The information in this article applies to:

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

         - Microsoft Visual C++, 32-bit Edition, version 1.0

SYMPTOMS

The compiler generates the following internal compiler error message when the sample program below is compiled: 

   fatal error C1001: INTERNAL COMPILER ERROR
      (compiler file '@(#)coff.c:1.14', line 280)
The internal compiler error is triggered by the code, which does a new of an array of a class that is marked __declspec(dllimport).

RESOLUTION

To avoid the error, remove the __declspec(dllimport) from the class declaration and link with an import library instead.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the products listed at the beginning of this article. The problem was corrected in Visual C++, 32-bit edition, version 2.0.

Sample Code

/* Compile options needed: /c
*/
class __declspec(dllimport) CImport { public: 
    CImport();
    ~CImport();
};

class CMyClass { protected: 

    CImport * piArray;
public: 
    CMyClass() {piArray = new CImport[2];}
    ~CMyClass() {delete[] piArray;}
};
