Cannot compile c++ projects in Visual Studio 2013 - c++

I no longer can compile any c++ project. When i try to compile anything i get following errors:
Error 101 error MSB4018: The "CL" task failed unexpectedly.
System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance
of an object. at

Projects in other languages i.e C# are working fine.
Does anyone had similar problem to mine? What is the solution? I tried reinstall .Net framework and Visual Studio itself.

Try to enable browse information generation by adding flag /FR or /Fr. it might work for you.
To enable it you can follow below link:

please help :)
Please take a look at
https://docs.unrealengine.com/latest/INT/Programming/Development/VisualStudioSetup/
and check that you are using the correct Visual Studio version.
Also, is there a reason that you are using Unreal Engine 4.10 instead of the newest version, even though you are just starting with UE and, I assume, you don't have any previous projects?

i really confused because i am compile this project many times with this steps and with this visual studio.
Edit 1:
i create new Win32Project and i put this code on that:
#include "stdafx.h"
# define LENGTH 20
typedef unsigned char uint8_t;
typedef uint8_t uint8;
struct test
{
uint8 intT[LENGTH] = {};
};
and when i compile that i got this error again:
Error 1 error C1001: An internal error has occurred in the compiler. \Projects\Win32Project1\Win32Project1\Win32Project1.cpp 13 1 Win32Project1
An "internal compiler error" (or ICE) is, by definition, a compiler bug. There could well be code in your program that's triggering that bug. Your crash seems to be triggered by the use of a non-static data member initialisation (NSDMI), and Microsoft admits that their support for NSDMIs in Visual Studio 2013 was unreliable at best:
Unfortunately, the code in our compiler (some of it written 30 years ago) for handling initialization suffers from many longstanding architectural limitations. This code was sufficient for C++03-style initialization, but NSDMI, a C++11 feature, caused it to exhibit these limitations as severe bugs.
Given this, you may also wish to try simply upgrading your toolchain.
However, it could also be that your installation is completely broken/corrupted.
Either way, your first task is to reinstall Visual Studio and see whether the problem persists. Perhaps try compiling the project on a different computer.
If that doesn't fix it, you need to produce a minimal testcase and submit it to the developers for review (at MS Connect). Please be sure to come back here and link us to the posted issue so that I can update the answer with any pertinent information from the developers (e.g. version the bug is fixed in).
OK Finally Problem Solved, Only Need Update Visual Studio 2013 to Visual Studio 2013 Update 5.
On Update 5 For Visual Studio 2013 this bug is fixed completely.
Thank you "Lightness Races in Orbit" And "Niall" for answer and helps :)
i am so happy
This is a ICE (an internal compiler error). It is cause by the code around line 256 of the WorldSocket.cpp file.
In that file; the class AuthSession, here uses non-static default member initialisation (NSDMI) with an array (on line 256) that is shown in the error message.
IIRC, VS2013 does not fully support the NSDMI feature. It was added to C++11 but VS2013 had limitations in its implementation of NSDMI.
The uint8 Digest[SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH] = {}; could just be too much for it to compile.

C++ Visual Studio 2012 issues

Updated problem #3
I've narrowed the problem. It seems that simply including <thread> makes the compiler go mad.
I am not even making any thread calls, just including it.
I have tried enabling /EHsc and also disabling it.
Disabled, I get:
I get these 6 messages:
Error 1 error C2220: warning treated as error - no 'object' file generated (main.cpp) C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\VC\include\concrt.h 313 1 cefclient

And if enabled (Configuration Properties -> C/C++ -> Code Generation & in the Command Line)

I did a simple test with a new, blank project, including thread and just compiling. It went fine, no errors.
However in my main project I am using Chromium Embedded Framework v3, which seems to interact strangely with the thread inclusion?
Seems odd that simply including it would make such a mess.
Any ideas?
Update:
By removing the _HAS_EXCEPTIONS=0 flag entirely and rebuilding the project from CMake, I enter a state where the project won't even compile.
Due to this change it throws out a ton of warnings and errors from various files.
Errors such as:
Warning 230 warning C4530: C++ exception handler used, but unwind semantics are not enabled. Specify /EHsc (C:\Users\mads\Desktop\cef_binary_3.2526.1347.gcf20046_windows32\cefclient\browser\client_handler_osr.cc) C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\VC\include\xlocale 337 1 cefclient
According to a lot of asking around and googling, the solution to this is to specify /EHsc in Project Properties -> C/C++ -> Code Generation -> Enable C++ Exceptions = Yes(/EHsc).
As well as setting the flag /EHsc in the Command Line input field.
However, nothing changes. The same errors come out as if nothing was changed.
Update:
The error
Warning 2 warning C4530: C++ exception handler used, but unwind semantics are not enabled. Specify /EHsc (C:\Users\mads\Desktop\cef_binary_3.2556.1368.g535c4fb_windows32\libcef_dll\transfer_util.cc) C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\VC\include\xlocale 337 1 libcef_dll_wrapper
comes from the project "libcef_dll_wrapper", despite the fact that I HAVE speficied /EHsc in its project settings! Both in C++ -> Code Generation page and the Command Line
Solution edit:
Turns out that cmake files would override my set settings everytime I attempted to build or run the project, hence rendering any changes I made un-used, despite being set!
I was able to solve the problem by editing the project's cmake files directly.
Never used cmake before, so in the end it became a learning experience.
I have tested my project with thread inclusion now and it compiles as expected!
Thanks to all for great suggestions
Make sure neither the code nor the compiler command line define _HAS_EXCEPTIONS=0.
Compiling VC++ 12.0 with _HAS_EXCEPTIONS=0 and including concrt.h causes a compiler error:
If a source file is compiled with VC++ 12.0 with _HAS_EXCEPTIONS set to 0 and the source includes, whether directly or indirectly, concrt.h, the compiler gives an error of:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\VC\INCLUDE\concrt.h(4774) : error C3861: '__uncaught_exception': identifier not found
[...] Macro _HAS_EXCEPTIONS=0 is undocumented and unsupported by Microsoft.
It may work with some parts of the STL library for legacy reasons, but it won't be compatible with ConcRT library (concrt.h) since ConcRT depends on exceptions for cancellation.

VS2011 code analysis

I recently installed the VS2011 beta to get a feel for the new C++11 features Microsoft had implemented in the latest release of their compiler.
I've had an unexpected problem when going back to use VS2010 though. I've opened a Windows SDK 7.1 sample project in VS2010.
Now when I build in VS2010, I get the following output, denoting that a code analysis tool is being executed (seemingly after compilation, but before linking)

========== Rebuild All: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 skipped ==========
I've attempted to determine what change to the project has caused code analysis tool to be executed, but I can't find anything in the project properties. I've tried reloading the project in VS2011, but there's no option for code analysis that I can turn off (as suggested on MSDN).
The project is completely native C++, I've never used C++ with CLR
Further, I've tried opening other projects (my own) and now they're also invoking this code analysis stage. This prevents building due to problems with Microsoft code in many cases! Builds seem to succeed in VS2011 beta.
Can anyone offer insight into how to turn this code analysis tool off? I would hope to leave VS2011 beta installed, so please refrain from suggesting uninstalling it, unless it's the only option!
I think only VS2010 Ultimate supports code analysis. I don't have VS2012 but I think you should edit the vcxproj file manually.
Look for one or both of these params if they exist inside your project file:
<RunCodeAnalysis>true</RunCodeAnalysis> and <EnablePREfast>true</EnablePREfast>
Change both values to false and it should work.
Please note that these names are used by VS2010 and I am unsure if they changed it in VS2012.
