ICU (which provides Intl) failed under VS2015 in the same way and for the same reason as openssl in #478. Should we try to workaround?

I already committed a fix to IcuBug:11689, scheduled for release in a couple of months with ICU 56. If we hit this issue earlier, it looks like we could just pull a copy of ufile.c from ICU trunk on top of the downloaded ICU.

Just filing this for reference.

argh, 2015 is live now, it'd be a shame to have this as the only blocker.

is it possible to say something like "to build with VS2015 you must disable icu completely" or is it broken no matter how we look at it?

This is true at the moment. Sorry, I missed the scope of this issue before.

Working on a repro. Is the icu lib itself that fails to build or does it fail at link time? We could change the download process to overwrite ufile.c from with a version from trunk (but at that point it would be better to commit it in our repo somewhere), or we could hack-define those missing functions somewhere else either in node or with an additional file for the icu library.

Getting this error:

..\..\deps\icu\source\io\ufile.c(70): error C2109: subscript requires array or
pointer type

..which is at compile time, so my idea of defining the missing functions somewhere else won't help.

We should probably hack the build to use a different version of ufile.c then.

@orangemocha yes, that's the error. The particular function gets treated as "undefined assuming function returning int", and then somehow has a problem subscripting an int.

I/we/you can snag the ufile.c from basically here and overwrite it in the situation of variables.icu_ver_major < 56 and optionally && MSVC 2015 or just MSVC. I think this ufile.c will work for ICU 54 and 55. And it's already checked in to the 56 stream.

@orangemocha thanks for the discussion. I will open a PR here for a workaround.

The particular ufile.c is from

Also, adds general mechanism for floating patches on top of ICU.
