If you have windows and MSVC++, fire it up and see what it links to.

Or google for "default c and c++ libraries for windows" which should pop up
a page explaining what ms recommends -- you probably want the
multi-threaded dll.

i think Microsoft deprecated the stdio or something like that.
but i don't know how to link it for lli :(

On Linux I don't need to explicitly load the c standard library, but not
sure what happens on windows.  However, I think you need to pass the
complete name, and perhaps the path.  On windows I think the name is
something like libcmt.lib, but have no idea where it lives.

thank you! yes, i guess that is the problem.
unfortunately libcmt doesn't work. could it have another name for lli?

The function missing seems to be part of libcmt since i get a similar error
on linking if i remove the libcmt

I think you need to tell lli which shared libraries to load, via "-load
option," in order to find missing symbols -- probably libcmt in this case,
since that's what you passed to link in the llc example.

Hi
i am wondering if someone could give me some tips on how to debug/solve
this problem. I am trying to use LLI on Windows. I build llvm and clang
using cmake.

clang -c hello.c -emit-llvm -o hello.bc
lli hello.bc
D:\llvm\examples\helloworld>lli hello.bc
LLVM ERROR: Program used external function '___stdio_common_vsprintf' which

But, I can generate the exe though
llc -filetype=obj hello.bc
link hello.obj -defaultlib:libcmt

maybe i need a
