Syzygy probing code and Visual Studio

[dannyb]

I'd like to make my little engine probe the Syzygy bases and I've adapted the probing code found in Cfish (I guess it's the most updated one coming from Ronald supporting 7 pieces) but I can't compile it with Visual Studio 2017 because it is not compliant with the C11 standard revision and the probing code uses atomic operations. Is there a solution besides changing compiler? (though I would like to stick with Visual Studio). Thanks and happy new year!

Have you tried to compile the probing code as C++? I guess the few necessary code changes might be done easier than finding a correct replacement for the non-existent "atomic" stuff.

I think you can use Clang as your compiler while keeping Visual Studio as your IDE.

I got some errors when trying to compile it as C++ code. I've solved the problem by installing Clang. I can now compile without any issue.

Thank you.
