I've seen a number of people with issues with the new Microsoft Visual C++ compiler in the past 5 weeks (since 08/31), and am wondering if i960 (post #5) is correct. I've seen more of these compiler issues that support now needs to help with: one that just gave up and said he was taking his issue to Youtube; another was able to fix it with some pragma changes; another saw an issue with user contributed studies; a couple others --me included -- had compilation issues in Wine. I'm not saying things are worse, and maybe these issues aren't positively correlated to the new compiler, but maybe compilation could be improved. Every time -- and I mean "Every" -- I've seen Microsoft technology used, things "get worse". The Microsoft guys just can't create anything without a gazillion bugs/annoyances. Have you considered Intel's optimizing C++ compiler? https://software.intel.com/sites/default/files/managed/82/18/PSXE2017_Release_Notes_en_US_Lin_Win.pdf https://software.intel.com/en-us/node/682940 I presume it could "portably" be placed anywhere (/opt/intel/, $HOME/opt/intel, .../SierraChart/ACS_Source/intel/) and the location of compiler components easily specified: https://software.intel.com/en-us/node/682328 The license is free to open source contributors; I see DTC is open, but maybe not "open source"; surely that could be changed, or the compilation/API/DTC part of SC could be open sourced: https://software.intel.com/en-us/qualify-for-free-software https://software.intel.com/en-us/blogs/2013/01/03/free-intel-c-compilers-for-students-and-related-parallel-programming-tools
