Wireshark · Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] First experience with Visual Studio 2019

[Graham Bloice <graham.bloice@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Some comments on Chris's observations.

CMake.  VS now includes CMake, although it does lag behind a little, but I would be expecting it to work (as in tested by MS and others) with the installed version of VS.  I have been planning to remove the separate installation of CMake from the Developers Guide, I've been running this for quite a while now with both VS 2017 and 2019.

VS Version.  The VS team iterate quite quickly, the choco package does seem to lag a little, e.g. today it offers me 16.3.10 but 16.4.0 has been released. I think the choco version number is a mistake, it is likely to be 16.3.9, see the VS release notes here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/releases/2019/release-notes-history

The lemon warning is a regression and we either need to push an upstream fix, or use our local macro for unused parameters.

Thanks!  Upgrading from Cmake 3.15.3 to 3.15.5 resolved nearly all the warnings I had experienced earlier.  Only two remain, but they are the same two warnings seen on the buildbot, so at least I seem to be on par with the buildbot again.
