Is memcmp an unsolved symbol in NT kernel driver even if compiled with /Oi?

Show all headers | View raw

Code Sample 1:

#include <ntifs.h>

NTSTATUS DriverEntry(PDRIVER_OBJECT param1, PUNICODE_STRING param2)
{
	char s1[] = "Hello";
	char s2[] = "World";

	int n = memcmp(s1, s2, 5);

	return 0;
}

WDK compiler reports: error LNK2019: unsolved extern symbol _memcmp referenced in function _DriverEntry@8

However, if I modify a bit the code as follows, then the compiler will accept it.

Code Sample 2:

#include <ntifs.h>

NTSTATUS DriverEntry(PDRIVER_OBJECT param1, PUNICODE_STRING param2)
{
	char s1[] = "Hello";
	char s2[] = "World";

	memcmp(s1, s2, 5);

	return 0;
}

Why?

Thanks in advance!
