PRODUCT :Microsoft C Compiler
PROD/VER:WINNT:5.0
OPER/SYS:
KEYWORDS:kberrmsg kbCompiler kbCPPonly kbVC kbVC500bug kbVS97sp2fix

======================================================================
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

 - The C/C++ Compiler (CL.EXE), included with:
    - Microsoft Visual C++, 32-bit Enterprise Edition, version 5.0 
    - Microsoft Visual C++, 32-bit Professional Edition, version 5.0 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

Compiling code similar to that in the sample below may cause the following error
to be generated:

   fatal error C1001: INTERNAL COMPILER ERROR (compiler file
   'E:\utc\src\\P2\main.c', line 379)

RESOLUTION
==========

In the sample below, initializing all the local integers to known values,
instead of leaving them uninitialized, will allow the code below to compile
without generating the C1001 error.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the
beginning of this article. This bug has been fixed in Visual Studio 97 Service
Pack 3.

      // compile options: /Og /c
      struct B;
      struct A {
         B * pB;
      };
      struct B {
         A * pA;
         B * pBnext;
         B * pBb;
      } ;
      void f() {
         int i;    // initialize for workaround
         int j;    // initialize for workaround
         int k = 0;
         B * pB1;
         B * pB2 = 0;
         B * pB3;
         B * rgpB[2];
         int rgi[2];
         while(1)
         {
            rgi[i] = k++;
            pB2 = pB2->pBb;
            rgpB[k] = pB2;
            j = k++;
            pB3 = rgpB[j];
            pB1 = pB3->pA->pB;
            while (pB1)
               pB1 = pB1->pBnext;
