If you link your program without the C run-time library, using /NODEFAULTLIB, and want to use run-time checks, you must link with RunTmChk.lib.

_RTC_Initialize initializes your program for run-time checks. If you do not link with the C run-time library, you must check to see whether your program is compiled with run-time error checks before calling _RTC_Initialize, as follows:

#ifdef __MSVC_RUNTIME_CHECKS  
    _RTC_Initialize();  
#endif

If you do not link with the C run-time library, you must also define a function called _CRT_RTC_INITW. _CRT_RTC_INITW installs your user-defined function as the default error reporting function, as follows:

// C version:  
_RTC_error_fnW __cdecl _CRT_RTC_INITW(  
        void *res0, void **res1, int res2, int res3, int res4)  
{  
    // set the error handler.  
    return &MyErrorFunc;   
}  
  
// C++ version:  
extern "C" _RTC_error_fnW __cdecl _CRT_RTC_INITW(  
       void *res0, void **res1, int res2, int res3, int res4)  
{  
    // set the error handler:  
    return &MyErrorFunc;  
}

After you have installed the default error reporting function, you can install additional error reporting functions with _RTC_SetErrorFuncW. For more information, see _RTC_SetErrorFuncW.
