Compile Blaze on MSVC with VCPKG

Issue #236 resolved

Frank Drop created an issue 2019-03-10

I installed blaze on windows10 using the VCPKG manager (which required me to install blaze:x64-windows, because openblas does not have x86 windows support) I get errors when trying to compile the following:

#include <iostream>
#include <blaze/Blaze.h>

int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
    std::cout << "hello" << std::endl;
    return 0;
}

I wasn't sure this is a blaze bug, but since I pretty much followed the install instructions literally I thought this might be the best place to ask.

Hi Frank!

In order to be able to help I need the information which version of Visual Studio you are using. Since the error message suggests an MSVC problem and since Blaze is continuously tested for MSVC, there is a high probability that the version of MSVC is too old, some flags are missing, or something similar. Thanks,

Best regards,

Klaus!

Hi Frank!

Thanks for the information. Which compiler flags do you use? And could you please provide a minimum example (in case this doesn't just happen when you include <blaze/Blaze.h>)?

Best regards,

Klaus!

Hi Frank!

I tried to reproduce the error, but although I'm using the exact same version of Visual Studio 2017 all tests compile flawlessly. Still, I have an idea of what could potentially cause the problem: MSVC always had problems with the template keyword to disambiguate the use of nested templates. The line in question contains such a use of a nested template. Therefore I have pushed commit f7fc598 as an attempt to resolve the problem. Could you please do me the favor to check if this change resolves the issue on your system (either via cloning from the repository or if that is not possible by manually editing <blaze/math/typetraits/IsSIMDEnabled.h>)? I appreciate the help, thanks a lot,

Best regards,

Klaus!

Great, that has fixed it.

Thank you very much.

In the meantime I also tried compiling with MinGW and ran into a little problem there as well, I'll make another issue.

- changed status to resolved
Commit f7fc598 resolves the MSVC compilation issue with the Blaze 3.5 installation from vcpkg. The fix is immediately available via cloning the Blaze repository and will be officially released in Blaze 3.6.
