An internal error has occurred in the compiler [Solved]

[alc]

This is to help anyone getting the rather non-specific error "fatal error C1001: An internal error has occurred in the compiler." when compiling in VS 2008. In my own code I had

Code: Select all

#define rectf irr::core::rect<f32>

to make my life a little easier. Now, after upgrading to 1.7.1 this is part of the rect.h file, and it results in the above error. Removing this #define solved the problem.

Well, if you'd have used a typedef instead, this would be a simple warning or error instead of an infinite recursion or whatever made this problem to occur. Just use the proper language elements for such situations.
