LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'legacy_stdio_definitions.lib'

I want to compile the rust code with Pycharm, but it's failed. It prompts as follows:
LINK : warning LNK4044: unrecognized option '/NATVIS:C:\Users\lumi.lu.rustup\toolchains\stable-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc\lib\rustlib\etc\intrinsic.natvis'; ignored

What's the legacy_stdio_definitions.lib? I already installed VS2013.
How to fix it?

The fix would be to install a newer version of VS, but since the docs say that VS 2013 is supported, it may be a bug.
Can you share the code you are trying to compile, and the commands?

This is a very weird coincidence but just four hours ago I posted a PR to libc to stop linking this in Rust's std rust-lang/libc#3226

Btw we do still say we support VS 2013 but it isn't tested so we have to rely on user reports for bugs. It's currently on the "extended" stage (security fixes only) of Microsoft's support cycle, which ends next year.
