windows store certification kit - c++ library validation issues

483 Views Asked by user427182 At 20 October 2024 at 12:50

I'm trying to port a c++ library to universal windows for a windows store app. Using x86 developer command prompt in visual studio 2015 v14.0.24720.00 update 1 on Windows 10.

Wondering what I'm doing wrong - everything compiles and links fine with the following flags:

cl /nologo /FoBuild\Obj\Windows\Release\[OBJ_FILE].obj /c /MD /Ox /W4 /EHsc /FRBuild\Obj\Windows\Release\ -DDEFINE_LITTLE_ENDIAN -DDEFINE_TRACE -D_CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS -DDEFINE_WINDOWS_UNIVERSAL /AI "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\lib\store\references" /WX /ZW /D "WINAPI_FAMILY=2" -IBuild\Include [SOURCE].cpp

and:

link /nologo /opt:ref /map Ws2_32.lib /APPCONTAINER /dll /out:Build\Obj\Windows\Release\myDll.dll [OBJ_FILE.obj]*

Getting a whole bunch of unusual looking wack validation errors for things that surely should be standard functions such as malloc and std::bad_alloc etc. And furthermore, a lot of these not supported APIs seem to actually exist in the whitelist files even though they are declared not supported. Not sure what I'm doing wrong as it all compiles fine with the /ZW /EHsc /D "WINAPI_FAMILY=2" switches as documented here https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh700130.aspx

The documentation on that page states explicity that any use of CRT functions that are not allowed in a Windows 8.x Store app will cause a compile-time error when you use the /ZW flag. It all compiles fine, even on the arm toolchain.

Also puzzled as to why some of the refs are in vcruntime140 and some are in api-ms-win-crt-*.dll.

Can anyone shed any light on these issues please?

Full list of errors below.

The answer is that I needed to build against vs2013 toolchain for windows 8.1 library, not vs2015. Don't forget to check the dependency on universal c++ runtime in your app dependencies as well or it will fail to load the dll.

use vcvars.bat in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\VC

Compiler:

cl /nologo /FoBuild\Obj\Windows\Release\MyObj.obj -c /MD /Ox /c /W4 /EHsc /FRBuild\Obj\Windows\Release\ -DDEFINE_LITTLE_ENDIAN -DDEFINE_TRACE -DDEFINE_WINDOWS_UNIVERSAL -D_CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS /D "_WINDLL" /D "_UNICODE" /D "UNICODE" /FU"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v8.1\ExtensionSDKs\Microsoft.VCLibs\12.0\References\CommonConfiguration\neutral\platform.winmd" /FU"C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.1\References\CommonConfiguration\Neutral\Windows.winmd" /FU"C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.1\References\CommonConfiguration\Neutral\Windows.winmd" /WX /ZW /ZW:nostdlib /D "WINAPI_FAMILY=WINAPI_FAMILY_APP" /D "WRL_NO_DEFAULT_LIB" /Gy /Zc:inline /Zc:wchar_t /TP -IBuild\Include MySrc.cpp

Linker:

link /nologo /OPT:REF /map Ws2_32.lib kernel32.lib /APPCONTAINER /DYNAMICBASE /NXCOMPAT /MACHINE:X86 /SUBSYSTEM:WINDOWS /LIBPATH:"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\VC\lib\store" /dll /out:Build\Obj\Windows\Release\myDll.dll [Build\Obj\Windows\Release*.obj]
