The information in this article applies to:
- The C/C++ Compiler (CL.EXE), used with:
- Microsoft Visual C++, 32-bit Enterprise Edition, version 5.0sp3
- Microsoft Visual C++, 32-bit Professional Edition, version 5.0sp3
- Microsoft Visual Studio 97sp3
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SYMPTOMS
========
If you are using a third-party Standard Template Library (STL) (such as the
Hewlett-Packard implementation), and compile after applying Visual Studio 97
Service Pack 3, the following error may be generated:
testerr.cpp bstring.h(2322) : fatal error C1001: INTERNAL COMPILER ERROR
(compiler file 'E:\utc\src\\P2\main.c', line 379)
Please choose the Technical Support command on the Visual C++ Help menu, or
open the Technical Support help file for more Information.
RESOLUTION
==========
The following are suggested workarounds:
- Separate the construction and return of a temporary object. In the example
below, replace the return statement with the respective commented
statements:
if (length())
{
return basic_string<charT>(data()+pos, (n > (length()-pos)) ?
(length()-pos) : n);
//basic_string<charT> bt(data()+pos, (n > (length()-pos)) ?
// (length()-pos) : n);
//return bt;
}
else
{
return basic_string<charT>();// C1001 on this line
// basic_string<charT> bt;
// return bt;
}
}
- Use Visual Studio 97 SP2.
- Instead of using the Hewlett-Packard STL, use the STL provided in Visual C++
5.0. See any STL sample in the Visual C++ Online documentation for usage
information. You may also read the comprehensive information provided on the
Web at: http://www.microsoft.com/visualc/stl.
STATUS
