Qt Resource Compiler won't set the required flags

Hello Miquel,

We are using precompiled headers in our projects. And when I use VS 2017 and the VS Tools 2.7.1, I can convert and compile everything without a problem.

Before VS Tools 2.8.0 was installed in VS 2022 I could load the solution build etc.

Now with VS 2022 and VS 2.8.0 installed, I can load the solution but I have a problem with building qrc files.

It looks like that the compiler won't get the required flags for these files.

 

For example ZIP.C could be compiled with

 

/Gd /TC /wd4100 /wd4101 /wd4189 /wd4127 /wd4018 /wd4189 /wd4100 /wd4309 /wd4189 /wd4577 /wd4467 /FC /errorReport:prompt -Zc:rvalueCast -Zc:inline -Zc:strictStrings -Zc:throwingNew -Zc:referenceBinding -Zc:_cplusplus /arch:AVX /Zc:rvalueCast /Zc:inline /Zc:strictStrings /Zc:throwingNew /Zc:referenceBinding /Zc:_cplusplus -w34100 -w34189 -w44996 -w44100 -w44309 -w44189 -w44456 -w44457 -w44458

The QRC_Res_Common.cpp compile will get only these flags:  /Gd /TP /wd4100 /wd4101 /wd4189 /wd4127 /wd4018 /wd4189 /wd4100 /wd4309 /wd4189 /wd4577 /wd4467

 

Missing flags : -Zc:rvalueCast -Zc:inline -Zc:strictStrings -Zc:throwingNew -Zc:referenceBinding -Zc:__cplusplus

 

I guess they are introduced automatically from the msbuild for the 'native' source files and not for this resource cpp which was probably created from the qt resource compiler.
