std::exception dtor linker error

I have an error when I'm linking my project, ported from VS7.1 to VS8.0 beta 2:

LIBCMTD.lib(stdexcpt.obj) : error LNK2005: "public: virtual __thiscall std::exception::~exception(void)" ( 1exception@std@@UAE@XZ) already defined in TestStdCpp.obj

LIBCMTD.lib(stdexcpt.obj) : error LNK2005: "public: virtual char const * __thiscall std::exception::what(void)const " ( what@exception@std@@UBEPBDXZ) already defined in TestStdCpp.obj

Here is my repro solution (350 kb zipped)

Hi,

Quickly browsing through source, I do not see anything wrong with your source code. Please go ahead and open a bug report on lab.msdn.microsoft.com. You may want to remove dependency of this project on DirectX libraries and other header files.

Thanks, we are looking into it. I am also trying to understand who is using this #define, why. You should see our official response when your bug is fixed.

Thanks,
