[Resend]
I see that several people (Anders, ...) been building with MSVC-2015
(VC14) and have fixed a number of issues.
So: I decided to download VC14 and give it a try (using NMake).
A few questions:
Are you using CMake or NMake ?
If using NMake, I assume that you've updated config.nmake & etc. Is
there some reason you've not committed the changes ?
If not, I've made what I think are the required changes for NMake. Do
you think it's Ok to commit them ?
Have you been able to do a complete build ?
So far:
1. Compiling packet-pdc.c gets:
[...]\packet-pdc.c(205) : fatal error C1001: An internal error has
occurred in the compiler.
(compiler file 'f:\dd\vctools\compiler\utc\src\p2\main.c', line 246)
To work around this problem, try simplifying or changing the program
near the locations listed above.
Please choose the Technical Support command on the Visual C++
Help menu, or open the Technical Support help file for more information
INTERNAL COMPILER ERROR in 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio
14.0\VC\BIN\cl.exe'
Please choose the Technical Support command on the Visual C++
Help menu, or open the Technical Support help file for more information
I've figured out what to change to fix this.
(I've also extracted a much smaller test file which causes the error and
will submit the file to Microsoft).
2. I had to disable building with geoip because:
C:\Program Files\Windows
Kits\10\include\10.0.10150.0\ucrt\stdio.h(1925): warning C4005:
'snprintf': macro redefinition (compiling source file packet-
ip.c)
[...]\GeoIP-1.5.1-2-win32ws\include\GeoIP.h(36): note: see previous
definition of 'snprintf' (compili
ng source file packet-ip.c)
C:\Program Files\Windows
Kits\10\include\10.0.10150.0\ucrt\stdio.h(1927): fatal error C1189:
#error: Macro definition of snprintf conflicts with Stan
dard Library function declaration (compiling source file packet-ip.c)
3. I disabled building with LUA because there's apparently yet no LUA
library (dll) for use with VC14.
After addressing #1, #2 & #3 above (as well as an issue in
packet-lwres.c), I got a complete working build (based upon a quick test).
4. When compiling with code-analysis enabled, I'm getting a boatload of
the following warning message:
c:\program files\windows kits\10\include\10.0.10150.0
\ucrt\string.h(130) : warning C28252: Inconsistent annotation for
'strcpy': _Param_(1) has 'SAL_w
ritableTo(elementCount(_String_length_(__formal(1,parameter1))+1))' on
the prior instance. See <no file>(0).
This makes using "analysis" with vc14 kind of difficult.
