Right now I'm using __wgetmainargs
in order retrieve the array of strings that represent the variables set in the user's environment.
Using VS2013 everything works, however, using VS2015 I get error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __wgetmainargs
errors.
I found that this was removed and that CommandLineToArgvW
is a replacement, but I don't need the command line arguments, I need the environment array (for some reason I cannot use _wenviron
, I just get garbage there).
Which library do I have to add to the linker or which alternative API can I use?
A way for solving this is to use GetEnvironmentStrings
which returns a pointer to a wchar_t sequence of all environment variables which are separated by \0
and end with \0\0
which can then be used directly or separated manually for a transformation into the format needed (GPLv2).
