VS2015 LINK : fatal error LNK1000: Internal error during IMAGE::BuildImage

Question

I'm trying to build a C++ application with Visual Studio Communnity 2015.

I can build it in Debug mode without errors, but in Release mode I get this error:

1>LINK : fatal error LNK1000: Internal error during IMAGE::BuildImage

1>    Dr2    = 00000000  Dr7    = 00000000

After a web search I've found this error in other Visual Studio versions (e.g. 2008 and 2010), caused by a bug in VS and I've found the hotfix for those versions. Unfortunately I didn't found a hotfix for Visual Studio 2015.

How can I solve this problem?

Thank you

Hi,

Thank you for posting your code.

I have tested your code. I can reproduce your issue.

Accordingtoyour description. You can repair your issue on other Visual Studio versions. But on vs 2015 version you can’t deal the issue. You can post the issue on connect.

Hello, I have a similar issue.  The solution compiles without issue in Debug build however so the problem may be some link or compiler parameter?

Edit: yes to my question above: changing the "Link Time Code Generation" to "Default" instead of  "/LTCG" does allow the link to complete without error.

Whether or not it is relevant to the code of the original poster, I ran into this same error on Visual Studio 2015, and it was a one line of code difference.

     std::stringstream ss; 

I added this single line to my existing .cpp code, and it complied and linked under DEBUG

But when I build for Release, it complies, but throws 3 LINK errors

Error C1001 An internal error has occurred in the compiler.
