The Microsoft C versions 6.00 and C 6.00a compiler options /Za and /Gr
are not currently compatible. /Gr enables the register calling
convention for passing function parameters in registers, and /Za
disables Microsoft-specific extensions to the C language. In C 6.00
and C 6.00a, the register calling convention relies on Microsoft
extensions being enabled (/Ze).
If you try to specify both /Gr and /Za, the compiler will halt with
the following error:
Command line error D2020 : -Gr option requires extended
keywords to be enabled (-Ze)
Removal of this limitation is being considered for a future release of
the C compiler.
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in C versions 6.00 and
6.00a. We are researching this problem and will post new information
here as it becomes available.
