PostSharp OutOfMemoryException during Visual Studio build

I'm using the latest version of PostSharp (version 4.1.31.0) in a C# solution with Visual Studio 2015 (with update 1).

Everytime I try to build the solution I get the following error:

Unhandled exception (4.1.31.0, postsharp.srv.4.0-x86.exe, CLR 4.0.30319.394271, Release): System.OutOfMemoryException: Exception of type 'System.OutOfMemoryException' was thrown.

I've switched on detailed output when building but haven't been able to spot anything in the output so far!

I have other solutions that work fine with this version so I suspect it is something to do with the solution's configuration.

As an aside, I have also tried version 4.1.30 and get exactly the same error.

Any help or advice on where to look would be greatly appreciated.

Had the same issue, PostSharp crashing at compile time:

Solved it by killing the process PostSharp Compile service (something like this) from the task manager.

So to solve my issue all I had to do was to set the PostSharp 'Processor Architecture' option in the project properties to x64 for the project that includes my aspects.

PostSharp architecture settings

I'm not exactly sure why but my application builds and runs without issues.
