clang diagnostic error: definition of builtin function

See original GitHub issue

When using CPT on a file that eventually includes winnt.h (e.g. by including MFC-Header afxmt.h), I get the following errors

Error while processing C:\foo.cpp.

I am not sure if these have anything to do with CPT or my individual setup.

I am using

  • Visual Studio 2022 (17.5.0)
  • CPT 2023.2.1
  • LLVM 15.0.7
  • Windows SDK 8.1

Any ideas what is going wrong here or how to trace down this issue further?

Hi @mariru27,

thank you for looking into this and implementing a fix.

Unfortunately it seems that it wasn’t the root cause for the ‘definition of builtin function’ problem. I checked it with the v140 toolset and also with the v143 toolset (since we upgraded in the meantime).

Running the command invoked by CPT manually produces the same result.

I did some tests and it seems the problem only occurs when compiling for 32 bit using the Win SDK 8.1 (we are already working on upgrading the SDK version).

Hi @MarcelNehring,

You can update Clang Power Tools to v2023.5.0

Thank you for your help, means a lot for our product

Have a nice day, Marina
