SYMPTOMS
When template classes or template class header files are
included in a precompiled header file, the compiler may generate the following
error for files that use the precompiled header:
fatal
error C1001: INTERNAL COMPILER ERROR
(compiler file 'msc1.cpp', line 1786)
fatal error C1001: INTERNAL COMPILER
ERROR
(compiler file 'msc1.cpp', line 1188)
This error occurs
only on machines with the Windows 95 or Windows 98 operating system.
CAUSE
The compiler exceeds the allocated memory limit.
RESOLUTION
Use one of the following three suggested workarounds:
- Use compiler switch /Zm#nn to increase the compiler's heap
memory allocation limit. The default value of #nn is 100 and the maximum value
is 2000. Manually add this switch in Developer Studio: under the Project menu,
click Setting, the click C/C++, then Project Options. Usually, a value of 1000
works.
NOTE: You may need to increase the system virtual memory to
accommodate the increased #nn for /Zm.
- Remove the template class header files from the precompiled
header file.
- Use "Automatic use of precompiled headers" (/YX switch),
or, "Not using precompiled header."
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a bug in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section.
This problem was corrected in Microsoft Visual C++
.NET.
