So this also happens for VS2019 build with toolset v142.

You can get the build to complete by adding "/FORCE:MULTIPLE" to the linker command line. TBD whether or not this causes issues in practice though.

In Modules\ThirdParty\TIFF\src\itktiff\tif_config.h.in:

/* MSVC does not support C99 inline, so just make the inline keyword disappear for C. */ #ifndef __cplusplus # ifdef _MSC_VER # define inline # endif

That was apparently necessary for an older version of MSVC, but causes this problem for the version I have (Visual Studio 17.10.4, cl.exe version 19.40.33812).

That define means __ucrt_int_to_float does not get inlined despite needing to be. That symbol ends up in three of the obj files (tif_aux.obj tif_color.obj tif_luv.obj) and I get a link warning when those three obj files are linked into itktiff-5.4.lib, but that link succeeds. Then when a later step tries to link into an exe (itkTestDriver) it chokes.

I think those lines should just be removed, because it's not good to redefine a language keyword, and people should probably not be using such an old version of MSVC, and at least they should get a clear error message if they are.

Another possible fix is to change the ifdef to something like: # if defined(_MSC_VER) && _MSC_VER < 1900

(But I had trouble confirming the version of MSVC that added inline keyword support for C.)

@blowekamp @issakomi @seanm is anyone brave enough to update bundled version of TIFF? It seems like we have some very old version of it.

[blowekamp]

@dzenanz I looked into it, and yes we do. It looks like there is CMake infrastructure in the new libtiff. It also looks like VTK is maintaining a forked repo version of libtiff. Seems like there should be more knowledge around what is needed to be done to update it than what I have.
