Smart pointer: runtime crash in VS 9 running WinXP-Sp3 - c++

I am getting run time crash in the following piece of code and not able to debug also. Please review and let me know what's going on.
// CppConsole.cpp : Defines the entry point for the console application.
//#include "stdafx.h"#include <iostream>#include <assert.h>
class Test : public std::tr1::enable_shared_from_this<Test>
{
public:
Test():x(0),y(0),z(0){};
int x;
float y;
double z;
};
int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
std::tr1::shared_ptr<Test> t1(new Test);
std::tr1::shared_ptr<Test> t2 = t1->shared_from_this();
return 0;
}
I have include all the headers and the program is compiling fine. This is the error i am getting:
CppConsole.exe - Entry Point Not Found The procedure entry point
?_Xweak#tr1#std##YAXXZ could not be located in the dynamic link
library MSVCP90D.dll
If I comment out this line
std::tr1::shared_ptr t2 = t1->shared_from_this();
the program runs without crashing.
Update: Question can be closed for now. I will try to install VS feature pack and see weather the program executes without any crashes.

Googled it (The procedure entry point ?_Xweak),found this : http://blog.nilretain.org/
EDIT : I Build and Run it successfully on my msvc 2008 on xp-sp3 ,which has later version of msvcp90d.dll.
Maybe you can download and install the latest redist-version of msvc90 and rebuild.
EDIT: your dependencies says something is missing. check this out :

You need a template argument:
std::tr1::shared_ptr<Test> t1(new Test);
std::tr1::shared_ptr<Test> t2 = t1->shared_from_this();
The compiler should report an error if it is not present. (Visual C++ 2010 does)

It appears that your compiler is not linking against a DLL with the needed runtime functions. For instance, if you added the headers to your include path, but don't link to the latest version of the C++ runtime (check your project's settings), or installing the Visual C++ 2008 feature pack didn't work, or you installed the feature pack but then tried to compile from Visual Studio 2005, etc.
Basically the "process the source code (including headers)" step is working fine, but the "link all the DLLs" step is failing. And it's failing because the runtime you're linking against doesn't have the needed functions for shared_ptrs or weak_ptrs.

I had this problem when developing under M$ Windows SP3 with M$ Visual Studio 2008. I tried and combined many hints that I could find on the web. To no avail. The solution was simple, I had to install SP1 pack for M$ Visual Studio 2008!
The thing is that my external DLLs used C++ TR1 functions that I was not aware of. The M$ Visual Studio 2008 without SP does not have the right runtime DLLs.
So, just make sure you have that SP1 for your M$ Visual Studio 2008 first before trying any other solution.

Declaring a static pointer in class [duplicate]

While compiling on x64 plattform I am getting following error:
c:\codavs05\hpsw-sc\ovpacc\tools\codaaccesstest\coda_access.cpp(1572): fatal error C1001: An internal error has occurred in the compiler.
(compiler file 'f:\dd\vctools\compiler\utc\src\p2\sizeopt.c', line 55)
To work around this problem, try simplifying or changing the program near the locations listed above.
Please choose the Technical Support command on the Visual C++
Help menu, or open the Technical Support help file for more information
------ Build started: Project: asyncexample, Configuration: Release Win32 ------
If I change settings to preprocessor file (Yes) i am not getting any error.
About my environment: Upgrading Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 to 2010
Please help.
I have had this problem with VS2015 while building locally in Windows.
In order to solve it, I deleted my build folder (Output Directory as seen in Properties/General) and rebuilt the project.
This always seems to help when strange things happen during the build.
I’ve encountered this error many times in VC++. Do the following steps. They’ve sometimes helped me with this issue:
Take a look at the exact location, pointed out by compiler error.
Find any external types or classes used there at that location.
Change the order of “include path” of those files found in step 2 and rebuild the solution.
I hope that help !!!!
I am getting same error with VC2012. Setting up the project properties Optimization to Disabled (/Od) resolved the issue.
In my solution, i've removed output dll file of the project, and I've made project rebuild.
I encountered the same error and spent quite a bit of time hunting for the problem. Finally I discovered that function that the error was pointing to had an infinite while loop. Fixed that and the error went away.
In my case was the use of a static lambda function with a QStringList argument. If I commented the regions where the QStringList was used the file compiled, otherwise the compiler reported the C1001 error. Changing the lambda function to non-static solved the problem (obviously other options could have been to use a global function within an anonymous namespace or a static private method of the class).
I got this error using boost library with VS2017. Cleaning the solution and rebuilding it, solved the problem.
I also had this problem while upgrading from VS2008 to VS2010.
To fix, I have to install a VS2008 patch (KB976656).
Maybe there is a similar patch for VS2005 ?
I got the same error, but with a different file referenced in the error message, on a VS 2015 / x64 / Win7 build. In my case the file was main.cpp. Fixing it for me was as easy as doing a rebuild all (and finding something else to do while the million plus lines of code got processed).
Update: it turns out the root cause is my hard drive is failing. After other symptoms prompted me to run chkdsk, I discovered that most of the bad sectors that were replaced were in .obj, .pdb, and other compiler-generated files.
I got this one with code during refactoring with a lack of care (and with templates, it case that was what made an ICE rather than a normal compile time error)
Simplified code:
void myFunction() {
using std::is_same_v;
for (auto i ...) {
myOtherFunction(..., i);
}
}
void myOtherFunction(..., size_t idx) {
// no statement using std::is_same_v;
if constexpr (is_same_v<T, char>) {
...
}
}
I had this error when I was compiling to a x64 target.
Changing to x86 let me compile the program.
Sometimes helps reordering the code. I had once this error in Visual Studio 2013 and this was only solved by reordering the members of the class (I had an enum member, few strings members and some more enum members of the same enum class. It only compiled after I've put the enum members first).
In my case, this was causing the problem:
std::count_if(data.cbegin(), data.cend(), [](const auto& el) { return el.t == t; });
Changing auto to the explicit type fixed the problem.
Had similar problem with Visual Studio 2017 after switching to C++17:
boost/mpl/aux_/preprocessed/plain/full_lambda.hpp(203): fatal error C1001: An internal error has occurred in the compiler.
1>(compiler file 'msc1.cpp', line 1518)
1> To work around this problem, try simplifying or changing the program near the locations listed above.
Solved by using Visual Studio 2019.
I first encountered this problem when i was trying to allocate memory to a char* using new char['size']{'text'}, but removing the braces and the text between them solved my problem (just new char['size'];)
Another fix on Windows 10 if you have WSL installed is to disable LxssManager service and reboot the PC.

C++11 constexpr causes compiler's internal error (C1001)

I am using Visual Studio 2015 Update 3.
I get a fatal error:
(code C1001) : An internal error has occurred in the compiler.
Here is the code :
template<typename T>
constexpr T epsilon = std::numeric_limits<T>::epsilon();
I read it was fixed in Visual Studio Update 2. Can someone explain me why I am getting this error? Thanks in advance.
Any internal error (ICE) is a compiler bug. You get it because you have happened to trigger that bug. For this compiler you can report it at Microsoft Connect.
For such a report you need an example with an expected correct result, and the erroneous result.
The following test program compiles & runs nicely with MinGW g++ 5.1
#include <limits>
template<typename T>
constexpr T epsilon = std::numeric_limits<T>::epsilon();
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
auto main() -> int
{
cout << epsilon<double> << endl;
}
Output:
2.22045e-016
With Visual C++ 2015 update 2 it produces an ICE:
foo.cpp(10): fatal error C1001: An internal error has occurred in the compiler.
(compiler file 'f:\dd\vctools\compiler\cxxfe\sl\p1\c\symbols.c', line 28114)
To work around this problem, try simplifying or changing the program near the locations listed above.
Please choose the Technical Support command on the Visual C++
Help menu, or open the Technical Support help file for more information
foo.cpp(10): note: see reference to variable template 'const double epsilon' being compiled
Compiler version:
> cl /nologo- 2>&1 | find "++"
Microsoft (R) C/C++ Optimizing Compiler Version 19.00.23725 for x86
I've raised this as a bug with Microsoft, but they have had a fix since early 2017 which has not been released from what I can see as of today.
I've also provided a project on GitLab and given information to Microsoft for this project here: https://gitlab.com/cppocl/tostring
Loading the .sln and compiling currently crashes with Visual Studio 2015 update 2 or 3, and Visual Studio Enterprise 2017 version 15.3.1.
It does seem that the combination of template and constexpr causes the compiler to crash.
I've seen reports for Visual Studio 2017 describing similar types of problems.
This link says fixed pending release:
https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/content/problem/18155/msvc-2017-c-fatal-error-c1001-constexpr-initializa.html
Visual Studio 2015 backlog of bugs relating to constexpr is here:
https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/vcblog/2015/12/02/constexpr-in-vs2015-update-1/
EDIT:
I also don't believe changing optimization settings will make any difference, as has been recommended in other posts.
I have experimented with these settings and applied recommended patches without success so far.

C++ Error RC2104 trying to compile PuTTY-PSCP (for Windows) on Visual Studio 6.0

I was about to use PuTTY Development source code for Windows to create my own client application (found here: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html) but as I tried to compile the PSCP project (SCP Client), I got the following error :
C:\work\2015\Putty\windows\version.rc2 (18): error RC2104 : undefined
keyword or key name: BINARY_VERSION
I've been going through the various posts involving this error but didn't find anything working :
error RC2104: undefined keyword or key name: DS_SETFONT :
On this post I noticed that the version of MSVC was brought up so I figured maybe something has to be done to get PuTTY to work on VC 6.0 ?
Also I tried to add #include <windows.h> in both version.rc2 (version.rc2 is used for inclusion in all .rc files) and pscp.rc, none worked.
I'll be quick to answer if you need any information (project properties, source code...)
USING Visual Studio 6.0 with SP6 on Windows 8.1
Probably, wrong version.h is seen.
Correctly, the file version.h in the project folder should be seen.
Please try to modify version.rc2:
#include "version.h"
to
#include "..\\..\\..\\version.h"
At least, resource compiler will end successfully.
If you search through the PuTTY source files, you'll notice that BINARY_VERSION is defined in version.h and used in windows/version.rc2, which #includes version.h.
Since your version.rc2 isn't seeing version.h, try to figure out why: Is version.h still present and does it still contain BINARY_VERSION? Are your include paths correct? Is there another version.h somewhere else in your include path that's getting picked up by mistake?
Which source code are you using ?
I tested latest(0.64) "Release source code for Windows".
direct link is
http://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/latest/putty-src.zip
I had tried to compile using VC++ 6.0 Professional with SP6, on my PC,
running Windows XP SP3.
After extracting putty-src.zip to somewhere with keeping folder
structures, did you correctly opened 'putty.dsw' in "putty-src\windows\MSVC" folder?
You should be find in 7 projects in 'FileView' tab of the workspace
in Visual Studio 6.0.
You can switch active project to 'pscp' with context menu via
right button click on 'pscp' project.
With modified version.rc2, resource compiler finished successful.
But two (sshshare.c, winsftp.c) C source files failed compiling
with 20 errors. in 'pscp' project.
Errors while compiling 'winsftp.c' is caused 'TIME_POSIX_TO_WIN'
and 'TIME_WIN_TO_POSIX' macros.
'ull(unsigned long long)' is a 64-bit integer-suffix, newly defined in C99. Since C99 standard is not support on VC6, then caused errors.
I had temporally modified
11644473600ull ------> ((ULONGLONG)11644473600)
10000000ull ---------> ((ULONGLONG)10000000)
and confirmed errors are cleared. (Sorry, no validation the code is correctly generated)
3 errors while compiling 'sshshare.c' is also caused another macro.
I cannot understand why you got 116 errors.

'TypeInfo<char>(char *)' isn't defined but worked pre-C++11; what changed, and how can I fix the error?

I am trying to build a DLL from source-code from the Crysis Wars SDK, and have successfully done so in the past on previous versions of Visual Studio (namely 2005, 2008, and 2010).
My specific problem is this:
Error 4 error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "struct CTypeInfo const & __cdecl
TypeInfo<char>(char *)" (??$TypeInfo#D##YAABUCTypeInfo##PAD#Z) referenced in function
"void __cdecl SwapEndian<char>(char *,unsigned int)" (??$SwapEndian#D##YAXPADI#Z)
G:\Noctis\Mods\Noctis\Code\GameCVars.obj GameDll
I have attempted to clean the code in Visual Studio and rebuild it on the off-chance this'll work, but this has not changed anything.
Am I missing something here, or has something changed from C++03 to C++11 that means that this code is no longer compilable without reverting to an older version of C++?
I have successfully compiled this code on Visual Studio 2010 in both 64 bit and 32 bit, so it must be some issue related to migrating the project to Visual Studio 2015.
Compilation on 2012, 2013, and 2015 versions of Visual Studio reproduce this error but not 2010, so it seems that the change to trigger this problem was introduced in C++11.
What am I doing wrong?
Reading the answer to mem-fun is not a member of std, it could just be that I need to include a standard library that I didn't need to include in earlier versions of Visual Studio.
If this is true, which library would I need to #include?
I have also created a GitHub repository containing only the original unmodified code provided from the SDK, for testing purposes (in the event I myself made a typo, which doesn't seem to be the case here but I've put the link here as it may be helpful).
If it matters, I'm using Visual Studio 2015 Enterprise edition on Windows 10 Professional x64.
What does the error mean?
The error message hints towards a classic "declared but not defined" scenario.
TypeInfo<char>(char*) is declared in TypeInfo.h (through some macros) and declared in AutoTypeInfo.cpp in project CryCommon.
Usually you would just make sure the CryCommon project is built correctly and linked into your final GameDll project properly and that's it.
But it turns out here that the CryCommon project has not been built for a long time - it references many other Crytek libraries etc. So the problem must be that something now needs these TypeInfo<> definitions and previously it did not.
What is referencing the TypeInfo<> code?
In your project it's function CmdHelp() in Aurora/Code/GameCVars.cpp, precisely this line:
nRead = gEnv->pCryPak->FRead( buf, BUFSZ, f );
The implementation of the FRead() method is in CryCommon/ICryPak.h:
template<class T>
size_t FRead(T *data, size_t elems, FILE *handle, bool bSwap = true)
{
size_t count = FReadRaw(data, sizeof(T), elems, handle);
if (bSwap)
SwapEndian(data, count);
return count;
}
As you can see, if bSwap is true (the default), SwapEndian() is invoked there.
Why hasn't this manifested before?
Perhaps the compiler was indeed behaving differently.
Or, more likely, you have been always compiling the project as Release before. The whole byte-swapping functionality is enabled only on big-endian systems (and your target is most probably not one of those) or during debug - then the bytes are actually swapped twice to test the related code (see CryCommon/Endian.h).
What can be done to fix it?
You have several options now:
Keep compiling as release only (probably as before). Perhaps you will never be debugging the code in a debugger anyway.
Just comment the swap call in FRead() code out. You are using it to load a text file anyway, no point in swapping the characters around.
...
FWIW, other things I had to do to make your code compile:
Check out the earlier commit before "Broken"
Load Mods\Aurora\Code\Aurora.sln
Remove non-existing .vcprojx projects
Add all 3 .vcproj files again, let them be converted to VS2015 ones
For GameDll project, add preprocessor definition _SILENCE_STDEXT_HASH_DEPRECATION_WARNING
For GameDll project, set enabled C++ exception handling /EHsc

Can not find mpirxx.h after building the mpir-2.6.0 library in vc++

I need to use mpir-2.6.0 library with visual c++ 2010. My code is going to be in c++.
I extracted both folders (mpir-2.6.0 and vsyasm-1.2.0-win32). Then, I copied the content of the folder vsyasm-1.2.0-win32 (including vsyasm.exe after renaming it to yasm.exe and placing it in: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\VC\bin\. Then, I opened the project: mpir.sln which is placed in: \mpir-2.6.0\build.vc10. Then, I changed the Project configuration to: Release.
When I try to build the whole solution, I get a lot of errors such as:
error C1020: unexpected #endif c:\proj\mpir-2.6.0\mpir-2.6.0\mpir.h 4 1 lib_mpir_gc
error C1020: unexpected #endif c:\proj\mpir-2.6.0\mpir-2.6.0\mpir.h 4 1 lib_mpir_gc
error C1020: unexpected #endif c:\proj\mpir-2.6.0\mpir-2.6.0\mpir.h 4 1 lib_mpir_gc
But when I build every library separately, it is successful.
After the build, I went to: \mpir-2.6.0\build.vc10\Win32\Release
and find the files:
mpir.lib
mpirxx.lib
mpir.pdb
mpirxx.pdb
But I can not find the files:
mpir.h
mpirxx.h
Which I need to copy them the visual studio include file.
My main source for these configuration is: http://www.exploringbinary.com/how-to-install-and-run-gmp-on-windows-using-mpir/ (but this was for old versions for the library and the ysam). I do not understand the reasons for these errors. I was able to configure the library with old version. But I need to upgrade as there are improvements in the library and mine is very old one.
The output files are now located in mpir\lib\Win32\Release or mpir\dll\Win32\Release.
The recommended way to build MPIR specifcally for your CPU is to first run mpir_config.py which is located in the build.vc10 directory. mpir_config.py will prompt you with a list of CPU options. Then when you open mpir.sln, you should only compile code for the specific CPU. And then you compile the C++ wrapper (i.e. compile lib_mpir_p3 first, and then lib_mpir_cxx).
Edit: I just noticed another error from your original post. You need to rename the directory "mpir-2.6.0" to "mpir". The directory layout needs to be "<>\mpir\build.vc10"
I had the same problem with MPIR 2.6.0 and VS 2012. What I did to make MPIR work was to build lib_gc and lib_cxx, both with win32 and release mode. Because my c++ application is win32 console, this way it worked perfectly.
Becuase my windows is 64, I thought I had to build 64 versions, but turned out that I was wrong.
