I can't compile, in release version, "lighting.c" with standard
optimizations options (maximum speed).
CL.EXE seem entering in a infinite loop...

I've to remove manually the "Global Optimizations" optimization option to
compile this module.

Anyone having encounter this problem ?

Phil.

Yes.  In fact, I had given up on a release version for exactly that
reason, and I know someone on IRC #povray was also having this
problem.  That you found a solution is new information that should be
interesting to at least a couple of people around here.  

Your solution makes it look like a bug in Visual C++. (Big surprise
there.)

Another message I'm replying to far too late.  
I must be in a time warp.
Sorry for the filler.  Need more unquoted text.

The fix for this problem is in Service Pack 3 for Visual C++ 5.0.
It's available from Microsoft's web site (it's a 90+ meg download) or
it's available directly from Microsoft on a CDROM for free, plus
shipping ($7.50 in the US.)
