[vtk-developers] Python Wrapping fails in master build.

I haven’t seen such an issue in the last couple of years.

We are building 3D Slicer every night on several computers from scratch. It includes full VTK (few-week-old master) and many VTK-based Python-wrapped classes. We use Windows10, VS2015 (or VS2017 with VS2015 toolset). We use Visual Studio generator, don’t use Ninja.

One could instead write to a temporary/random file name and then
rename when finished.  CMake generates most of its files that way.

Thanks for the advice (and for taking the time to read this thread.)  This may
be the ultimate solution, though I still want to do some digging to see what
what magic cl.exe itself uses to avoid this AV interference.

For now, though, I'll put together a patch that prints the value of errno when
fopen() fails.  I'll probably print the result of GetLastError() too, since this is
a Windows issue.  Hopefully Andrew will be able to see those and report on
them.

Andras, you used to see similar errors with cmake when it was configuring,
so I have to ask, have you seen vtkWrapPython itself fail this way?  I'm still
trying to get a feel for how widespread this issue is.
