googletest on Visual Studio 2012 RC on Windows 8 RC does not compile #412
Description
I would like to request that the team supports Windows 8 RC. I know that
Windows 8 RC is not a release from Microsoft. However, being able to support
developers working on the Windows 8 platform would be really nice. Currently,
trying to even compile gtest on Windows 8 fails. I detail the problems below.
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Loading the solution with Visual Studio 2012 RC on Windows 8 RC Build 8400
will cause the solution to be converted to Visual Studio 2012 v110 code
generation.
2. Upon attempting to build gtest a number of compiler issues occur. All of
the errors occur in gtest-param-util-generated.h related to templates. Visual
Studio 2012 has an issue with the number of template arguments in
std::tr1::tuple according to the compiler.
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The expected output is that the build is successful. Instead, I get the
following output:
Note: Output has been modified slightly to hide some details unrelated to gtest:
