JIRA issue: CORE-20617
@learn-more found #9157 breaks the build as follows:
> error C2220: the following warning is treated as an error
> warning C4163: 'strncmp': not available as an intrinsic function
> warning C4163: 'strncpy': not available as an intrinsic function
_MSC_VER=1932 was not the version that the intrinsic functions
(strncmp, strncpy, wcsncmp, wcsncpy) added.
Using Compiler Explorer could detect the correct version:
_MSC_VER=1950.
VS2022 version 17.2 and later (`_MSC_VER >= 1932`) added new intrinsic
functions (`strncmp`, `strncpy`, `wcsncmp`, and `wcsncpy`).
As we implement these ourselves, we have to avoid compiler error C2169.
This problem surfaced with a recent GitHub Actions update:
https://github.com/actions/runner-images/issues/14017
Use `#pragma function(...)` to disable new intrinsic functions.
GCC and Clang need to mark functions that use SSE/AVX etc, either with a function attribute or a pragma around the function. strlen uses a template function that either uses SSE2 or AVX2. Previously the template was surrounded with pragmas to allow both SSE2 and AVX2, but that makes GCC assume that it can use AVX2 instructions even in the SSE2 version. To fix this the template instances are now build in individual compilation units for SSE2 and AVX, separate from the "dispatcher" function.
Now ucrtbase doesn't crash anymore on GCC build.
Another issue was the namespace around strnlen_mode, which has confused clang so much, that it forgot to instantiate the template code.
On GCC the code using extended ISA cannot be inlined and must either be marked with a function attribute or compiled with the proper target options ('-mavx2' on the command line or '#pragma GCC target("avx2")' inside the code)
