Fails to build with VS 2019

[pjc158]

Hi
Since upgrading to VS 2019 (16.3) ForestDB does not build.
Anyone aware of this?

Hi Sundar This is the link I have a ticket for with Microsoft https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/content/problem/799996/error-c2615-offsetof-cannot-be-applied-to-non-clas.html error C2615: &#39;offsetof&#39; cannot be applied to non-class type - Developer Community<https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/content/problem/799996/error-c2615-offsetof-cannot-be-applied-to-non-clas.html> Developer Community for Visual Studio Product family developercommunity.visualstudio.com I think it is a toolset issue with VS. The line that fails VS 2019 is: kvs_node = _get_entry(a, struct kvs_node, avl_name); _get_entry is: #define _get_entry(ELEM, STRUCT, MEMBER) ((STRUCT *) ((uint8_t *) (ELEM) - offsetof (STRUCT, MEMBER))) kv_instace.cc fails to compile. In fact the only toolset that works is for VS 2015, 2017 has the same issue. Regards Phillip Carruthers

Thanks so much, I think we will need to track this with the VS tools team.
