Re: [Boost-users] MSVC compiler error with boost ver 1.71

Hi there - I'm using boost ver 1.71 and I'm seeing a strange problem with VS2019. Simply #including this line at the top of a source file will generate a compiler error if I try to build in Debug mode (Release builds are okay...)

      #include

When I say a "compiler error" I'm not referring to one of the usual CXXXX messages - what happens is this:-

...

INTERNAL COMPILER ERROR in 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.29.30037\bin\HostX86\x64\CL.exe'     Please choose the Technical Support command on the Visual C++     Help menu, or open the Technical Support help file for more information Done building project "ardour.vcxproj" -- FAILED. ========== Build: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========

Just wondering if anyone else has encountered this..?

Thanks, John

I just tried using 1.76 using a simple c++ file and didn't have any problems. #include #include <iostream> using namespace std; int main() {     cout << "Testing Boost include file" << endl;     return EXIT_SUCCESS; } I used the cmd line using this: cl /EHsc /I D:\Tmp\Boost\boost_1_76_0 boost.cpp /link /LIBPATH:D:\Tmp\Boost\boost_1_76_0\stage\lib My boost libraries are in D:\tmp\boost Are you compiling in command line or are you using the IDE? My VS2019 is at version: Visual Studio 2019 Developer Command Prompt v16.9.6 Hope this helps. -- With over 1.3 billion devices now running Windows 10, customer satisfaction is higher than any previous version of windows.
