FIX: Error C1001 Generated Due to Insufficient Disk Space

WINDOWS   | WINDOWS NT

The information in this article applies to:

• The Microsoft C/C++ Compiler (CL.EXE), included with:

      - Microsoft Visual C++ for Windows, versions 1.0 and 1.5
      - Microsoft Visual C++ 32-bit Edition, version 1.0
  

SYMPTOMS

Compiling with insufficient disk may generate the following error message:

   fatal error C1001: INTERNAL COMPILER ERROR
                (compiler file 'msc1.cpp', line 602)
   Please choose the Technical Support command on the Visual
   Workbench Help menu, or open the Technical Support help file for
   more information.

CAUSE

Lack of available disk space for the generation of various intermediate, listing, and object files by the compiler causes the above error.

RESOLUTION

Check for the available disk space when starting the compilation process; it should be large enough for all the intermediate, listing, and object files to be generated by the compiler.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the products listed at the beginning of this article. This problem was corrected in Visual C++ version 2.0.
