A test case to reproduce error added in attachment.

Reproduced for:

• builds using Windows ICC,

not reproduced for:

• builds using mingw-w64 and MSVC.

Environment:

• Windows 10 x64,
• ICC 2018 Update 3,
• MSVC 2017 15.7.3,
• mingw-w64 x86_64 8.1.0,
• Windows SDK 10.0.17134.12,
• Qt5-dev-de191df84fbdf0f7ddaa2e5d5cb10d4a475a639f,
• QtCreator-dev-168e89e0a2bd475a4f4b7bf4aa6f207466e8a9bd.

Qt Developers believe it's a compiler bug.

ICC 2018 update 3 was built o May/21/2018 and MSVC 2017 15.7.3 was released on May/31/2018. Hence, it's possible that something changes in VS15.7.3 that ICC didn't know. If you used an older VS2017 (i.e. 15.6*), will you able to compile the file with MS compiler?

Thanks,

Hello, Viet,

Unfortunately I'm unable to revert to the earlier MSVC versions, because it would break many things.

But didn't you succeeded to reproduce error using provided testcase?

Best,

Alexander

No, I haven't yet tried the test case as I dont have the same setup as yours.

But rule of thumb is don't use MSVC version that releases after compiler released date. 

Regards,

Viet
