This article was previously published under Q103722 SYMPTOMS
The keyword __far generates an error when used in a variable watch
expression; for example, "(char __far *) var". One of the following
errors is generated, depending upon whether you have the ANSI or the
C++ expression evaluator loaded:
CAN0030: Error: expression cannot be evaluated
CXX0030: Error: expression cannot be evaluated
RESOLUTION
To work around the problem, use the keyword _far or far instead of
__far.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in CodeView for MS-DOS
versions 4.0 and 4.01 and CodeView for Windows versions 4.0 and 4.01.
The problem was corrected in CodeView version 4.1.
