The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft C/C++ Compiler (CL.EXE), used with:
- *EDITOR Please do not choose this product*Microsoft Visual C++ 32-bit Edition* use 241, 265, 225, versions 4.0, 4.1, 4.2
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
