1082033 - VisualStudio does not compile project using jsapi.h (c2063 on JSVAL_TO_IMPL)

Status: UNCONFIRMED

(Core :: JavaScript Engine, defect)

Description

[u520299]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.9; rv:32.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/32.0
Build ID: 20140923175406

Steps to reproduce:

1. Build SpiderMonkey24 from source on Windows 7 using the mozilla-build environment (using a clean VisualStudio 2013 setup as suggested by build instructions).
2. Include jsapi.h into a new VisualStudio 2013 project.
3. Hit "Compile".






Actual results:

Compiler error:
"c:\...\XYZ.vcxproj" (default target) (1) ->
(ClCompile target) -> 
  c:\...\spidermonkey\include\js\value.h(1338): error C2063: 'JSVAL_TO_IMPL' : not a function [c:\…\XYZ.vcxproj]


Expected results:

Successful compilation.

Dirty(?) workaround: 
Removing double-colon (global namespace specifier) before JSVAL_TO_IMPL (line 1338) led to successful compilation.

You should check out SpiderMonkey 31 RC, we are not going to fix anything in SM 24 at this point.

Submitted to soon: Thank you for reporting this problem! I might have missunderstood something, are you actually trying to use SpiderMonkey for embedding?

Yes, indeed. We want to embed it into our application. Thanks for your prompt reply.
