I really liked the debugger, but am unable to compile anything beyond 0.205 (from December 2018). Currently, i work with Visual Studio 2017 (15.9.x) and a 'retargeted' 14.14 toolset (-> mimics a 15.7 compiler). https://devblogs.microsoft.com/cppb...ion-msvc-toolsets-in-visual-studio-2017/ Are there alternatives to GDB? I understand nobody wants to support Visual Studio here, so a slight nudge in the right direction would be very kind (like 'use VS2019 + commercial WinDBG'). Yeah, i'd even shell out a few hundred bucks for a semi-professional tool. Last edited by Bavarese; 07/25/19 04:00 PM.

Is it still Visual Studio 2017...? My fellow countryman Rfka was also unable to build the solution, that's why i ask for a bit more details Thanks in advance.

I am able to build again with Visual Studio 2019 Community Edition 16.3.6, so i can abandon my futile attempts with GDB on Windows. Environment: a) bleeding edge sources from today (Oct. 24th 2019) with minor tweaks @ 'chainmanager.cpp' (VS 2019 doesn't like uint8_t palette_temp[palette->width() * palette->height() * 4]; ) b) msys64-32-2019-03-25 Note: build environment must be updated because Genie got a 'vs2019' switch (not present in march release above). 0.214 stable didn't work because the recent fixes by Julian Sikorski are missing (think so).

Its not just that you're not dealing with the VC specific compilation bugs, but that unoptimized (i.e. - debugging) code is several times faster. Not sure what is happening, but it makes for a much more satisfactory debugging experience.

Having an issue compiling mame 0.227, as excerpted below. I thought it might have been due to gcc-10 but I downgraded to gcc-9 and got the same result. Any thoughts or suggestions are welcome.

Code

Compiling src/frontend/mame/luaengine_render.cpp...
