opaque quarry
Hi, I was using c++ with msvc for a project but am looking into moving things over to zig. It was going well but have hit a snag.
The project links against a closed source library and when compiling with msvc I found I had to set the -MD option (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/build/reference/md-mt-ld-use-run-time-library?view=msvc-170) otherwise the program would crash at runtime if compiled in debug mode (but worked fine in release). I guess this is some incompatibility between the library and the debug windows runtime.
How can I pass this same option to clang when compiling with zig? Clang should support it I believe as listed here https://clang.llvm.org/docs/UsersManual.html#clang-cl
I tried this with the flags argument to addCSourceFile but no luck:
exe.addCSourceFile(.{
.file = .{ .path = "src/rmanBindings.cpp" },
.flags = &.{"-MD"},
});
Currently with zig I get the same behavior as I used to with msvc without -MD, in that the program crashes if compiled with Debug but is fine when compiled with ReleaseSafe.
Many thanks.
