ouch, that means the compliler is buggy not your code, i used to get this using the complex number class in visual C++ 6.0 in release mode

mj is right; in particular this is possibly the compiler bug in question.advice: upgrade to Visual Studio 6.0 Service Pack 3 or later.

If you're using a later version of the compiler this message often means that you've got invalid code, the complier just can't work out what's wrong. There's a nice name for it - an ICE.

There's a nice name for it - an ICE.I think this is the correct conclusion in many cases.Used to get it with templates, just means the compiler cannot figure out your code. Solution is to read the code good and make sure you don't hava typos.A while ago the Zorteth compiler error msg was: Ring LONDON 020 *********

yes, compiler bug, I often saw it with templates in earlier Microsoft compilers. If you there's no later version, usually best thing is to simplify your code (eg split it up into different files/functions, reduce number of includes) and/or to comment bits out until you find the line(s) of code that are causing the problem and then rewrite those lines of code in a different way. Regards,

Regards,Agree. I forgot to say that ICE was common in VC++ 6.0. First time I saw it I considered a support contract with MS

download the VSSP6, install it and retry, if that doesn´t work, you´re probably compiling some 3rd party lib which must have prepared an ms-safe version. If this is not the case, then stop using Templace Specialization with MS Visual Studio, the compiler simply can´t parse it.adios.
