Windows Compilation : error C2783: 'void shogun::sg_generic_free(T *)': could not deduce template argument for '__formal'

[kikish]

Hello,

I have a problem when I try to compile shogun under Windows and Visual Studio 2015.
Within Visual Studio, I launch the Build process on the "shogun" project and I have the following error:

12>D:\Arezki\Downloads\shogun\src\shogun/io/streaming/ParseBuffer.h(274): error C2783: 'void shogun::sg_generic_free(T *)': could not deduce template argument for '__formal'
12>  D:\Arezki\Downloads\shogun\src\shogun/lib/memory.h(159): note: see declaration of 'shogun::sg_generic_free'

Do have an idea on what is going wrong ? Or what I missed ?

Regards,

Arezki.

Hi,
That seems to be due to a bug with constexpr in VS2015, according to this. Apparently it can be fixed by upgrading to VS2017 (or using another compiler).

Ah, nevermind that expression should give a static const, not a constexpr, so that should work fine.. It might still be worth trying out on VS2017 if you have it?

closing as adding support for 2015 in develop would be way too much work.
@kikish if you want to compile with VS 2015, please try using master branch (latest release)
