BUG: Header File Listed in SYSINCL.DAT in Dependency List

 Last reviewed: April 10, 1997
Article ID: Q166716
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Visual C++, 32-bit Editions, version 5.0

SYMPTOMS

A header file listed in the SYSINCL.DAT file still appears in the External Dependencies list.

CAUSE

The directory to the header file is specified with forward slash (sys/test.h) rather than a backward slash (sys\test.h) in the SYSINCL.DAT file. Specifying the directory with a backslash in the SYSINCL.DAT file excludes files that are included in the source file with either forward or backward slashes. For example: 

   #include <sys/test1.h>
   #include <sys\test2.h>

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this bug and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

MORE INFORMATION

The files listed in SYSINCL.DAT should be excluded from dependency scanning and not be displayed in the External Dependencies folder.
