Unable to get examples successfully built on Visual Studio 2012/Win7 platform

[mg]

Hi,

  I am trying to build ispc examples using Visual Studio 2012, which fails with an error when building the simple.cpp file

    C:\soft\ispc-v1.3.0-windows\examples\x64\Release\simple_ispc.h : fatal error LNK1107: invalid or corrupt file: cannot read at 0x405

ispc -O2 --arch=x86-64 --target=avx simple.ispc -o simple_ispc.o -h simple_ispc.h

Thanks

mg

I'm not sure that I got you right. But the problems with COFF and
compiler fail during "whole program optimization" at link step are
known VS problems, which are not related to ISPC. If you install
VS2012 on your computer and still using VS2010 (i.e. not upgrading the
project causes using VS2010 toolchain), make sure that you install
VS2010 SP1 after that. It's also recommended to use VS2012 Update2 due
to know bugs in VS2012 which trigger on LLVM build (bugs are
correctness bugs, which supposed to show off on LLVM test suit).

Check MSDN for more details of COFF bug.

I think this problem has been solved here. I have tried the fix MS suggested and it is working.
