SYMPTOMS
========

When you compile a file, such as the following sample, with global optimization
enabled, the following error occurs:

  Text1.cpp(9) : fatal error C1001: INTERNAL COMPILER ERROR
  (compiler file 'E:\utc\src\\P2\main.c', line 379) Please choose the Technical
  Support command on the Visual C++ Help menu, or open the Technical Support
  help file for more information

RESOLUTION
==========

Remove the global optimizations for the source file or use the optimize pragma
to remove the optimization for the function which is causing the error.

NOTE 1: If you are optimizing to minimize size (/O1) or maximize speed (/O2) then
global optimization (/Og) is enabled as these options consist of several
optimizations which includes global optimization.

NOTE 2: The default compiler options /GZ (Catch Release-Build Errors in Debug
Build) and /ZI(Program Database for "Edit and Continue") are incompatible with
/Og option.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the
beginning of this article. This bug has been fixed in Visual Studio 97 Service
