Hi,
I have a legacy project and we are upgrading the project's IDE from vs2003 to 2019.
it is a long jump. I am having a problem, which is a bottleneck for the delivery.
Problem:
Error C2504 'CLifetimeCuller': base class undefined
Based on the investigation, I found that the CLifetimeCuller class was declared in atlcache.h file, and this file has been removed from vs2008.
I am having a lot of errors due to not having atlcache.h file in vs2019. Could somebody suggest to me how I can resolve the error?
The atlcache.h file was a part of the ancient ATLServer that was released to the public many years ago by Microsoft which ceased maintaining it.
An internet search found a copy of that file at https://github.com/gabegundy/atlserver/blob/master/include/atlcache.h
You will need to determine if that copy (and any other old ATLServer files) can be successfully used with VS2019.
Also, see https://devblogs.microsoft.com/cppblog/atl-server-visual-c-shared-source-software/
@RLWA32 Thanks for your response. let me give it a try
@Praveer Kumar (pkumar) Any updates?
Hi @RLWA32
Thanks for asking. Unfortunately,
You will need to determine if that copy (and any other old ATLServer files) can be successfully used with VS2019.
all the URL links are deprecated too
@RLWA32 I also tried to copy files from **C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Vc7\atlmfc** to **C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Enterprise\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.27.29110** and was trying to do some changes , but it seems be to super expensive and gets a lot of unseen errors
@Praveer Kumar (pkumar) Well, I answered your question about the missing atlcache.h file.
If the ATLServer code from so many years ago is problematic with modern compilers that is a different issue.
Its also not clear to me if you are still looking for ATLServer files or if you have managed to obtain them from your own sources.
@Praveer Kumar (pkumar) Just checking to see if anything is new here.
