PRB: Low Disk Space May Cause Miscellaneous Build Problems

• The C/C++ Compiler (CL.EXE), included with:
  • Microsoft Visual C++, 32-bit Editions, versions 1.0, 2.0, 2.1

SYMPTOMS

When building a project in the Visual Workbench, syntax errors on BSCMAKE, "missing source file" errors from the compiler, or a compiler stack overflow error C1063 occurs sporadically under extremely low disk space situations.

CAUSE

When the available disk space is enough for the executable file but not for other files that are being generated, either BSCMAKE or the linker may fail. Also, the compiler may generate the compiler stack overflow error instead of an error indicating that it cannot write a file due to low disk space.

RESOLUTION

To work around this problem, try to free up more disk space. Choosing to not generate browser information or create precompiled headers may also help.

MORE INFORMATION

Normally, an error indicating that there is either low disk space or that a file cannot be created or written to disk is generated instead.
