c++ - LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _main referenced in function ___tmainCRTStartup -


i have following error lnk2019: unresolved external symbol _main referenced in function ___tmaincrtstartup,

there lot of threads relating error none of solutions worked me. and, none explained why error here.

i tried:

have not tried , suspect these not work:

why getting error , solution?

what project type? if it's "win32 project", entry point should (w)winmain. if it's "win32 console project", should (w)main. name _tmain #defined either main or wmain depending on whether unicode defined or not.

if it's dll, dllmain.

the project type can seen under project properties, linker, system, subsystem. either "console" or "windows".

note entry point name varies depending on whether unicode defined or not. in vs2008, it's defined default.

the proper prototype main either

int _tmain(int argc, _tchar* argv[])

or 

int _tmain()

make sure it's 1 of those.

edit:

if you're getting error on _tchar, place an

#include <tchar.h>

if think issue 1 of headers, go properties of file main(), , under preprocessor, enable generating of preprocessed file. compile. you'll file same name .i extension. open it, , see if unsavory happened main() function. there can rogue #defines in theory...

edit2:

with unicode defined (which default), linker expects entry point wmain(), not main(). _tmain has advantage of being unicode-agnostic - translates either main or wmain.

some time ago, there reason maintain both ansi build , unicode build. unicode support sorely incomplete in windows 95/98/me. primary apis ansi, , unicode versions existed here , there, not pervasively. also, vs debugger had trouble displaying unicode strings. in nt kernel oses (that's windows 2000/xp/vista/7/8/10), unicode support primary, , ansi functions added on top. ever since vs2005, default upon project creation unicode. means - wmain. not keep same entry point name because parameter types different. _tchar #defined either char or wchar_t. _tmain either main(int argc, char **argv) or wmain(int argc, wchar_t **argv).

the reason getting error @ _tmain @ point because did not change type of argv _tchar**.

if you're not planning ever support ansi (probably not), can reformulate entry point as

int wmain(int argc, wchar_t *argv[])

and remove tchar.h include line.

Add a dynamic header in angular 2 http provider -

i have http interceptor built via tutorial https://scotch.io/@kashyapmukkamala/using-http-interceptor-with-angular2 the problem need have dynamic header changes automatically once changes 'mode' in app. service able tell interceptor change header, or have interceptor pull header (which string)from service each request. able throwing away patch method, call http.patch('new header string') set header string. call in service controls 'mode' setting. wondering if there way interceptor pull recent value service each request or if can add method http provider via interceptor? i've tried call service in interceptor each request returns undefined. because creating new instance of service or copying value before service fired , loaded/changed data. i don't want pass header string every http provider call because defeats purpose of having interceptor, id able set once changes or have provider fetch service before makes request. tl;dr : need add autom...

minify - Minimizing css files -

i want know how css files can minimized. currently, using external sites css minifier compress css files. however, after removing whitespaces, comments, etc, file sizes reduced 10-15%. how frameworks bootstrap manage make minimized versions kilobytes. as example, css is: body { background-color: #ff0; } the reduction goes 28 bytes 22 bytes other css files have lot more characters still smaller this. actually minifying code means it's remove thing code white space characters new line characters comments block delimiters it reduces amount of code has transferred on web , speed site load fastly.but unreadable format.
