[vbox-dev] compiling error (__alloca_probe_16)

[Huihong Luo]

Frank,
 
I tried the same, but couldn't compile. Very weird. Is it possible your build system have old .obj files? if you do rebuild all, you may hit the error.
 
If I use a newer WDK, it will work if compile as Vista and above, but fails as XP.
 
I also built a little HelloWorld driver, same thing, only compiles as Vista and above.
 
I can easily change that function call to make it to compile, but wanted to figure out why it's failing.
