Hi all,

the visual C++ compiler crashes when using /doc option to generate XML documentation and adding comments to C++ properties.

Output:

1>------ Build started: Project: XMLDocCrash, Configuration: Debug Win32 ------
1> XMLDocCrash.cpp
1>c:\users\XXX\documents\visual studio 2010\projects\xmldoccrash\xmldoccrash\xmldoccrash.cpp(49): fatal error C1001: An internal error has occurred in the compiler.
1> (compiler file 'msc1.cpp', line 1420)
1> To work around this problem, try simplifying or changing the program near the locations listed above.

Total build time: 00:01.139

========== Build: 0 succeeded or up-to-date, 1 failed, 0 skipped ==========

I will attach a sample project.

In the project I followed theese instructions:
properties - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/yhfk0thd(v=VS.100).aspx
/doc - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms173501.aspx

Details (expand)

Visual Studio 2010 SP1

1. Create a new win32 console application
2. go to the project properties of the new project to enable xml documentation files generation (Configuration Properties -> C/C++ -> Output Files -> set "Generate XML Documentation Files" to "Yes (/doc)"
3. code a simple class and add a C++ property like: __declspec(property(get=GetValue)) int IntValue;
=> compile -> everything is fine
4. add a comment just before the property that starts with 3 slashes like: /// foo
=> compiler crashes

The compiler will also crash if the comment starts with /**.
Btw, why do the comments not appear in the object browser?
