Thanks.
It appears the /FAcs compiler option is causing the problem. With the switch removed, I can compile fine. I'll see what impact this will have on our application, but in the meantime is there a reason for this that is known to microsoft?
Hi Nick Hynes,
Do you mean that you removed /FAcs compiler option only for the project
which you mentioned in your last reply and still compiled with Release|x86 configuration , currently it can compile well without the error, right?
If yes, I am a little confused about your scenario. Is there any other project which needs to have reference to
the project? What is the output file of the project
for? Because /FAcs compiler option helps us to create a listing file containing assembly code and if
/FAcs is specified, the file extension will be .cod. Do you have any project or any service to go to open this file? Whether the file you want to open is .asm not .cod. So if you use /FA option, whether the issue still happen.
And based on your original post, I want to confirm if there is no problem when you run it on Windows 7 , and this issue you met only happen on Windows server 2012.
In order to verify if there is any limitation to access .cod file in windows server, I make a small test with Windows server 2008 R2 with VS2012 (Sorry I have no windows server 2012). I create a simple console project and add assembly
file into the project source file, and let main cpp file link the assembly file. I can build the project well on windows server 2008 R2. No matter I use .asm as the file extension for assembly or .cod as the file extension, I can build successfully.
So I am not sure how you use the /FAcs output file, whether the issue only exists in windows server 2012.
This is my assembly file:
.386
.model flat
.stack
.code
_Square proc
mov eax, [esp+4]
imul eax
push eax ; Save the calculated result
; Call PrintResult here
push eax ; value
push 0 ; ShowSquare
;call _PrintResult
add esp, 8 ; Clear the stack
pop eax ; Return the calculated result
ret
_Square endp
end
This is my testing cpp file:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
extern "C" long Square(long);
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
long Num1, Num2;
do
{
cout << "Enter number to square" << endl;
cin >> Num1;
Num2 = Square(Num1);
cout << "Square returned: " << Num2 << endl;
}
while (Num2);
return 0;
}
