vcxproj 从 vs2013 更新到 vs2015 后的 ICE（内部编译器错误）

Question

"similar questions" do not cover my case.

After switching from VS2013 (v120) to VS2015(v140) result is:

Notes:

• no Optimization (/Od)
• same issue also for VS2017(v141) and VS2019(v142)
• I have something in mind, that this project was also problematic to compile without VS2013-update5, but thats a real dangerous memory. But maybe it rings someone elses bell?
• Upgrade is necessary because we want to use MongoDB, which latest cxx-driver does not support VS2013

EDIT: Content of aHeader.h

#ifndef AINTERFACE_H
#define AINTERFACE_H 1

typedef int result;

#define IRESULT         result
#define IFUNCTION       virtual IRESULT
#define IIN(X)          X const&
#define IOUT(X)         X&
#define FUNCSPEC_IFACE  noexcept = 0
#define FUNCSPEC_IMPL   noexcept
#define ISUCCESS        0

class aInterface {
public:

    aInterface(IIN(char const* const) name)
        : iface_name_(name) {}

    IFUNCTION iface_name(IOUT(char const*) target)  FUNCSPEC_IFACE;

protected:

    char const*const    iface_name_;
};

#define IFACE_FUNCTIONS_DEFAULT                                         \
            IFUNCTION iface_name(IOUT(char const*) target) FUNCSPEC_IMPL\
                { target = aInterface::iface_name_; return ISUCCESS; }

#define IFACE_DEFAULT(NAME)                                         \
                    IFACE_FUNCTIONS_DEFAULT                         \
                    public: NAME() : aInterface(str(NAME))


#endif

Afaik this is the basic interface to implement CRTP

sidenote:

#define str_hlp(arg) #arg
#define strnz(arg) str_hlp(arg)
#define strz(arg) str_hlp(arg) "\0"
#define str(arg) strz(arg)

Thanks

Answer 1

During the time of the projects initial development. VS2015 was still not finished and VS2013 does (still) not fully support c++11 standard.

For compatibility reasons, a hack was made at a kinda hidden corner.

#if defined( _MSC_VER )/* && (_MSC_VER < insert here version which will support)*/

#  define noexcept  throw()
#  define constexpr const inline

#endif

We decided now to change that into

#if defined( _MSC_VER ) && (_MSC_VER < 1910)

#  define noexcept  throw()
#  define constexpr const inline

#endif

and skip VS2015.

Many thanks
