The information in this article applies to:

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

    - Microsoft C for MS-DOS, versions 5.1, 6.0, 6.0a, and 6.0ax
    - Microsoft C for OS/2, versions 5.1, 6.0, and 6.0a
    - Microsoft C/C++ for MS-DOS, version 7.0
    - Microsoft Visual C/C++ for Windows, versions 1.0, 1.5,
      1.51, 1.52

SYMPTOMS

The following error is generated:

   C1004: Unexpected end of file found

CAUSE

The above error may be caused by failing to end a line with a <CR>. On pure C-language statements, the compiler ignores white space; however, on statements with directives, a <CR> is needed.

This error occurs if the following include file is used in a program:

   #include <stdio.h><CR>
   #define YES 1<CR>
   #define NO  0

Without the <CR> after the third line, error C1004 is produced by the compiler.

RESOLUTION

Make sure each line ends with a <CR>.

NOTE: This problem does not occur with any of the 32-bit compilers.
