The error below is from "Compilation-Error Messages" in the
"Microsoft C Optimizing Compiler User's Guide," Section E.3.2, Page
268. It is not documented in either the "Microsoft QuickC Compiler
Programmer's Guide," or in the README.DOC file, for the Microsoft
QuickC Compiler Versions 1.00 and 1.01.

The following is the error:

C2170       identifier : intrinsic not declared as a function

        You tried to use the intrinsic pragma for an item other
            than a function, or for a function that does not have an
            intrinsic form. (The section titled "Generating Intrinsic
            Functions" in Section 3.3.15 lists the functions that have
            intrinsic forms.)

The section reference given in the error explanation is wrong. It is
found in Section 3.3.13.1 beginning on Page 93 of the "Microsoft C
Optimizing Compiler User's Guide."

When the compiler encounters any of the errors listed in this section,
it continues parsing the program (if possible) and outputs additional
error messages. However, no object file is produced.
