how to build 64bit xapian using MSVC2017?

[李澍]

 Hi, Olly:
  I post the error in the attachment, any methods to fix it?
  Run the command (.\lemon.exe -q -oqueryparser_internal.cc -hqueryparser_token.h queryparser.lemony) will get the error.
 
  If it is hard to fix, I will upgrade xapian to 1.4. But I worry it will cost me too much time to modify my application code.

  Thanks a lot.

Here is the error details:

lemon.c:

#define LISTSIZE 30
static char *msort(
  char *list,
  char **next,
  int (*cmp)(const char*,const char*)
){
  unsigned long offset;
  char *ep;
  char *set[LISTSIZE];
  int i;
  offset = (unsigned long)next - (unsigned long)list;
  for(i=0; i<LISTSIZE; i++) set[i] = 0;
  while( list ){
    ep = list;
    list = NEXT(list);
    NEXT(ep) = 0;
 for(i=0; i<LISTSIZE-1 && set[i]!=0; i++){
      ep = merge(ep,set[i],cmp,offset);
      set[i] = 0;
    }
    set[i] = ep;
  }

throw exception in 'for(i=0; i<LISTSIZE-1 && set[i]!=0; i++)'

unhandled exception at 0x00007FF75873AA1A (in lemon.exe ): 0xC0000005: read position 0x00000000329EBB90 access conflict
