AC25 API Compile Error - ParameterPackTraits.hpp

[Erenford]

I'm trying to compile one of the examples of the API (Element_Test) and I'm encountering errors on GSRoot\ParameterPackTraits.hpp.

Only thing I did is edit the MDID (dev+addon id).
I've tried other examples (Attribute_Test), same thing happened
Any ideas on how to fix this?

Hi Erenford,

It is a known issue, the fix is already under development. Until then, you can work around it by setting the compiler warning level from level 4 (/W4) to level 3 (/W3). It should compile after that.

Andras

[Viktor Kovacs]

This is happening because you are trying to compile the code with a later version of Visual Studio than what Archicad builds with.

You can work around the situation by lowering the "Warning Level", and turn off "Treat Warnings As Errors" in the project settings.

[Erenford]

Thanks it compiles now. Seems lowering the "Warning Level" is enough.

Also just hit the same thing in vs2019 (in the year 2022). Note that trying to use vs2017 seemed to hit a pragma that only the 2019 build tools are supported. So curious.
