DOCUMENT:Q122334 23-JUL-2001 [visualc] TITLE :FIX: Dependencies Not Generated for Files w/Lines Ending in LF PRODUCT :Microsoft C Compiler PROD/VER:winnt: OPER/SYS: KEYWORDS:kbbuglist kbfixlist ====================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information in this article applies to: - Microsoft Visual C++, 32-bit Enterprise Edition, version 2.0 - Microsoft Visual C++, 32-bit Professional Edition, version 2.0 - Microsoft Visual C++, 32-bit Learning Edition, version 2.0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SYMPTOMS ======== Visual Workbench does not generate dependencies for files that contain lines ending with a line-feed (LF) character only. Dependencies are generated correctly for files with lines that end in both a carriage-return (CR) and line-feed (LF) character. RESOLUTION ========== Open the file in Visual Workbench. Then save it without making any changes. The saved file will contain both CR and LF characters at the end of each line. After that, dependencies will be correctly generated for that file. STATUS ====== Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. This problem was fixed in Microsoft Visual C++, 32-bit Edition, version 4.0. MORE INFORMATION ================ Files with lines ending in the LF character typically come from the UNIX environment. MS-DOS text files have lines ending in both a CR and LF character. Additional query words: 2.00 carriage return returns include ====================================================================== Keywords : kbbuglist kbfixlist Technology : kbVCsearch kbAudDeveloper kbVC200 kbVC32bitSearch Version : winnt: Issue type : kbbug Solution Type : kbfix ============================================================================= THE INFORMATION PROVIDED IN THE MICROSOFT KNOWLEDGE BASE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND.
