LLVM 10 is failing to build on Windows

[steven-johnson]

LLVM10 hasn't changed in months, so something about our build setup has changed... either changes to the buildbot script or changes to the CMake files.

See (e.g.) https://buildbot.halide-lang.org/master/#/builders/35/builds/1

LLVM10 hasn't changed in months

While that's true, I think we should be building against a release tag, not a branch.

I wonder if this is related to changing to C++14? Most google results seem to inidicate people "solved" this by moving to the LLVM 11.x branch :-/

Vcpkg's issue: https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg/issues/12814

[steven-johnson]

Maybe, but again, this is some recent injection on our side.

[steven-johnson]

Also true.

[shoaibkamil]

Did we recently change compiler versions on the buildbots? My local version of cl.exe doesn't seem to have this issue, but it looks like from some of the threads on the internet that it's a specific VC version showing this.

[steven-johnson]

Yeah, it's quite possible -- there have been a lot of tweaks in the buildbot lately. I'll do some checking on Moday.

[steven-johnson]

I have inserted a brutal workaround into the Buildbot (https://github.com/halide/build_bot/pull/104). I'm going to leave this open for now as a better long-term fix should be available.
