Linker Warnings LNK4070 to LNK4099
Linker Tools Warning LNK4070
/OUT:filename directive in .EXP differs from output filename "filename"; ignoring directive
The filename specified in the NAME or LIBRARY statement when the .EXP file was created differs
from the output filename that was either assumed by default or specified with the /OUT option. A
client program that uses the resulting DLL might encounter problems.
Linker Tools Warning LNK4071
cannot be incrementally linked on subsequent links
LINK found multiple definitions for one or more symbols, but /FORCE or /FORCE:MULTIPLE was
used to create an output file regardless of errors. LINK deleted the incremental status (.ILK) file.
Linker Tools Warning LNK4072
section count count exceeds max (number); image may not run
The number of sections (a COFF .EXE or .DLL file is composed of sections, similar to segments) in
the output file is greater than the limit that can be handled by the loader.
You can view the names of the sections in your executable file by using the DUMPBIN program with
the default /SUMMARY option. See the DUMPBIN Reference for more information. To reduce the
number of sections in your executable file:
Remove unneeded data_seg, code_seg or alloc_text pragmas. See data_seg, code_seg, and
alloc_text.
Use the /MERGE option with LINK to combine sections. See /MERGE.
Linker Tools Warning LNK4073
cannot create map for .ILK file; linking nonincrementally
There was not a large enough contiguous space in shared memory for LINK to create the incremental
status (.ILK) file. LINK performed a nonincremental build.
Linker Tools Warning LNK4074
unable to load filename; cannot checksum
The linker tried to load the dynamic-link library filename but could not. A function in filename is used
to checksum the executable file. One of the following may be a cause:
The linker could not find filename because it is not in the current directory or in a directory in
the PATH environment variable.
There was a problem with filename. Recopy filename from the installation disks.
Linker Tools Warning LNK4075
ignoring "option1" due to "option2" specification
The option2 specification overrides option1.
