The special identifier LINT_ARGS, which enables type checking, is
predefined in Microsoft C Versions 5.00 and later. No preprocessor
directive or compile option is needed to define this identifier.

Microsoft C Version 4.00 provides the option to enable type checking
on C run-time library function calls. To enable this option in C
Version 4.00, define the special identifier LINT_ARGS either by
placing a #define directive before any #include directives for include
files that contain run-time library function declarations, or by using
the /DLINT_ARGS (or /D LINT_ARGS) compilation option.

Defining LINT_ARGS makes the function declarations available that are
enclosed in preprocessor #ifdefined() blocks and that are included
only if LINT_ARGS is defined.
