Windows support?

In principle, Agency should compile on Windows, though I have not tried to do so recently.

Have you? If so, what happened?

I tried to compile some work projects with MSVC2019 and CUDA 10.2 SDK, but had a bunch of errors related to some Agency internal macros:

I'll try to make minimal reproducible example

Thanks for looking into it. Probably around ~5 years ago I tried with whatever version of MSVC was current at the time, and that implementation had trouble with Agency's use of constexpr. Agency uses only C++11 features, so I expect a recent version of MSVC will be able to deal with the codebase, provided that these macro issues are sorted out.

Unfortunately, I don't have access to a Windows development machine, so I'll need to rely on others to help me address these issues with MSVC. A minimal reproducible example will be helpful, thanks.

I tried to compile examples using CMake and have had some patches now; I'll send it ASAP.
Also I made some ad-hoc find_package module for proper library adding into the project. If you're interested, I'll try to make PRs for CMake find_package() support and Windows fixes. Thank you.
