) .
