_tmain() is called in the Windows term: "generic text mapping function".
Will resolaved to wmain() if _UNICODE is defined, and to main() otherwise.
IIRC, VC++2005 defaults to UNICODE built. argv[] stored command line
arguments in UNICODE.
To change this setting:
- In Solution Explorer, right click on Project, Select "Properties".
- Expand "Configuration Properties", select "General".
- On the right pane, expand "Project Defaults", Select "Character Set".
- Select "Not Set" or "Use Multi-Byte Character Set".
Or kept it as UNICODE buy change the output from std::cout to std::wcout
when outputting argv[]. For example:
cout << "The command you typed was \"";
wcout << argv[0];
cout << "\"" << endl;
