Symptom(s):
Build window reports one or more compiler errors. Even though...
- Microsoft Visual C++* 6.0 compiles without error.
- Object file and executable are generated.
- No specific errors are emitted.
Cause:
The Visual C++ IDE shows the number of errors and warnings at the bottom of the build window after every build. The IDE gets this number by counting the number of times the string "error" occurs in the build log. This causes problems when building source that includes text containing the string "error" and you use the Intel® Compilers since they emit the source line that caused a specific diagnostic. If this source line contains "error," and then the IDE will count that as an instance of an error.
Solution:
The best fix is to not use the "error" string in your source code. The Intel® C++ compiler will continue to emit the source line in their diagnostics, and the Microsoft Visual C++* IDE will continue to count the "error" string. This does not affect object or binary generation, so this behavior can be safely ignored.
