Background
MSDN中对于在不同的配置下Link的LIB作了说明：
C Runtime Library：
|
开关 |
对应的库 |
版本 |
|
/MD |
MSVCRT.LIB |
多线程DLL的Release版本 |
|
/MDd |
MSVCRTD.LIB |
多线程DLL的Debug版本 |
|
/MT |
LIBCMT.LIB |
多线程静态链接的Release版本 |
|
/MTd |
LIBCMTD.LIB |
多线程静态链接的Debug版本 |
|
/clr |
MSVCMRT.LIB |
托管代码和非托管代码混合 |
|
/clr:pure |
MSVCURT.LIB |
纯托管代码 |
C++ Standard Library：
|
开关 |
对应的库 |
版本 |
|
/MD |
MSVCPRT.LIB |
多线程DLL的Release版本 |
|
/MDd |
MSVCPRTD.LIB |
多线程DLL的Debug版本 |
|
/MT |
LIBCPMT.LIB |
多线程静态链接的Release版本 |
|
/MTd |
LIBCPMTD.LIB |
多线程静态链接的Debug版本 |
编译器会自动根据编译选项，选择对应的LIB文件。一般情况下这不会出现问题。
然而，在部分情况下，一旦你的程序的各个部分（LIB, OBJ…）并非由相同的编译选项编译出，而Link在一起的话，会出现各种各样的看似很难解决的问题，这类问题主要以重复定义的错误形式存在，通常的解决方法也很简单，就是选择同样的编译选项进行编译之后再Link。
Case Study
之前刚下载了ANTLR，在准备编译它的Example的时候发现了下面的Build错误（我自己为这个例子创建了VS的项目，当前配置为动态链接Runtime库，Debug版）：

分析一下错误来源，会发现：
1. 错误来源主要是重复定义的问题，而且重复定义的基本上都是VC Runtime和Standard C++ Library中的函数
2. LIBCMT和LIBCPMT为Release下的Lib，本来不应该出现在Debug版本的链接的Lib中
3. 重复定义的问题主要出现在：LIBCMT, LIBCPMT, MSVCPRTD, MSVCRTD
来看看出问题的LIB是那些：
1. LIBCMT：C Runtime库的多线程静态链接的Release版本
2. LIBCPMT：C++ Standard Library的多线程静态链接的Release版本
3. MSVCPRTD：C++ Standard Library的多线程DLL的Debug版本
4. MSVCRTD：C Runtime Library的多线程DLL的Debug版本
当前我们的配置是多线程DLL的Debug版，因此3和4是应该出现在link的列表中的，不属于多余。而后两者则是只是当多线程静态链接Release版中才会出现。这提示我在项目中加入的ANTLR.LIB可能是造成这个问题的根源，因为静态库的编译选项很容易和主程序发生冲突，并且根据实际信息我们可以看出ANTLR.LIB应该是用多线程静态链接的Release版本来编译的。
这样，解决方法就很清楚了：
1. 切换到Release，因为ANTLR.LIB是在Release下面编译的
2. 把Run Time库的版本修改成多线程静态链接
做了这两个修改之后编译通过。
还有一种方法是，自己用多线程DLL的Debug版重新编译一次ANTLR，生成一个新的ANTLRD.LIB，再link这个Lib也可以解决这个问题。
Summary
1. 知道各个不同的LIB代表的版本信息非常重要，可以帮助快速定位问题
2. 在编程的时候，一定要把所有的项目的编译选项（是静态链接Runtime库还是动态链接Runtime库，Debug/Release）配置成一样的。如果部分LIB/OBJ是由第三方提供（OBJ情况很少见），一般情况下只能调整自己的编译选项，除非你可以要求第三方提供其他版本的编译好的LIB
3. 在发布可重用的静态LIB库供其他人调用的时候，最好对应不同的编译选项，乃至VC版本，提供不同版本的LIB。VC自己的Runtime就是最好的例子。
