Hello,

after converting my managed c++ project from VS2015 to VS2017 I get an internal compiler error. I tried to create a minimal example to reproduce the error:

public interface class IBaseInterface
{
public:
enum class EnumType
{
EnumValue1,
EnumValue2
};
};

public ref class Derived : IBaseInterface
{
public:
property IBaseInterface::EnumType EnumType;
};

I use the version

Microsoft Visual Studio Enterprise 2017
Version 15.8.7
VisualStudio.15.Release/15.8.7+28010.2046

The code compiled in VS 2015 without any problems

It seems, the new c++ compiler has a problem if a property has the same name as its type. If I rename either the enum or the property, the code is compiling. But as this code is part of a library which is used in several other projects, I don't want to force the users of this library to change their code by changing a public identifier.

Is there a possibility to make this code compile (some kind of compatibility mode) without changing the name of the enum or the property.

Regards

Göran
