Summary:
In Microsoft C versions 5.0, 5.1, 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0ax, and C/C++ version
7.0, if a number of compiler warning messages contain the description
"UNKNOWN WARNING", or if the error number is displayed with no message,
the cause may be the use of an incorrect or corrupted error message
file. The compiler generates the correct error number, but since the
messages are retrieved from a separate file, the compiler displays
either no text or "UNKNOWN WARNING" when it cannot find a match.
More Information:
The error message files for the C compiler should contain messages for
all errors and warnings generated. If you look up the number of a
compiler error in the documentation and find a normally documented
error, then you should be suspicious of your .ERR error message files.
The simplest check is to reinstall the error message files from the
original disks and then recompile to see if the error messages
appear correctly. If you are using C 5.1, you can copy CL.ERR and
C23.ERR from the Setup disk and C1.ERR from the disk labeled Compiler
Disk 1. If you are using C 6.0, then enter the following command
at the system prompt
setup /copy
and you will be prompted to specify a file. The files needed are
C1.ERR, CL.ERR, and C23.ERR.
