Unable to build - Migrating VC++ code from VS2010 to VS2013

Question

I am trying to migrate my source from VS2010 to VS2013. It is giving me sleepless nights. I'm getting the below attached compilation error. Please help me out in identifying which compilation switch I'm missing out. I have saved my .sln file from VS2013 to get it adapted to the new environment.

My current compilation settings are as follows: PlatformToolset: Visual Studio 2013 - Windows XP (v120_xp) Command Line: /Yu"stdafx.h" /FR"DebugU\\" /GS /TP /analyze- /W3 /Zc:wchar_t /I"..\\Common" /Zi /Gm- /Od /Fd".\\DebugU/" /fp:precise /D "_PUGIXML" /D "_DEBUG" /D "_USRDLL" /D "_CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS" /D "_BIND_TO_CURRENT_VCLIBS_VERSION" /D "_VC80_UPGRADE=0x0700" /D "_USING_V110_SDK71_" /D "_WINDLL" /D "_UNICODE" /D "UNICODE" /errorReport:prompt /WX /Zc:forScope /RTC1 /Gd /Oy- /showIncludes /MTd /Fa".\\DebugU/" /EHsc /nologo /Fo".\\DebugU/" /Fp".\\DebugU/xxxxxxxx.pch"

Answer 1

I had the same problem and found out that the flag /Zc:auto was set to /Zc:auto- and this was causing all the errors.

You don't seem to have it specified in the command line but it could help someone else having the same type of error.

Zc:auto
