Unresolved external symbol __std_swap_ranges_trivially_swappable_noalias

[Astherix]

Hi there, I am a somewhat experienced C++ programmer, and I have never encountered such an error. What is this?

There is nothing on Google regarding "__std_swap_ranges_trivially_swappable_noalias".

The solution is: Update Visual Studio

Unfortunately libraries built with Visual Studio are apparently only forward compatible, so a library built with the latest Visual Studio version, won't work with one that's older. Kind of a shame, as I won't be installing an old toolchain, just so people don't have to upgrade.
Maybe this is just an issue, because of their minor release 15.7.x from 15.6.x, so hopefully the library will be stable under 15.7.x...
