Bug with moc parsing of Include directories
-
Trying to build my project after adding QWinWidget, I'm getting a nastygram out of moc which I suspect may be a result of directory names in the include path that contain spaces:
10>moc qwinwidget.h
10> moc: Too many input files specified: 'D:\Users\amonra\Documents\GitHub\DSS\DeepSkyStacker\qwinwidget.h' 'Files' '(x86)\Visual' 'Leak' 'Detector\include'My VS2017 C++ Additional Include directories is set to:
.\GeneratedFiles$(ConfigurationName);.\GeneratedFiles;"C:\Program Files (x86)\Visual Leak Detector\include";.;../Libraw;..\ZClass;..\tools;..\LibTIFF;..\CFitsIO;..\Zlib;%(AdditionalIncludeDirectories)
and the moc settings in VS project properties are set like this:
It worked OK when I changed the Additional Include directories to read:
.\GeneratedFiles$(ConfigurationName);.\GeneratedFiles;C:\PROGRA~2\VISUAL~2\include;.;../Libraw;..\ZClass;..\tools;..\LibTIFF;..\CFitsIO;..\Zlib;%(AdditionalIncludeDirectories)
So that does rather confirm the problem. Sadly though that is not a good fix, because the 8.3 short name for the directory isn't portable to the systems other members of the project team.
I suppose I could create a symlink for it but I'm not happy with that either.
PS Yes, I do know VLD is less useful with Qt than it could be because of all the global objects Qt creates but ...
Any chance of a fix for 5.12.8 release?
Thanks, David

I managed to work around the problem.
The original string for that directory was quoted in the Addtional Include directories.
I found that just inserting C:\Program Files (x86)\Visual Leak Detector\include into the setting for that without using quotes worked OK - that is:
.\GeneratedFiles$(ConfigurationName);.\GeneratedFiles;C:\Program Files (x86)\Visual Leak Detector\include;.;../Libraw;..\ZClass;..\tools;..\LibTIFF;..\CFitsIO;..\Zlib;%(AdditionalIncludeDirectories)
I still think that there's some sort of bug there (either in moc or in QT VS Tools).

Hi,
You might want to check the bug report system to see if there's something related there.
