Steps to reproduce issue
Create a minimal ros2 project
with the following cpp file
#include "rclcpp/rclcpp.hpp"
int main() {
return 0;
}
the follwing CMakeLists.txt
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.18)
project(test1)
set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 17)
set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD_REQUIRED ON)
find_package(ament_cmake REQUIRED)
find_package(rclcpp REQUIRED)
add_executable(test1 test.cpp)
target_compile_options(test1 PUBLIC /permissive-)
ament_target_dependencies(test1 rclcpp)
ament_package()
the following package.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?xml-model href="http://download.ros.org/schema/package_format3.xsd" schematypens="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"?>

Expected behavior
Configure the cmake project and build correctly with MSVC C++ conformance flag on "/permissive-"
Actual behavior
Fails to build with the following error due to MSVC C++ conformance flag.
C:\ros2\ros2-windows\include\rclcpp\rclcpp/service.hpp(320): error C2039: 'type': is not a member of 'std'
Additional information
I believe this is due to some expected non standard conforming behavior in the template from the expanded macro RCLCPP_ERROR. I can get it to build when I pass /Zc:twoPhase- which re enables non standard conforming two-phase name lookup. This link contains some of Microsoft's docs on the /permissive- flag https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/build/reference/permissive-standards-conformance?view=msvc-170
I came across this issue trying to build with Qt6 on windows. The Qt6 cmake target adds the /permissive- flag to the compile options. My current temporary fix is to add /Zc:twoPhase- to any target requiring rclcpp, but I'd like to understand why MSVC doesn't like the RCLCPP_ERROR macro.
