Any one of you encountered "fatal error C1001: An internal error has occurred in the compiler"

Question

I got this error while playing with DirectX Metro App. I modified a constructor and I got this error and I put back the old code, I still get this error. Let me know if you encountered this issue and resolved it.

Thanks

I do not think code snippet can help you. I can upload whole solution, what is the best way to do that.

Answer 4

This appears to be an r-on-the-stack problem - definitely a compiler bug.

Try changing m_renderer to be a D2DRenderer^ instead of a no-hat D2DRenderer.  You'll have to modify the ctor initializer list to be m_renderer(ref new D2DRenderer(window)) and change usages of m_renderer to be -> instead of . but overall that should work around this problem for you.

C1001's can be hard to track down; if you look at the line number in the output window it can give you a clue as to where your problem lies.  (This is how I figured it out.)
