INFO: /Zg Not Designed for Use with .CPP or .CXX Files (98592)

SUMMARY

If you specify the /Zg compiler option switch when compiling a file with the .CPP or .CXX file extension, the compiler may generate a large number of function prototypes. If the number of prototypes is very large, a null pointer assignment, run-time overflow, or other error can occur. This behavior varies depending on the amount of memory available to the compiler.

The /Zg option is not designed for use with .CPP or .CXX files. It is designed to generate function prototypes only for .C files.

Sample Code

   /*
    * Compile options needed: /Zg
    */ 

   #include <iostream.h>

   void main()
   {
      cout << "Hello out there";
   }
