linker options casts out "new"

[Spiritofamerica]

hello I have a question In order to make smaller exes I use some linker options that I got form somewhere I forgot from where I understand pretty much what they do exept one : #pragma comment(linker,"/base:0x13140000") Anyway that is besides the point I put these options: #pragma optimize("gsy",on) #pragma comment(linker,"/RELEASE") #pragma comment(linker,"/ENTRY:main") #pragma comment(linker,"/MERGE:.rdata=.data") #pragma comment(linker,"/MERGE:.text=.data") #pragma comment(linker,"/MERGE:.reloc=.data") #pragma comment(linker,"/SECTION:.text,EWR /IGNORE:4078") #pragma comment(linker,"/FILEALIGN:0x200") #pragma comment(linker,"/base:0x13140000") #pragma comment(linker,"/stub:stub.exe") in a vc 7 win32 empty project and when i put this: void main() { char * ce_scrie=new char[100]; } the project is buildable but then it gives out a error of the debug don't send kind(you know) and when I debug it I get a wierd error I have yet to see Unhandled exception at 0x77f5171c in versiune_de_ie.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x00000010. the same stuff with vc 6 gets me this: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\MyProjects\SmallVcExe\SmallVcExe.c(31) : error C2065: 'new' : undeclared identifier C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\MyProjects\SmallVcExe\SmallVcExe.c(31) : warning C4047: 'initializing' : 'char *' differs in levels of indirection from 'int ' C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\MyProjects\SmallVcExe\SmallVcExe.c(31) : error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before 'type' C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\MyProjects\SmallVcExe\SmallVcExe.c(31) : error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before '[' C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\MyProjects\SmallVcExe\SmallVcExe.c(31) : warning C4091: ' ' : ignored on left of 'char ' when no variable is declared why is this?
