Re: _ATL_MIN_CRT triggers Avast Sandbox

Hi Angus,

_ATL_MIN_CRT replaces the CRT startup code by replacing main() function.
You still link to CRT library, but can't use any of the CRT functions that
require startup code. When you do, you get unresolved function main() while
linking. The advantage of doing this is that resulting executable is much
smaller. This is useful for small apps or DLLs.

Cheers,
Nenad
