Summary:
The Microsoft C Compiler version 6.0 produces the following internal
compiler error when the sample program below is compiled for large
(/AL) or compact (/AC) memory model with any optimizations except /Od,
/Oa, or /Ow:
file.c(24) : fatal error C1001: Internal Compiler Error
(compiler file '@(#)newcode.c:1.87', line 604)
Contact Microsoft Product Support Services
If the code is compiled with /Oa or /Ow, C 6.0 generates the following
error message:
file.c(24) : fatal error C1001: Internal Compiler Error
(compiler file '@(#)regMD.c:1.100', line 1017)
Contact Microsoft Product Support Services
Since these errors occur if any optimization is turned on, compiling
with the /Od optimization switch or using the new optimize pragma to
turn off all optimizations is the easiest solution.
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in C version 6.0. This
problem was corrected in C version 6.0a.
Sample Code
-----------
/* Compile options needed: /AL /Oe
*/
#include <ctype.h>
#define OFFSET 2
#define NEXTFP(nextfp,fp) \
nextfp = (long) fp & 0xffff0000;\
nextfp = nextfp + * fp + *(fp+1) * 0x100;
static unsigned char * stk_bottom;
static long first_fp;
void main (void) {}
void chkstkinit()
{
unsigned char stk_top;
static long nextfp;
static unsigned char *fp;
stk_top = 0xaa;
fp = &stk_top + OFFSET;
NEXTFP(nextfp, fp);
stk_bottom = (unsigned char *)nextfp; // Error on This line
first_fp = *stk_bottom + *(stk_bottom +1) * 0x100;
return;
