I’m trying to track down a very nasty stack corruption bug in my release code and therefore I would like to enabled the Visual C++ RTCs option to enable runtime stack checks in my release build, however when I try to do this I get an “Incompatible build options” error from the boost libraries. Specifically I get this from boosts AutoLink.hpp:
#if defined(__MSVC_RUNTIME_CHECKS) && !defined(_DEBUG)
# pragma message("Using the /RTC option without specifying a debug runtime will lead to linker errors")
# pragma message("Hint: go to the code generation options and switch to one of the debugging runtimes")
# error "Incompatible build options"
#endif
It seems to be suggesting that in order to use /RTC I need to do a Debug build, buts that’s exactly what I don’t want to do… I need to enable Runtime Checks in the Release build!
