Yes, people should be discouraged from using MSVC2012 locally. Please
note that:
a) It is impractical for Mozilla to test every single toolchain that
every single developer out there uses. If you want any kind of
guarantee that your builds will keep working, you should use MSVC2013
on trunk and MSVC2010 on older versions than 37.
b) MSVC2012 has *never* been a supported compiler in the second sense,
and we have never used it on our infra (except for a short while for
testing unofficial Win64 builds, and I believe that is no longer the
case.)
This is news to me. I've been using VS2012 since I started at Mozilla in
Sept 2013, so I was a bit dismayed to have my build on windows break on
returning from Xmas/NY break.
Ehsan, do you have any guidance on the version of VS2013 we should be
using locally? I have successful built trunk after installing VS2013
Community, for which its documentation states: "An unlimited number of
users within an organization can use Visual Studio Community for the
following scenarios: [...] contributing to open source projects."
thanks
