SYMPTOMS
When you try to use a typedef class name defined local to another class, the following internal compiler error occurs:

   C:\code\cust2\Test.cpp(20) : fatal error C1001: INTERNAL COMPILER ERROR (compiler file 'msc1.cpp', line 1089) Please choose the Technical Support command on the Visual C++ Help menu, or open the Technical Support help file for more information



RESOLUTION
Declare the typedef statement outside class scope to resolve this problem.



STATUS
