initializers put in compiler reserved initialization area

The compiler initialization area, which is specified by #pragma init_seg, is reserved by Microsoft. Code in this area may be executed before initialization of the C run-time library.

The following sample generates C4074:

// C4074.cpp
// compile with: /W1
#pragma init_seg( compiler )   // C4074

// try this line to resolve the warning
// #pragma init_seg(user)

int main() {
}
