I installed Visual Studio 2012 recently and it appears that I'm unable to build my solutions properly as the IDE is reporting a crash in CL.exe.
The only error it's reporting is error MSB6006: "CL.exe" exited with code 1073741855. In addition to this, I'm getting a lot of warnings concerning Microsoft.CppCommon.targets. Lots of the errors are of the form "The 'x' attribute is not declared."
This might seem like a stupid question, but I cannot understand why it's doing this.
According to the accepted answer in this question, the error code means STATUS_WX86_BREAKPOINT. It's not clear to me how this is relevant to what I'm doing.
I created an empty solution and put this code:
int main() {
return 0;
}
Just to see if the problem remains. It does.
Possibly Useful Information:
- Operating System: Windows 7
- IDE Build: 11.0.50727.1 RTMREL
Questions:
- Why is this happening?
- What can I do to figure out what's going on?
- What can I do to fix the problem?
- Is the information present in this question sufficient?
