SYMPTOMS
Bad code is generated when you pass the return value of an intrinsic function as an argument to a function that takes a reference to an integer while using Global Optimizations (/Og) and Enable Intrinsic Functions (/Oi). In some situations, a C1001 compiler error occurs:
RESOLUTION
There are two workaround options:
- Workaround 1: Disable intrinsic optimizations. Add /Oi- to your compiler switches after any other switches that start with /O.
- Workaround 2: Use #pragma function to prevent the use of individual intrinsic functions.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a bug in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section. This bug was corrected in Visual Studio 6.0 Service Pack 3.

MORE INFORMATION
Steps to reproduce the behavior
Compile options: /Og /Oi or /O2
Workaround 1 compile options: /O2 /Oi-
#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>
int f(const int &a, const int &b) {
return a * b;
}
// uncomment for workaround #2 to disable the abs intrinsic
// #pragma function(abs)
int main() {
int x = -45, y = 2;
// The result of abs(), an intrinsic, gets passed to
// a fn that takes arg of type reference to int
printf("Result of f() is %i\n", f(abs(x), y));
return 0;
}
// uncomment for workaround #2 to re-enable the abs intrinsic
// #pragma intrinsic(abs)
