Build failure on Windows with MSVC \ capstone_static.vcxproj
Hi, it seems like the build on Windows is broken. I just tried to compile \capstone-next\msvc\capstone_static\capstone_static.vcxproj with Visual Studio Community 2019 using the provided MSVC project (as I always do), but this time I'm getting a bunch of errors.

I'll fix those with the LLVM 18 update. Until than, please disable the warnings. It doesn't have an impact on the disassembly quality.

Thanks, I disable the errors (Project / Properties / C/C++ / General / SDL Checks - No) and capstone_static build succeeded. However, when I attempted to build capstone_dll immediately after, it failed with other issues

any idea what could be the issue here?
Actually, I wasn't aware of the msvc dir. Can you use the cmake to generate it again?
It should work like this (sorry, can't test it myself, because I currently don't have a Windows VM set up to check it quickly).

thx I tried it, but capstone_dll is not in CMakePredefinedTargets (or I don't know how to create/add it). Only capstone_static (.lib) and tests (/tests*/cstool) will be created. Anyway, for now, I took an older Capstone-5 version, MSVC was working there.
