Release compiler miss-match

[SpiderPig]

I running Visual Studio 22 v17.8.2 and Release will no longer compile.  I have the latest Ultra update.  I tried rolling back VS to before the last update but it only goes back once it seems and then the option to roll back is no longer available.

What do you suggest here @Josh?  Do we hold off updating VS until you've updated on your end?

[Josh]

It looks like they just put out an update. I am on 17.8.0. It is very rare for VS to break compatibility between updates, even between major versions (i.e. 2019-2022)

I don't know for sure that is the problem but I will update to 17.8.2 today.

Okay, I'll just keep reporting if it breaks again.

Make sure "whole program optimization" is disabled in the VS project settings.

I disabled it for release mode but still won't compile.

[Josh]

Did you try creating a new project and making sure that also does not work?

[SpiderPig]

...I hadn't, but just did and that worked.   I'll see what settings are different.

Got it working.  There are two "whole program optimization" options.  One in "C++\Optimization" and another in the "Advanced" section of Configuration Properties".  I changed the "Advanced" one which is why it didn't work.
