For a basic command line windows C++ application, the tasks.json file contains the compiler command:
{
"tasks": [
{
"type": "cppbuild",
"label": "C/C++: cl.exe build active file",
"command": "cl.exe",
"args": [
"/Zi",
"/EHsc",
"/nologo",
"/Fe${fileDirname}\\${fileBasenameNoExtension}.exe",
"${file}"
],
"options": {
"cwd": "${fileDirname}"
},
"problemMatcher": [
"$msCompile"
],
"group": {
"kind": "build",
"isDefault": true
},
"detail": "Task generated by Debugger."
}
],
"version": "2.0.0"
}
How does one specify options to the linker? I need to specify the /SAFESEH option so that my McAfee doesn't quarantine my executable every time that I build.
Thanks in advance.
I tried adding that linker option to the cl.exe command arguments but that fails due to cl.exe being a compiler command, not a link command.
usage: cl [ option... ] filename... [ /link linkoption... ]
Looks like you would need to add to the cl args area:
"/link SAFESEH",
