Hmm. We have the (allegedly) same VS version in Cirrus CI, and it's
never shown a problem like this.
CI uses the latest VS 2019 (v16.11.48), it looks like buildfarm member
drongo uses VS 2019 v16.3.1. I created a custom Windows VM with the
same VS 2019 version (v16.3.1) at the drongo and CI failed with the
same error [1].
Huh. Can we trawl the release notes for VS and see if this was
acknowledged as a bug fix, and if so when did it happen? I think
whether we can say "get a newer compiler" depends in part on how
long it's been fixed.
I tried doing that now, but didn't find anything fitting.
But this one [0] seems to indicate you might need at least 16.5 for this.
Also, there is the support timeline [1] that shows that anything older
than 16.11.* is way out of support.
