The program below generates the following error when compiled with the
default command line options under the Microsoft C Optimizing Compiler
Version 5.10:

   func.c(11) : fatal error C1001: Internal Compiler Error
                   (compiler file '@(#)grammar.c:1.29', line 108)

Compiling the following program demonstrates the error:

#include <stdio.h>

double fctn( void )
{;}

double( *call[] )( void ) = { fctn };

void main( void )
{
    printf("%lf\n", call[0]() );
}

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information as
it becomes available.

To eliminate the problem, the printf() statement can be broken up into
two statements, thereby making the function call and assigning it to a
temporary double variable in one statement, then printing that
variable in a second statement. The following code exemplifies this:

#include <stdio.h>

double fctn( void )
{;}

double( *call[] )( void ) = { fctn };

void main( void )
{
    double temp;

    temp = call[0]();
    printf("%lf\n", temp );
}
