Unable to create database on windows 11 ARM machine #15417

Description of the issue

I am unable to create a codeql database when using ARM hardware running windows 11 with CodeQL version 2.16.0

C:\codeql-home>codeql version CodeQL command-line toolchain release 2.16.0. Copyright (C) 2019-2024 GitHub, Inc.

To list modules that are visible to the toolchain, use 'codeql resolve qlpacks' and 'codeql resolve languages'.

Can you confirm that the build command

msbuild /t:rebuild -p:configuration=Release -p:platform=x64 C:\codeql-home\KMDF_Driver1\KMDF_Driver1.sln

succeeds when executed on its own (without invoking the codeql extractor)?

If so, can you please share the log files inside the testdb/log directory?

jacob-ronstadt commented 9 months ago

Yes the build command works on its own.

I have checked back with the C++ team. Unfortunately, arm64 is currently only supported on macOS, but not on any version of Windows: https://codeql.github.com/docs/codeql-overview/system-requirements/ Therefore, we won't be able to investigate this in detail, apologies.

@ginsbach Thanks for looking into this. Are there plans to eventually support arm64 with windows? Is there a place I can put in a feature request for this?

We are internally thinking about ARM support (which we currently have only for Apple Silicon) on Linux and Windows, but it is not an immediate priority until we see wider demand from customers. I have made relevant people aware of this issue as an additional data point for that decision making.
