 You can specify an ARM64 extension from Armv8.0-A through Armv8.9-A, and Armv9.0-A through Armv9.4-A. Optionally, enable one or more architecture features by appending a feature argument to the option<sup>3</sup>. For example, to target Armv8.0-A and enable feature `FEAT_LSE`, append feature argument **`lse`** so that the option becomes **`/arch:armv8.0+lse`**. For more information about available features and their requirements, see [`/feature` (ARM64)](feature-arm64.md)<sup>3</sup>.
 
 > [!NOTE]
-> Depending on your version of Visual Studio, the compiler may not yet generate instructions from all feature sets required by the extension level you specify. For example, **`/arch:armv8.1`** allows the `*Interlocked*` intrinsic functions to use the appropriate atomic instruction introduced with the Armv8.1-A extension feature `FEAT_LSE`, but compiler support requires Visual Studio 2022 version 17.2 or later.

 This message indicates that an invalid parameter is passed to `VirtualFree` or `VirtualFreeEx`. `VirtualFree` and `VirtualFreeEx` both reject the flags (`MEM_RELEASE | MEM_DECOMMIT`) in combination. Therefore, the values `MEM_DECOMMIT` and `MEM_RELEASE` may not be used together in the same call.

-A static library that was built using a version of Visual Studio before Visual Studio 2015 might cause LNK2019 errors when linked with the UCRT. The UCRT header files `<stdio.h>`, `<conio.h>`, and `<wchar.h>`now define many `*printf*` and `*scanf*` variations as **`inline`** functions. The inlined functions are implemented by a smaller set of common functions. Individual exports for the inlined functions aren't available in the standard UCRT libraries, which only export the common functions. There are a couple of ways to resolve this issue. The method we recommend is to rebuild the legacy library with your current version of Visual Studio. Make sure the library code uses the standard headers for the definitions of the `*printf*` and `*scanf*` functions that caused the errors. Another option for a legacy library that you can't rebuild is to add `legacy_stdio_definitions.lib` to the list of libraries you link. This library file provides symbols for the `*printf*` and `*scanf*` functions that are inlined in the UCRT headers.
