The following sample code generates an internal compiler error
in the file grammar.c on Line 140 when compiled with optimizations
disabled (/Od), with global register optimization (/Oe), or with
loop optimization (/Ol). It will occur only under compact or large
model.

Sample Code
-----------

// #pragma optimize ( "t", on )  // Uncomment this to fix ICE

#define TOTAL_LEGS 12
#define TOTAL_PAGES 2

#include <memory.h>

struct leg {
    int fix_index;
    char id[6];
    double latitude, longitude;
    } ;

struct page {
    int index;
    double x2, x3, y2, y3 ;
    } ;

struct leg trip_legs [ TOTAL_PAGES ] [ TOTAL_PAGES + 1 ] ;
struct page pages [ TOTAL_PAGES ] ;

int current_page;         // OR Initialize this to make ICE disappear

void delete_wp1 ( int index ) ;

void delete_wp1 ( int index )
{
   current_page = 1;
   if ( index > 0 )
   {                      // ICE occurs on following line
      pages[current_page].x2 =
           trip_legs [current_page] [index -1].longitude;

      pages[current_page].y2 =
           trip_legs[current_page][index - 1].latitude;
   }
}

Compiling the above code with

   cl /c /Od /AL test.c

returns the following error message:

   ice.c
   ice.c(38) : fatal error C1001: Internal Compiler Error
                   (compiler file '../grammar.c', line 140)

The following are valid workarounds for this internal compiler error:

1. Compile with a memory model other than large or compact.

2. Compile with default optimizations (/Ot).

3. Uncomment the pragmas to optimize for time.

4. Initialize the current_page variable.

5. Compile with the /qc option to run the QuickC Compiler.
