[Compiler Error] C2733 building GZDoom

[MartinHowe]

When building GZDoom 1.0.29 I get 12 errors from MSVC stating thus:

Code: Select all

If anybody else has had this problem and resolved it, please tell me how.

Not sure if this is truly a bug in the GZDoom build setup or just MSFT being stupid again...

or just MSFT being stupid again...

Did I really need to ask Apparently it is a bug in the include files and the best answer from MSFT is that it will be fixed in the next update of the SDK. Great

A workaround that I have found is to comment out the lines 944 and 945 of intrin.h in the visual studio include files:

//__MACHINEI(unsigned char _interlockedbittestandset(long *a, long b))
//__MACHINEI(unsigned char _interlockedbittestandreset(long *a, long b))

However, this is for the latest VC8 express and with the Windows SDK on Vista - people with other versions of the SDK or on XP may not be experiencing this, so YYMV. Obviously, messing with MSFT include files is not recommended, so do this ONLY if you are experiencing the problem!
