Sol2: Internal compiler error with VS 2019 16.8.2

[scemino]

Hi,

With Visual Studio 2019 16.8.2 and sol v3.2.3 (revision 62804667), I get an internal compiler error:

I tried with this switch /Zc:twoPhase- as explained in an issue, but I still get the error.

To reproduce you can try my repo here: https://github.com/scemino/EnggeFramework
I'm using Github actions to compile on Windows.

I'm open to any suggestions or workaround, thank you.

Try to pass -Thost=x64 to cmake generator

[scemino]

Thank you @halx99 your solution works, I can close the issue.

[scemino]

Ooops sorry, I made a mistake, I disabled LuaSample project, so it was compiling correctly, but I have still the same issue 😢

[halx99]

That's glad, so may needs wait visual studio team to fix the bug

Apologies, I haven't gotten to this yet.

I made some changes and I don't quite get the error in my tests, but I still need to pull the framework and test. Sorry for the pain here.

It looks like I need to get GLEW and a bunch of other stuff to "try" this error out.

I'm lucky 😁, tell me if I can help.

VS 2019 Preview and VS 2019 Release, latest version, do not Internal Compiler Error, either with the latest sol2 or the version you reported here.

I am assuming this is a solved problem. Please upgrade your Visual Studio.

[scemino]

OK I use now the stable version v3.2.2 and it works.
