FIX: Dependencies Not Generated for Files w/Lines Ending in LF

Article ID: 122334

Article Last Modified on 10/2/2003

APPLIES TO

This article was previously published under Q122334

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.
