I tried switch /ZmXXX with a couple of different values for XXX, this seems to have no effect on the problem and still the VC8 Release build crashes with C1060.
The documentation says that /Zm "Determines the amount of memory that the compiler allocates to construct precompiled headers". Can you give a little more detail on how you think that C1060 could be avoided in this case by changing the memory allocation for precompiled headers?
The example I provided in the original post is a sole cpp file, I haven't myself created any headers, precompiled or otherwise. The code #includes various headers from STL and boost, are you saying that those #includes are picking up precompiled headers such that the behavior of the build could be influenced by /Zm?
I'm sorry. It seems that I've been too quick to assume you used precompiled headers or that "/Zm" actually does something other than setting the limit for PCH files.
If it was me, I would play with the compiler optimization flags to see which one was the culprit, but I'm sure you've already done than and/or you probably need those optimizations. Also, the MSDN page for the C1060 error code lists some workarounds. They don't seem like breakthroughs or anything, but the file splitting might work (if that's indeed possible to any useful extent with this simple example.)
No problem! I appreciate the ideas. I have tried a few tweaks with no success, but I will continue to experiment and I'll post back if I find a solution. Thanks again for your help. Regards, Eric
