Crash when used on Windows

[ChaoII]

When I compile a simple logging program in Release mode on Windows, it crashes, but it works fine when compiled in Debug mode. What could be the reason?

environment

• windows11 24h2
• visual studio 2022
• intel i5-9400 CPU

main code

#include "spdlog/spdlog.h"

int main() {
    spdlog::info("Hello World!");
    return 0;
}

the phenomenon

• Release

E:\CLionProjects\spdlog_\cmake-build-release\aaa.exe

The process has ended, exit code is -1073741819 (0xC0000005).

• Debug

E:\CLionProjects\spdlog_\build\aaa.exe
[2025-01-21 10:17:09.925] [info] Hello World!

The process has ended, exit code is 0

I can think of several causes.

• MSVC runtime problem

  MSVC made a breaking change at runtime some time ago.

  See:

  • Logger in Unmanaged DLL called by C# DLL crashes Oracle Simphony #3119 (comment)
  • https://stackoverflow.com/questions/78598141/first-stdmutexlock-crashes-in-application-built-with-latest-visual-studio

  See also (duplicate issues):

  • Program crushed (somthing wrong with std::mutex) when using MSVC Version 17.11.6 ,but it work right in MSVC Version 17.10.5 #3278
  • First call to spdlog crashes process in Windows Release build #3212
  • [MSVC 17.10.5] spdlog::sinks::base_sink<Mutex>::set_pattern() crash #3145

• Application and library build types do not match (Release/Debug)

  If spdlog.dll is installed on your machine, you might also have that library loaded.

Installing the latest MSVC runtime library resolved the issue. Thank you for all the help!
