I am writing a python extension and trying to compile c++ code and link against arrow library on windows platform. (Using visual studio 2017) and compilation failed. {code:text} building 'snowflake.connector.arrow_iterator' extension C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.16.27023\bin\HostX86\x64\cl.exe /c /nologo /Ox /W3 /GL /DNDEBUG /MD -Icpp/ArrowIterator/ -Ic:\Users\Haowei\py36env\lib\site-packages\pyarrow\include -IC:\Users\Haowei\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36\include -IC:\Users\Haowei\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36\include "-IC:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.16.27023\ATLMFC\include" "-IC:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.16.27023\include" "-IC:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\NETFXSDK\4.6.1\include\um" "-IC:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\include\10.0.17763.0\ucrt" "-IC:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\include\10.0.17763.0\shared" "-IC:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\include\10.0.17763.0\um" "-IC:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\include\10.0.17763.0\winrt" "-IC:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\include\10.0.17763.0\cppwinrt" /EHsc /Tpbuild\cython\arrow_iterator.cpp /Fobuild\temp.win-amd64-3.6\Release\build\cython\arrow_iterator.obj -std=c++11 cl : Command line warning D9002 : ignoring unknown option '-std=c++11' arrow_iterator.cpp c:\Users\Haowei\py36env\lib\site-packages\pyarrow\include\arrow/type.h(852): error C2528: '__timezone': pointer to reference is illegal c:\Users\Haowei\py36env\lib\site-packages\pyarrow\include\arrow/type.h(859): error C2269: cannot create a pointer or reference to a qualified function type (requires pointer-to-member) c:\Users\Haowei\py36env\lib\site-packages\pyarrow\include\arrow/type.h(853): error C2664: 'std::basic_string<char,std::char_traits<char>,std::allocator<char>>::basic_string(const std::basic_string<char,std::char_traits<char>,std::allocator<char>> &)': cannot convert argument 1 from 'const std::string *' to 'std::initializer_list<_Elem>' with [ _Elem=char ] c:\Users\Haowei\py36env\lib\site-packages\pyarrow\include\arrow/type.h(852): note: No constructor could take the source type, or constructor overload resolution was ambiguous c:\Users\Haowei\py36env\lib\site-packages\pyarrow\include\arrow/type.h(859): error C2440: 'return': cannot convert from 'std::string' to 'const std::string *(__cdecl *)(void)' c:\Users\Haowei\py36env\lib\site-packages\pyarrow\include\arrow/type.h(859): note: No user-defined-conversion operator available that can perform this conversion, or the operator cannot be called c:\Users\Haowei\py36env\lib\site-packages\pyarrow\include\arrow/type.h(1126): error C2528: '__timezone': pointer to reference is illegal error: command 'C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft Visual Studio\\2017\\Community\\VC\\Tools\\MSVC\\14.16.27023\\bin\\HostX86\\x64\\cl.exe' failed with exit status 2 {code} I googled a little bit and found similar issue in feather repo. https://github.com/wesm/feather/issues/111 So I did something similar to their fix: Adding following code to the type.h header file (according to https://github.com/wesm/feather/pull/146/files) {code:c++} #if _MSC_VER >= 1900 #undef timezone #endif {code} Not sure if this is the right way to fix it. If yes, I can submit a PR. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.14#76016)
