BUG: Multiple Errors Compiling Std C++ Library Headers with /ZaID: Q168934
|
If you use the /Za switch (Disable Language Extensions) when compiling the Standard C++ Library headers, it causes multiple compiler errors. For example:
cl /Za /c /GX /Tp"iosfwd"
Causes the following compiler errors:
Examples of other header files known to cause multiple compiler errors like C2838, C2146, and C2501 are: <utility>, <iterator>, <xstring>, <functional>, and <limits>.iosfwd(132) : error C2906: C++ language change: to explicitly specialize class template 'char_traits' use the following syntax - template<> struct char_traits<unsigned short> ...
iosfwd(171) : error C2906: C++ language change: to explicitly specialize class template 'char_traits' use the following syntax - template<> struct char_traits<char> ...
Do not use the compiler option /Za (Disable Language Extensions) when compiling the Standard C++ Library headers.
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.
