C++ Error for file_size() which belongs to Boost Filesystem

Question

My IDE is MS Visual Studio C++ 2013, and I use Boost Library for Filesystem Operations. I have written this code:

// BoostFileSystem.cpp : Defines the entry point for the console application.
//

#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream>
#include <boost\filesystem.hpp>

using namespace boost::filesystem;
using namespace std;


int main()
{
    cout << "File Size: " << endl;
    cout << file_size("as.jpg");

    return 0;
}

It throws error. The error is that:

1>------ Build started: Project: BoostFileSystem, Configuration: Debug Win32 ------
1>  BoostFileSystem.cpp
1>  LINK : C:\...\visual studio 2013\Projects\BoostFileSystem\Debug\BoostFileSystem.exe not found or not built by the last incremental link; performing full link
1>  BoostFileSystem.vcxproj -> C:\..\documents\visual studio 2013\Projects\BoostFileSystem\Debug\BoostFileSystem.exe
========== Build: 1 succeeded, 0 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========

'as.jpg' is also included in the Resources folder. When I remove this line:

file_size("as.jpg");

The error is not thrown. Also bear in mind that the compiler reports no failure.

What is the problem? I really cannot figure it out.

Because when I remove file_size() line, the program works fully and also prints the text on the screen ("File Size:"). While when run it as-is, the compiler throws no error, but no text (even the line before the file_size() ) is not printer and in the console the following is printed (which is also outputed to the error-area as already pasted above):

UPDATED:

Here is the error shown in the console window:

The system cannot find the file C:\Users\Ali\do
ts\BoostFileSystem\Debug\BoostFileSystem.exe.

The problem is solved. I post it for future visitors.

The problem is with incremental linking enabled in MS-Visual Studio C++. If disable it, then the program works.

Go to the properties of the project, then to the Linker, General and Disable the Incremental Linking.
