Q115853

1.50 WINDOWS kbtool kbbuglist ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The information in this article applies to: - The Microsoft C/C++ Compiler (CL.EXE), included with: - Microsoft Visual C++ for Windows, version 1.5 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- SYMPTOMS ======== Compiling the sample code shown below with the /G3 option causes the compiler to generate the following error message: fatal error C1001: internal compiler error (compiler file 'msc3.cpp', line 429) RESOLUTION ========== To avoid the C1001 error, do one of the following: 1. Do not compile with the /G3 option. -or- 2. Restructure the code to avoid the problem. The sample code below illustrates this technique. -or- 3. Try disabling all optimizations around the area that causes the error STATUS ====== Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed above. We are researching this bug and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available. This is not a problem in the 32-bit compilers. MORE INFORMATION ================ The following sample code can be used to demonstrate the problem. Sample Code ----------- /* Compile options needed: /G3 */ #include #define TRUE 1 #define FALSE 0 long double var_1 = 1.0; long double var_2 = 2.0; void main() { long double var_1_is_less; long double tmp; // This statement causes the C1001 error var_1_is_less = (__min( var_1 , var_2 ) == var_1); // Restructuring the code to something like the following // avoids the problem /* if(__min( var_1 , var_2 ) == var_1) var_1_is_less = TRUE; else var_1_is_less = FALSE; */ } Additional reference words: 1.50 8.00c KBCategory: kbtool kbbuglist KBSubcategory: CLIss
