Visual Studio 11 support?

[Tsury]

Has someone managed to compile JuceDemo under Visual Studio 11?
I am getting these errors:

Error 13 error C1189: #error : keyword defined before including C++ standard header c:\program files (x86)\microsoft visual studio 11.0\vc\include\xkeycheck.h 124

I know its not officially supported, I was just messing with it.

There's no reason why it wouldn't work. That error has nothing to do with juce though, it's an MS header file!

It seems like this header file checks for redefinition of reserved words; maybe Microsoft added more words to that list?
Here's a paste of the relevant part: http://pastebin.com/xrZSrpES

Edit:Found the culprit in juce_PlatformDefs.h:

Code: Select all

#if ! (DOXYGEN || JUCE_COMPILER_SUPPORTS_NOEXCEPT)
#define noexcept  throw()
#endif

Also in stream_decoder.cpp:

Code: Select all

#if _MSC_VER <= 1600 || defined __BORLANDC__ /* @@@ [2G limit] */
#define fseeko fseek
#define ftello ftell
#endif

_MSC_VER is now 1700...

Also, before you can even try to build, this is what happens:

Code: Select all

C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\V110\Microsoft.Cpp.Platform.targets(34,5): error MSB8020: The builds tools for Visual Studio 2010 (Platform Toolset = 'v100') cannot be found. To build using the v100 build tools, either click the Project menu or right-click the solution, and then select "Update VC++ Projects...". Install Visual Studio 2010 to build using the Visual Studio 2010 build tools.

To resolve this issue you can either 'Update VC++ Projects' or just install Visual Studio 2010.
If you choose the option of installing Visual Studio 2010, it will compile, but when trying to start the compiled product, I get this messagebox:

Code: Select all

Unable to cast object of type 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.Project.ConfiguredProjectCache`1[Microsoft.VisualStudio.Project.Immutables.ImmutableHashMap`2[System.String,System.Threading.Tasks.Task`1[Microsoft.VisualStudio.Project.PropertyPages.PropertyPagesCatalog]]]' to type 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.Project.ConfiguredProjectCache`1[Microsoft.VisualStudio.Project.Immutables.ImmutableHashMap`2[System.String,Microsoft.VisualStudio.Project.PropertyPages.PropertyPagesCatalog]]'.

OK

Probably some incompatibility between VS11 debugger and VS10 build tools.

I upgraded the projects and now I have JuceDemo running under Visual Studio 11 and Windows 8 Consumer Preview

To sum it up for future IntroJucer compatibility:

1. in juce_PlatformDefs.h, change the line

   Code: Select all

   #if ! (DOXYGEN || JUCE_COMPILER_SUPPORTS_NOEXCEPT)

   to

   Code: Select all

   #if ! ((DOXYGEN || JUCE_COMPILER_SUPPORTS_NOEXCEPT) && _MSC_VER < 1700)

2. in stream_decoder.cpp change line

   Code: Select all

   #if _MSC_VER <= 1600 || defined __BORLANDC__ /* @@@ [2G limit] */

   to

   Code: Select all

   #if _MSC_VER <= 1700 || defined __BORLANDC__ /* @@@ [2G limit] */

3. Produce vcxproj files which uses build tools v110 (have no idea how to do it but I figure you've got a clue).

This should probably be enough

Thanks!

The whole point of that JUCE_COMPILER_SUPPORTS_NOEXCEPT flag is to detect whether noexcept is a keyword, so it'd be better to actually set the flag correctly! e.g. in juce_PlatformDefs.h, line 300:

Code: Select all

#if defined (_MSC_VER) && _MSC_VER >= 1600
#if _MSC_VER >= 1700
  #define JUCE_COMPILER_SUPPORTS_NOEXCEPT 1
#else
  #define JUCE_COMPILER_SUPPORTS_NOEXCEPT 0
#endif
#define JUCE_COMPILER_SUPPORTS_NULLPTR 1
#define JUCE_COMPILER_SUPPORTS_MOVE_SEMANTICS 1
#endif


?

But the changes to stream_decoder look sensible, thanks!

[Tsury]

No problem. I will update the NOEXCEPT part.
Any chance of seeing IntroJucer support anytime soon?

I'll support it soonish, but doesn't it import the VS2010 projects?

[Tsury]

It does, but I want to work with someone who uses VS10 and the Upgrade VC++ Projects changes them to require VS11.

I ran into the same issue with VS11:

#error : keyword defined before including C++ standard header c:\program files (x86)\microsoft visual studio 11.0\vc\include\xkeycheck.h 124

and i solved in a very blunt way by just commenting out line 90 in xkeycheck.h

After that the JuceBrowserPluginDemo compiled just fine.


But other projects gave a huge amount of these error messages:

error C3646: 'noexcept' : unknown override specifier


So i added the line "#define noexcept throw()" in juce_PlatformDefs.h at line 302

Here is the code starting from line 300:

Code: Select all

#if defined (_MSC_VER) && _MSC_VER >= 1600
#if _MSC_VER >= 1700
  #define noexcept  throw()
  #define JUCE_COMPILER_SUPPORTS_NOEXCEPT 1
#else
  #define JUCE_COMPILER_SUPPORTS_NOEXCEPT 0
#endif
#define JUCE_COMPILER_SUPPORTS_NULLPTR 1
#define JUCE_COMPILER_SUPPORTS_MOVE_SEMANTICS 1
#endif
