Makes little to know sense without your code sample.

I have got this on another Forum you can try this

I have researched this issue on the web and it seems like it is something that has been an issue for a lot of people. The solution to this is as simple as removing a comment.
 


I looked through the stdlib.h file, and found the the following line was commended out:
 
_CRTIMP __declspec(noreturn) void __cdecl exit(__in int _Code);
 
I took out the comment and recompiled it ... and now it works.
 
I believe in some builds the stdlib.h file will automatically be compiled with that portion of the code commented out. simple uncomment and your code will work.

Here is the link[^]

That's just a typical microsoft products bug.
I think the problem is in stdlib.h file
One way fix is then presumably to do

C++

#include <stdlib.h>

before anything else, and another and better fix to install the latest service pack.
Btw., the program technically needs to include <ostream>.
