libctiny's Issues

Linker warning LNK4254

When linking projects with libctiny (or the "successor": minicrt.lib) you will get a linker warning:
minicrt.lib(initterm.obj) : warning LNK4254: section '.CRT' (40000040) merged into '.data' (C0000040) with different atributes

I think the problem lies in "initterm.cc"
#pragma comment(linker, "/merge:.CRT=.data")

As far as I understood this code handles constructor/destructor for constant objects. The section ".data" is considered read/write. When compiling other code with VS the ".CRT$XCA" sections are being put into a readonly section (".rdata"). This seems to cause the conflict and trigger the above warning.

In my build I changed the merge command to
#pragma comment(linker, "/merge:.CRT=.rdata")

and the linker warning disappeared. Perhaps someone can verify, if my fix is valid and this can be added to the repo.
