Continued VS2015 Configuration Normalization (1, 2, 3)

Symptoms

A full build of this FreeImage solution (or of the WinIMerge solution referencing it) generated various non-fatal compile, librarian or link warnings for parameter incompatibilities. Many of these were removed with the earlier set of 'More VS2015 Configuration Normalization' commits.

Also, the two testing solutions TestAPI/Test.2015.sln and Wrapper/FreeImagePlus/test/fipTest.2015.sln either did not compile, did not link or did not run consistently.

Solution

This is a continued attempt to standardize the various detailed configuration options values of all the various project's and solution's configurations (Release/Debug with Win32/X64) for VS2015.

The two testing solutions TestAPI/Test.2015.sln and Wrapper/FreeImagePlus/test/fipTest.2015.sln (and their project files) have also been completely updated and both are now fully functional; I don't know what the proper results should be, but their runtime behaviors now seem reasonable and are repeatable.

This commit comment builds upon the previous collection of "More VS2015 Configuration Normalization" commits, thus providing long-term documentation in a single place. Additions and changes since those earlier commits are noted as bold below.

---

General :: (All)

• Platform Toolset = Visual Studio 2015 - Windows XP (v140_xp) (added to the TestAPI/Test.2015 and Wrapper/FreeImagePlus/test/fipTest.2015 projects)
• Windows Target Platform Version = 5.01 (to help with XP compatibility)

General :: (Release)

• Whole Program Optimization = true

General :: (Debug)

• Whole Program Optimization = None

---

C/C++ :: General (All)

• Multi-Processor Compilation = Yes

C/C++ :: General (Release)

• Debug Information = None

C/C++ :: General (Debug)

• Debug Information = Program Database for Edit And Continue

---

C/C++ :: Preprocessor (All)

• Preprocessor definition for _CRT_NONSTDC_NO_WARNINGS is added to the LibRawLite and ZLib projects.
• Preprocessor definitions for _CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS and _SCL_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS are added to fipTest project.

---

C/C++ :: Optimization (Release)

• Optimization = Full
• Inline Functions = Any Suitable
• Favor Size or Speed = Small Code
• Omit Frame Pointers = Yes
• Whole Program Optimization = Yes

C/C++ :: Optimization (Debug)

• Optimization = Disabled

---

C/C++ :: Code Generation (All)

• String Pooling = Yes
• Minimum Rebuild = No (conflicts with Multiprocessor compilation)
• Enable C++ Exceptions = Yes
• Enhanced Instructions = Streaming SIMD Extnesions (Win32 only) (added to Test and fipTest projects)

C/C++ :: Code Generation (Release)

• Basic Runtime Checks = Default
• Security Check = Disable
• Enable Function Level Linking = No

C/C++ :: Code Generation (Debug)

• Basic Runtime Checks = Both
• Security Check = Enable
• Enable Function Level Linking = Yes (added for fipTest project)

---

C/C++ :: Language (All)

• Open MP Support = none (This is only conditionally used by the LibRaw project, but was explicitly disabled in FreeImageLib since 3.14.1, Aug 2010)

---

C/C++ :: Precompiled Headers (All)

• = Not Using Precompiled Headers (earlier patches)

---

Librarian :: General (All)

• Target Machine = X86 or X64, explicitly
• Link Library Dependancies = No (except for the single FreeImageLib project, where the value is Yes)

Librarian :: General (Release)

• Link Time Code Generation = Yes

Librarian :: General (Debug)

• Link Time Code Generation = No

---

Linker :: System

• Subsystem = Windows (for FreeImage project)
• Subsystem = Console (for Test and fipTest projects)

Linker :: Optimization (Release)

• References = Yes
• Enable COMDAT folding = Yes

Linker :: Optimization (Debug)

• References = No
• Enable COMDAT folding = No

Linker :: (Release)

• Whole Program Optimization = Use Link Time Code Generation

---

Miscellaneous

• The FreeImagePlus project supported X64 configurations, but the solution did not. Added.
• Add a .gitignore file to the project.
• The FreeImageLib project was not being built along with the rest of the projects in the solution. Fixed.
• Updated the .gitignore file to ignore resulting image files from the fipTest.2015 program.
• The Wrapper/FreeImagePlus/FreeImagePlus.2015.sln is redundant and confusing and has now been removed. The associated .vcxproj project file has always been properly referenced from theFreeImage.2015.sln file.
• Additional Dependancies and Additional Library Directories linker properties are now correct for the fipTest.2015 project
• The /Dist/x32 and /Dist/x64 folders now contain proper .pdb files for the freeImagePlusd.lib and freeImageLibd.lib debugging builds

Testing

• The TestAPI/Test.2015 solution runs correctly (the best that I can tell) in all configurations.
• The WinIMerge solution (not part of this repo) builds correctly and the stand-alone WinIMerge program runs correctly in all configurations.
• The WinMerge solution (also not part of this repo) works correctly (in all configurations) when connected to the WinIMergeLib.dll that is produced by the WinIMerge solution. That is the obvious goal/requirement of all the changes here.
• The Wrapper/FreeImagePlus/test/fipTest.2015 solution compiles and runs correctly (the best that I can tell) in all configurations.
