Catastrophic compiler error with `-check all` for ifort v2021.1 on macOS 10.15

Grgur — Tue, 09 Feb 2021 21:04:43 GMT

I have encountered a catastrophic compiler error when using `-check all` flag with ifort v2021.1 on macOS Catalina 10.15.6. I know that there was a reported bug related to this issue that was supposedly fixed in version 19.2, but I think it is still not fully fixed.

In short:
! C = matmul(A,B) ! compiles correctly
C = matmul(1.0*A,B) ! fails with the catastrophic compiler error

catastrophic error: **Internal compiler error: internal abort** Please report this error along with the circumstances in which it occurred in a Software Problem Report.

If `-check all` flag is removed, the code compiles in both cases.

A MWE is provided below:

program test_matmul implicit none real,dimension(5,5) :: A,B,C A = 1.0 B = 2.0 ! C = matmul(A,B) ! compiles correctly C = matmul(1.0*A,B) ! fails with the catastrophic compiler error end program test_matmul

(Note: I have posted this question to Intel Support as well, as I'm not sure what is the right venue for this)

I forgot to mention, the command I used to compile is

ifort -r8 -g -debug -traceback -O0 -check all test_matmul.f90

where test_matmul.f90 is the name of the MWE file.

If you have purchased support, then the Online Service Center is the right place. Otherwise, you can post here and hope it will be picked up.

Thanks for the info, Steve! I haven't purchased the support, so this is the place then

This is another issue specifically with -check shape

You can still get checks if you avoid shape and use a list of the checks other than shape:

-check uninit,bounds,arg_temp_created

I'll add this example to the existing -check shape bug

Someone must have told you that this was fixed in an upcoming Update. I tested this with the nightly build of the compiler and it is indeed fixed. So you will get a fix in the next oneAPI 2021 release, named "Update 1" and version will be 2021.2. It's expect in a few months (we try to release updates about every 3 months) so use the workaround by avoiding -check shape until "Intel oneAPI 2021 Update 1" is released.

Thanks for the help, Ronald! These flags indeed make the code compile.

I'm looking forward to seeing the -check shape bug resolved.

Oh no, I wasn't aware that it was fixed in the upcoming update. I saw in a post from a few months ago that you mentioned that `-check all` issue related to matmul on macOS was fixed in v19.1.2, so I thought the bug I reported relates to an unaddressed aspect of that bug.

Here is the post I'm referring to
