The information in this article applies to:

- The C/C++ Compiler (CL.EXE), included with:
   - *EDITOR Please do not choose this product*Microsoft Visual C++ 32-bit Edition* use 241, 265, 225 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

The ERRORS.HLP file does not document fatal error C1053, "function too large for
global optimizations." This error can occur on very large blocks of code.

CAUSE
=====

The compiler has a limited amount of space available for storing temporary
variables that it uses to track code within a function or code block.

RESOLUTION
==========

The compiler could not handle the size of the specified function. You can
compile without the /Og switch (this includes the /Ox and /O2 switches) or split
up your code to reduce the size of the function. Note that a function which
calls inline routines can grow very large.

This was corrected in Microsoft Visual C++, version 2.0
