That change was done in EPICS base 3.14.10 in 2008.  We have certainly built a lot on Windows since then!

The question is what version of Visual Studio is Amit using?  He did not tell us that in the original post.  I have used Visual Studio 2008 and 2010 to compile base since 2008 and have not had this problem.  I suspect that Amit is using a more recent version of Visual Studio?

In that case the volatile needs to be removed for the delete, because it
seems that the compiler thinks that there is no delete operator for
arrays of volatiles and implicitly converting volatile away is
considered impossible.

I just see that this is not a problem with vxWorks 6.9 but with the
Windows host build.

Eric, have you tested your change with Windows?
