/nostdlib
Does not import a standard library.
/nostdlib[+ | -]
Arguments
- +| -
/nostdlib or /nostdlib+ option causes the compiler to not import mscorlib.dll. Use this option if you want to define or create your own System namespace and objects. If you do not specify /nostdlib, mscorlib.dll will be imported into your program (same as specifying /nostdlib-).
Remarks
Specifying /nostdlib+ also specifies /autoref-.
Example
If you have a namespace called System. String (or any other name in mscorlib) the only way you could access the elements is to use
/nostdlib /r:your_library,mscorlib
to search your library before mscorlib. You should not define a System namespace in your application.
