RE: asyn 4-35 does not compile on Windows 10 (VS 2019)

["Gofron, Kazimierz via Tech-talk" <tech-talk@aps.anl.gov>]

Hi,
I should have been more specific. This seem to be isolated to newest version 16.04 of the Visual Studio, and thanks for all the responses.

Visual Studio Community Edition version 16.04
EPICS Base: 7.0.2.2
make 4.2.1

It compiles fine on VS2015 (and VS2017 I believe)

Hi,

I am having problems compiling asyn 4-35 (and current version of master) on Windows 10 with Visual Studio 2019 Community Edition. Problem is specific to windows since asyn-4-35 compiles on debian 7/8/9 and ubuntu 18.
