SYMPTOMS
When you initialize an array of a user-defined type using an include file (see the example in this article), the compiler generates this error:

fatal error C1001: INTERNAL COMPILER ERROR

(compiler file 'msc1.cpp', line 899)



RESOLUTION
There are two workarounds as described below.
 * Add a comma after the last element in the include file. -or-


 * Compile the .cpp file with the /P compiler option. This generates a file with a .i extension using the same base name as the .cpp file. Rename the file so that it has a .cpp extension, and compile it, or simply compile the .i file using the /Tp compiler option.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. This bug was corrected in Visual C++ version 5.0.



Sample Code
.cpp File -

// To reproduce the error, compile options needed: none // Define WORKAROUND to use workaround #1

struct CMemTblMgr { CMemTblMgr(int); ~CMemTblMgr(void); };

CMemTblMgr sm_mgrLst[] = { #include "CMEMTABL.INC" };

Cmemtabl.inc File -

#ifndef WORKAROUND CMemTblMgr(1), CMemTblMgr(2)

#else CMemTblMgr(1), CMemTblMgr(2), #endif
