fatal error C1001: INTERNAL COMPILER ERROR

[kvarada]

Hello Experts,

I am building my application on WinNT.4.0_i386_MSVC.7.1 platform. When I build the application on a stand alone machine, it builds fine. But when I build the same application from a linux box using rsh it gives me the errors below

I tried to search msc1.cpp file in the compiler installation directory but couldn't find it.
I would greatly appreciate if you provide some resolution for this.

Thanks,
Varada

Am not sure how much this reply would help. But I got a similar error, while building with VC5 'cl' compiler. The error was something like this:

cl : C1001: INTERNAL COMPILER ERROR compiler file 'E:\utc\src\\P2\main.c', line 379

This is a known bug in 'cl' and is documented at Microsoft's site:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/166718

This error is probably fixed in VC7. To resolve this, if you don't want to change the code (as recommended in Microsoft site), try reducing optimization level to "Od" or "O1".

HTH,
Ashish.
