Summary:
When mixing \ and / on the MASM command line, MASM will sometimes give
incorrect results and hang. The following command line causes these
problems (the command lines are broken up for readability only):
masm
-I\sl200qr\sl
-Mx
-DVERS_DDQR
-I\sl200qr/sl/cmerge/src/Common
\sl200qr/sl/cmerge/src/Common/comsup.asm ;
The command line causes the option -Mx to be ignored. MASM also hangs
on some assembler files.
In this case, MASM was incorrectly extracting the base name; it wrote
the full path into an array big enough only for an 8.3 filename, thus
overwriting many global flags.
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Version 5.10. We are
researching this problem and will post new information as it becomes
available.
