[CMake] Visual Studio 2015 Generator crash 3.13

[Harry Mallon]

Hi,

I just updated to CMake 3.13 (to get the IPO in Visual Studio). I am using Visual Studio Build tools 2017 (with 2015 extra tools installed).

This crashes (without any feedback):
call "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\BuildTools\VC\Auxiliary\Build\vcvarsall.bat" x86_x64 -vcvars_ver=14.0
cmake -Ax64 -G"Visual Studio 14 2015" -DHDE_CREATE_DOCS=%MAKE_DOCS% -DBOOST_ROOT="C:\Libraries\boost_1_66_0" ../

However this works fine:
cmake -Ax64 -G"Visual Studio 15 2017" -DHDE_CREATE_DOCS=%MAKE_DOCS% -DBOOST_ROOT="C:\Libraries\boost_1_66_0" ../

Any ideas? I don’t have a debugger on Windows to look at it at the moment.

Best,
Harry

Hi Harry,

Sorry to hear you got a crash while trying to generate a VS2015 project
using CMake 3.13. I just tried to reproduce your issue, but I could not.
Do you already get the crash with the following CMakeLists?

cmake_minimum_required( VERSION 3.13)
project(MyProject)
add_executable(MyProject MySource.cpp)
set_property(TARGET MyProject
PROPERTY INTERPROCEDURAL_OPTIMIZATION_RELEASE TRUE)

Below here, my command-line output (no crash).

Hi Niels,

Apologies for not replying inline, that email didn’t get through (except in the digest). I can reproduce it with that short project file (also with the INTERPROCEDURAL_OPTIMIZATION_RELEASE line commented out).

I have just spent some time trying to debug it, but I don’t have a full copy of Visual Studio. I have this information from CDB.exe. Is that more use?

Hi Harry,

Sorry I don't know how to interpret the CDB.exe dump you gave. Maybe
someone else on the mailing list...? So you have the crash, even with a
minimal CMakeLists.txt of three lines:

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.13)
project(MyProject)
add_executable(MyProject MySource.cpp)

And the following command:
cmake.exe" -Ax64 -G"Visual Studio 14 2015" ../

I just built a Debug (x64) version of cmake.exe on VS2015, directly from
https://gitlab.kitware.com/cmake/cmake.git and tried to reproduce your
issue, but again, no crash at all.

Do you get this crash with the previous release version (CMake 3.12.4)
as well? Or are you 100% sure that it is introduced with 3.13?

Hi again all,

I have some more information.

https://gitlab.kitware.com/cmake/cmake/commit/83ddc4d2891a0bbb06fb1e3daa00245b3c23eddc

That commit causes the crash. When sdks[0] is used I have no SDKs left in the list as it finds 2 but both are a higher version than "10.0.14393.0" which is apparently “The last Windows 10 SDK version that VS 2015 can target”.

I am currently downloading a lower SDK version to test.
