[ace-bugs] tao_idl.exe error when compiled with Visual Studio 2017 release mode

[Ken Holladay]

Yes. Fresh tree. Using TAO_ACE_vs2017.sln, Compile Release x64, and toa_idl.exe will not run. Same errors as indicated below.
Have there been no other reports of this issue?

Ken.

Hi,

Have you tried to only compile release in a fresh tree and see if it works? We compile frequently in release mode without any problems

Best regards,
