Linker errors (LNK1000: Internal error during Pass2)

J

Jonathan Payne

I am having some problems with the linker and I was wondering if anyone had
any suggestions. I am working on a large project (the main .exe file is
around 7 mb release, 14 mb debug) and after building a number of debug
builds I get a linker error (see below).

I do a complete clean and rebuild every evening so I have a fresh build by
the morning. By early afternoon (after perhaps 20 or so incremental
builds), I start seeing the linker errors and once they start occurring, I
get them roughtly every other time I build until I do a full rebuild.

The following knowledge base articles seem to detail similar problems but
for the 2002 edition of the compiler (I am using Visual Studio 2003):

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=329593
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;826326

As these have updated link.exe files from after the 2003 release, I was
wondering if the fix was discovered after the 2003 release and if so, if
Microsoft has an equivalent fix for Visual Studio 2003. Is there a hot fix
I could get from Microsoft support?

Alternatively, are there any work arounds? I was wondering if deleting some
of the intermediate files and letting it do a full relink at lunch time each
day would help but I think it is already doing a full relink after the
linker crashes as the previous link failed (although I am thinking of
experimenting with deleting the .ilk files at lunch time).

Of course the other solution would be not to use incremental linking but I
would like to carry on using it if possible (as a full link takes much
longer).

almost identical I will only post a selection:

I also had this linker crash about a week ago. In my project there used to
be a large lib merged from many little libs and linked to the main exe, but
after trying to add one more recently (about the ~28th) I couldn't get rid
of this error and had to add each of them to the additional dependencies one
by one to make it link. Not sure if this info is going to be any useful for
you, probably not, but I thought I would mention it.

Thank you - it is good to know that I am not the only person having this
problem. It does sound like there is some internal limit in the linker that
you and I are hitting. Unfortunatly I can't work out how to narrow down
what this limit it is and I am not sure how I would fix my problem if I
could find out!
