| 452.1 | fixed in V5.0 | DECWET::PETERSON | Mon Jan 27 1997 02:24 | 8 | |
|     The problem is that the Windows NT image and object file format have a
    limit of 255 characters for a symbol.  A workaround was introduced in
    VC++ V4.2 for template names that exceeded the length for Intel, but
    it didn't make it into the Alpha compiler.
    
    The program runs (although with a lot of warnings about truncated
    symbols used for debugging) using the VC++ V5.0 that is about to go to
    Beta.

| Thanks for the explanation. If version 5.0 isn't an option for this customer, would it be possible to make a compiler patch available or is it not that simple? Thanks, C. | |||||
