vcpkg.exe crashes while building opencv 4.5.5 / quirc 1.1#2 package

[Arech]

Describe the bug
Current latest (and other few days old commit) vcpkg.exe crashes while building opencv / quirc package. About year old checkout of e809a42 works though.

(while I was writing this bug report a new commit has been pushed that bumped vcpkg version to Version=2023-03-01-538539c4e364dd6f14f5e36f6704144254845159, but still the result is the same for the same package:

Environment

• OS: Windows 10 21H2 build 19044.2604
• Compiler: Latest MSVC 2022 v17.5.1

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. checkout the latest master (current latest is 8daf70c but the error happens with a several days ago commit also)
2. run bootstrap-vcpkg.bat
3. vcpkg.json of the project is:

{
  "$schema": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/microsoft/vcpkg/master/scripts/vcpkg.schema.json",
  "name": "project",
  "version": "0.0.1",
  "builtin-baseline": "5962cf5a3bfc2124e8de991a4e45a8edcb3b4c69",
  "dependencies": [
    {"name": "benchmark", "version>=": "1.6.0"},
    {"name":"gtest",      "version>=": "1.11.0#3", "platform": "windows"},
    {"name":"ms-gsl",     "version>=": "4.0.0", "platform": "windows"},
    {"name":"opencv4",    "version>=": "4.5.5", "platform": "windows"},
    {"name":"pybind11",   "version>=": "2.9.1", "platform": "windows"},
    {"name":"glfw3",      "version>=": "3.3.6", "platform": "windows"}
  ]
}

4. try to build dummy CMake project with vcpkg.json above. Perhaps vcpkg install opencv4 of version "4.5.5" from the baseline should also do
5. See error

Expected behavior
Checkout old e809a42 and do the steps above - everything works fine.

Failure logs
see above, there's nothing in the log file that isn't above.

@Arech I can't repro this issue locally. Could you please try the solution in #22163 (comment)?

[Arech]

@Adela0814 thank you, I will try. We have a bunch of people in the company, who also run into this issue, but I can't share the project that spawns it... I'll try your suggested solution and get back to you with the results. If that won't help, I'll try to make a minimal working failing example and will post it. Thanks for taking care!

[Arech]

I looked at the proposed solution and... erm, I'm not using GCC at all for this. It's MSVC@Windows10. I might be slightly wrong (config might be a bit different, I need to check it), but afair that project that fails with MSVC@Windows10 compiles nicely on Ubuntu 20.04 with native gcc. Also out of several projects that use vcpkg ports from official repo, only this one fails; all the others works perfectly fine.
I read all other messages in the thread and, honestly, I just don't see how it's applicable to my case...
I'll try to come up with a minimal failing example.

It looks like that latest master already contains some resolution of the issue. Now it also works for me:

It spawns some warnings and 1 post-build check problem, but nonetheless it works which is great news to me! :)

Closing the issue as resolved.
