lnk2019 error for KERNEL32.LIB symbol

lnk2019 error for KERNEL32.LIB symbol

• Rob Caron MSFT

  No! This can't be the reason. If the signature is correct and KERNEL32.LIB is in the list of libraries to be included it should work.

  Do you can create a small sample to repro this problem

  OK i found a solution, but i dont understand it.
  
  The method using these function InterlockedIncrement &
  In..Decrement is are two operators:
  operator+= and operator-=. 
  There are several other operators within the same Class using these two
  functions InterlockedInc., etc, but they are all INLINE functions and also there implementaion is within the
  HEADER file.
  Now i changed the += and -= operators to inline and 
  moved them from the .CPP to the .H file and everything
  works fine.
  BUT WHY, can please somebody tell me...
  
  thanks a lot

  (so you can read it better:-))
  hello all,
  i am porting a vc6 project to vc8 and after rebuilding
  all my old libs 
  i still get 2 lnk2019 errors for symbols that should
  be in KERNEL32.LIB:
  
  i checked linking with linker option "/verbose" and
  also checked my old
  program using vc6 where it finds the two symbols in
  KERNEL32.LIB, no problem
  
  these are my error messages:
  1.
  hblib_d.lib(mutex.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved
  external symbol 
  "__declspec(dllimport) long __stdcall
  InterlockedIncrement(long *)"
  (__imp_ InterlockedIncrement@@YGJPAJ@Z) referenced in
  function "public: int __thiscall
  ost::AtomicCounter::operator+=(int)"
  (  YAtomicCounter@ost@@QAEHH@Z)
  
  2.

  thank you all
