strtof() multiple defined symbol at linktime

[lundmark]

It's a part of the standard library and simply defining it for all msc-versions won't work on msvc2015 (at least).

[wc-duck]

Ahh... yes. That entire code need to be looked at to see what to use to parse all these numbers. I'll start of by just not defining strtof() on 2015.

[wc-duck]

I do not have access to MSVC2015 here at home, do you know what _MSC_VER is set to there?

[lundmark]

I'm running 19.00.23506 so 1900... not sure where strtof is supported though...

[lundmark]

Seems like vs 2013 was the first version with it... which should be uhm 1700 I think?

[lundmark]

Nope sorry I think 2013 is vs 12.0 which is compiler version 1800

[wc-duck]

Would you be able to test out the pushed fix?

[lundmark]

I tested it... works on 2015 but not on 2013, so you need to compare with 1700 instead of 1900! Then it works perfectly.

[wc-duck]

but 1700 seems to be 2012? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/70013/how-to-detect-if-im-compiling-code-with-visual-studio-2008

[lundmark]

Well, I tried to run cl /? with my vs2013 and it showed 17.00-version, so visual studio 2012/2013 must share the same compiler then. Also the 2015-version showed 19.00. You can also look here:. https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/b0084kay(v=vs.120).aspx

And change between versions - I think the example shows the currently selected major version.

[lundmark]

Sorry yes you're right, 1800 is the right one!

[lundmark]

Not sure why my cl shows 1700 tho...

[wc-duck]

Is this still an issue?

[lundmark]

Nope!
