The information in this article applies to:
- The C/C++ Compiler (CL.EXE), used with:
- Microsoft Visual C++, 32-bit Enterprise Edition, version 5.0
- Microsoft Visual C++, 32-bit Professional Edition, version 5.0
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SYMPTOMS
========
When a member of an imported class attempts direct initialization of a static
local variable of class type with a constant string literal, the following error
may result:
fatal error C1001: INTERNAL COMPILER ERROR
(compiler file 'E:\utc\src\\P2\p2symtab.c', line 2221)
Please choose the Technical Support command on the Visual C++ Help menu, or
open the Technical Support help file for more information Error executing
cl.exe.
RESOLUTION
==========
Simplify the expression. Declare a local static constant string literal, then
use that local to initialize the static local variable of class type.
STATUS
======
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the
beginning of this article. This problem was corrected in Visual C++ version 6.0
for Windows.

Steps to Reproduce Behavior
---------------------------
// compiler options needed: /c
struct A
{
A(const char * a);
};
struct __declspec(dllimport) B
{
void f() {
static A isa = "...";
// A workaround is to break up the expression
//static const char *p = "...";
//static A isa = p ;
} ;
};
