The information in this article applies to:

- The C/C++ Compiler (CL.EXE), included with:
   - Microsoft Visual C++, 32-bit Enterprise Edition, version 5.0 
   - Microsoft Visual C++, 32-bit Professional Edition, version 5.0 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

Compiling the sample code below may cause the following error:

  

  ttt.cpp(10) : fatal error C1001: INTERNAL COMPILER ERROR
               (compiler file 'E:\utc\src\\P2\x86\fppeeps.c', line 394)

CAUSE
=====

This internal compiler error is caused by global optimizations which is enabled
by the /Og option. The /O1 (minimize space), /O2 (maximize speed), and /Ox
(maximum opts.) options include the /Og switch so those may also cause this
C1001 error.

RESOLUTION
==========

Enabling the /Op (improve floating-pt consistency) optimization, or disabling
the /Og optimization, either at the command line or by use of #pragma optimize
will avoid the C1001 error. A more intrusive workaround would be to change the
floats to doubles.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the
beginning of this article. This bug has been corrected in Visual Studio 97
Service Pack 1.

For additional information about the Visual Studio 97 Service Pack 1, please see

MORE INFORMATION
================

The following code demonstrates one form of this C1001 error. Use /Og- or /Ogp
as a workaround.

SAMPLE CODE:

     // cl /c /Og
     float gf1, gf2, gf3;
     float func( float *pf2, float f, float f1, float f2, float f3 )
     {
         f3 = f * (*pf2);
         gf3 = f3;
         gf2 = f2;
         gf1 = f1;
         return f;
     }
