Summary:
SYMPTOMS
The /Fe and /Fo compiler options are used to name the executable
file and the object file, respectively. These switches require that
the name of the file immediately follows the switch with no
intervening spaces. If one or more spaces separate the option from
the filename, the compiler will generate one of the following
unexpected warnings:
Command line warning D4002 : ignoring unknown flag '-Fe'
Command line warning D4002 : ignoring unknown flag '-Fo'
This limitation is documented in the online help; however, the
"Microsoft C Reference" manual does not make this clear because it
shows the switches with a space before the filenames. In addition,
these messages are not indicative of the true nature of the errors,
implying instead that these options are not implemented.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in C versions 5.1,
6.0, 6.0a, and 6.0ax and QuickC versions 2.0, 2.01, 2.5, and 2.51
(buglist2.00, buglist2.01, buglist2.50, and buglist2.51). We are
researching this problem and will post new information here as it
becomes available.
