BUG: C1001: Internal Compiler Error in Template.cpp File, Line 6514

ID: Q236099

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Visual C++, 32-bit Editions, version 6.0

SYMPTOMS

When compiling code that uses templates and contains a mismatched number of parameters between the declaration and implementation of the template classes, the compiler may give the following error:

fatal error C1001: INTERNAL COMPILER ERROR (compiler file '.\template.cpp', line 6514)

The line number is 6529 if you have installed Visual Studio 6.0 Service Pack 3 (SP3).

CAUSE

The compiler failed to correctly parse the code and was unable to generate a syntax error message.

RESOLUTION

Check the number of parameters in the declaration and implementation of the template classes. Correct the code so that the parameters match.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.

MORE INFORMATION

The following code demonstrates the bug:


template <class T, bool bArray = false>
class Test
{
public:
   Test(T *p);
   T* _p;
};

template <class T>                // Comment this line and uncomment 
                                  // the next line for fix.
//template <class T, bool bArray>

inline Test<T>::Test<T>(T *p)
{
   _p = p;
}

void main()
{
   Test<int, false> pInt = new int;
}
