Internal compiler error in SimpleITK while building Slicer with latest VS2015 compiler

Development

I’ve recently updated my VS2015 compiler (used in VS2017 IDE) to “Microsoft ® Build Engine version 15.8.168+ga8fba1ebd7 for .NET Framework”. With this compiler, I often get compiler crash while trying to build SimpleITK’s sitkScalarConnectedComponentImageFilter:

  sitkScalarConnectedComponentImageFilter.cxx

c:\d\s4r\itkv4\modules\segmentation\connectedcomponents\include\itkconnectedcomponentfunctorimagefilter.hxx(41): fatal error C1001: An internal error has occurred in the compiler. [C:\D\S4R\SimpleITK-build\SimpleITK-build\Code\BasicFilters\src\SimpleITK_ITKConnectedComponents.vcxproj] [C:\D\S4R\SimpleITK-build\SimpleITK.vcxproj] [C:\D\S4R\SimpleITK.vcxproj]
 
      (compiler file 'msc1.cpp', line 1518)
 
       To work around this problem, try simplifying or changing the program near the locations listed above.

I’ve never had this problem on other computers with VS2017 IDE / VS2015 toolset version “Microsoft ® Build Engine version 15.7.180.61344 for .NET Framework”.

Has anyone else come across this issue?

@blowekamp do you have any suggestion?
