1097.0. "Linker Error" by NETRIX::"ferrind@main.dec.com" (ferrind@mail.dec.com) Mon Mar 24 1997 18:00

I am experiencing a linker error when trying to build a device driver under
Windows NT V4.0. The error is 

LINK :  error : Internal error during Pass1

This happens when building using the studio environment as well
as the build command for the DDK. It seems to go away in the user level 
code if I check the Link Incrementally flag, I do not see the error. However
I don't have that option with the driver.

I have attached a simple program that recreates this error.

Any ideas???
Thanks inadvance

From the build -cef command:

obj\alpha\watch.obj() : error : Internal error during Pass1

From the developer studio:

--------------------Configuration: isempty - Win32 (ALPHA)
Release--------------------
Linking...

LINK : error : Internal error during Pass1
link.exe terminated at user request.
Tool execution canceled by user.
isempty.exe - 1 error(s), 0 warning(s)

when trying to compile (NT4.0 Checked, standard settings):

#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main(int argc,char *argv[]){
   struct _stat buf;
   int result;
	if (argc!=2) {
		puts("Expected a single filename, returns errorlevel 0\nif file doesn't
exist or is empty."); 
		return 0;
	}
   /* Get data associated with "stat.c": */
   result = _stat( argv[1], &buf );

   if( result != 0 ) {
      perror( "Problem getting information" );
      return 0;
	  }
   return buf.st_size ? 1 : 0;
}

    I had no problem linking the program.
    you might want to report this problem in the decwet::visual notes
    conference, which is an internal bug reporting mechanism for VC++ for
    Alpha.
    Include the version of Visual C++, and the complete list of linker
    switches.
    
    check also for corrupted libraries or object files.

The problem appears to have gone away when I reinstalled the ddk, sdk
and visual c. Go figure. It works now.
