Norcroft C 5.88 Fatal error: typeof(93)

Hello all,
This is my first post on here!

I got the following error when compiling a program with Norcraft 5.88:

Norcroft RISC OS Arm C vsn 5.88 [27 Oct 2021]
“c.cbug”, line 13: Fatal internal error: typeof(93)

Internal inconsistency: either resource shortage or compiler fault. If you
cannot alter your program to avoid this failure, please contact your supplier

This is a test program that produces the error:

typedef struct {
int a;
} abc;

typedef struct {
abc *x;
} def;

void aaa(def *bbb) {
abc *zz;

}

The problem was caused by putting a ‘-’ instead of a ‘=’. It is not a serious problem
as the workaround is to learn how to type correctly. Can someone have a look at it, though?

I had similar messages during the last days but also with an older version of the Norcroft Compiler in an entirely different context. I dared to add several function calls of an own function which shows me some debug messages on the screen into a certain function.
Three times calling the function was allowed four times not :-(.
However I think it is as it says: resource shortage of which kind ever. I splitted my program into several compile units and the problems seems to be gone now.
