[bug]Vc7\include\yva ls.h(18) : fatal error C1017: invalid integer constant expression

The following code snippet can be build in VC 6.0, but failed in VC 2003.
//////////////save the following code in t.cpp

I use the following file to build this cpp file
call "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\Bin \VCVARS32.BAT"
cl /TP "C:\Temp\t. cpp"
del "C:\Temp\t. obj"
pause

call "D:\Apps\vs2003 \Vc7\bin\vcvars 32.bat"
cl /TP "C:\Temp\t. cpp"
del "C:\Temp\t. obj"
pause

Failed how, what's the error?

You shouldn't define _MT. Use the compiler switches /MT(d) ot /MDd

I don't have a copy of VC 7.1 here. But I guess the MS DW config
header yvals.h defines _MULTI_THREAD as _MT or uses
an #if _MT.

The compiler will define _MT to 1.

The error message is in the caption.
I can paste it again.
D:\Apps\vs2003\ Vc7\include\yva ls.h(18) : fatal error C1017: invalid integer
constant expression

Is there someone who is willing to give a try?

I know how to set the compiler options, but I want to compile the file in
command line.
In fact I wrote a shell extension to build a single CPP file with VC6/VC7.
So I want to avoid creating a project for a single CPP file.

Holger obviously had and suggested that you don't define _MT in your
source code. It compiles OK if you do as he suggested or if you change
your code to:

#define _MT 1

OK, #define _MT 1 works happily.
It is my problem that "I don't have a copy of VC 7.1 here." stopped me from
further thinking.
Thank you all.
