The information in this article applies to:
- The Visual Workbench, included with:
Microsoft Visual C++ for Windows, version 1.0
----------------------------------------------------------------------
SYMPTOMS
========
The Visual Workbench that ships with Microsoft Visual C++ version 1.0
causes a general protection (GP) fault if any of the following options
are added to the Custom Options section (select Options, choose
Project, then choose Compiler):
/Fe = Used for naming of the resultant executable
/Fo = Used for naming of the object file (.OBJ)
/Fm = Used for naming of the linker map file
These options don't have a corresponding check box in the Compiler
Options section. Furthermore, the crash occurs only if the /Fp or /Fd
option does not appear earlier in the option string.
RESOLUTION
==========
The above options are generally not necessary when building with the
Visual Workbench. By default, the Workbench creates a makefile that
names the .EXE to be <PROJECT_NAME>.EXE and specifies that the .OBJ
files will be named <SOURCE_FILENAME>.OBJ. The .OBJ files are placed
in the project directory (where the .MAK file is located). Using the
/Fo option causes conflicts with the makefile that is created by the
Visual Workbench because the makefile looks for the .OBJ in the
project directory, when in fact the .OBJ exists in the directory that
is specified with the /Fo option.
The /Fm and /Fe options are not useful in this case because the
makefile that is generated by the Visual Workbench compiles and links
in two separate steps. The options are helpful only when compiling in
one step (compiling without the /c compiler option). To create a
linker map file, use the linker options "Create Map File" check box.
The executable name will always be <PROJECT_NAME>.EXE.
STATUS
======
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem with Visual C++ for
Windows version 1.0. This problem has been fixed in Visual C++ for
Windows version 1.5.
