When the following program is compiled with /Zg switch to generate
function declarations from function definitions, an incorrect function
declaration for function X is generated. Part of the output that /Zg
produces is the following:

extern int x(void(_interrurt far *r)());

The word "interrupt" is misspelled.

The correct function declaration should be the following:

extern int x(void (interrupt far *r)());

To work around the problem, use an editor to correct the misspelling
in the output file.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Version 5.10. We are
researching this problem and will post new information as it becomes
available.

A program example that demonstrates this problem is the following:

main()
{
}

x(r)
void (far interrupt *r)();
{
}
