Linker crashes when building in Release mode.

Question

We are able to build our app in Debug mode, but when we try to build for Release, we get a message that "Microsoft Incremental Linker has stopped working"

Additionally, this error shows up in the build log:

1>LINK : fatal error C1001: An internal error has occurred in the compiler.
1>  (compiler file 'f:\dd\vctools\compiler\utc\src\p2\main.c', line 211)
1>   To work around this problem, try simplifying or changing the program near the locations listed above.

Answer 1

> Version 11.00.50327.1

This is not the beta Dev11 compiler or linker, that would be 50214. If you are on a program which gives you access to post beta drops you should be reporting this to your program contact.

The C1001 is a crash in the compiler, so this is happening during link time code generation. If you'd like to send me the repro I'll see that it gets reported. firstname.lastname @ microsoft.com
