I'm just posting this here in case someone else has a similar issue. When attempting to build Ogre on Visual Studio 2019 16.1.1 I am getting errors such as:

It seems to happen after encountering type conversion warnings. Searching for similar errors on the web I found similar reports of crashing when the compiler find things such as the returned type not being exactly the same as the type in the function declaration.

Anyways, the solution was to install Visual Studio 2017 and it's now building everything.

I'm interested in switching to Visual Studio 2019 myself. Could you please warn me if/when this issue will be solved by a future update?
Thanks!

MSVC 2017 is working for me for now so I don't see reason to worry about MSVC 2019. I might post updates in case it stops crashing in the future.

xissburg (OP), does it also happen when Optimization is turn off?

------

After I tried to make my old Ogre projects runable again, I find some problems with VS2019.

1. NULL undefined in Remotery.c
I solved it by adding #include <stdio.h> near the first line.

2. Then, I got TLS_OUT_OF_INDEXES undefined in Remotery.c
I solved it by adding #include <processthreadsapi.h> near the first line.

3. There are other few places e.g. interlockedapi.h. It is also about xxx undefined. Too lazy to fix.

Some issues are caused by my uninstallation of VS2017. They can be solved by repair VS2019.
However, some are persist. The problematic project is mostly Remotery.
I think Remotery uses deprecated Visual C++ feature.

From a rough search, some variables are in some files in C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.1,
but not in Windows Kits\10.0.

From statistic, most Ogre issues in my computer are caused by me though.

Finally, MSVC 2019 16.2.0 (latest update) successfully compile Ogre with some changes.
The generated default solution from CMAKE will produce this errors:

Disable precompiled header from OgreMain will solve this issue.
Looks like this is caused by recursive #include.
Nothing wrong with the code, it just buggy compiler.
