internal error: bad pointer

yongbei_ma_ — Wed, 01 Apr 2015 12:59:53 GMT

my code is this:

__________________________________________

#include <iostream>

class TEST{
public:
double *A;
public:
TEST(double * _A){
A = _A;
#pragma offload_transfer target(mic:0) nocopy(this : alloc_if(1) free_if(0)) in(A:length(2*3) alloc_if(1) free_if(0))
}
void run(){
A[1] = 0;
// double *B = A;
std::cout<<A[1]<<std::endl;
#pragma offload target (mic) nocopy(this : alloc_if(1) free_if(0)) out(A:length(2*3) alloc_if(0) free_if(1))
{
A[1] = 1;
}
std::cout<<A[1]<<std::endl;
}
};

int main()
{

double *A = (double*)_mm_malloc(sizeof(double)*2*3,64);
TEST test(A);
test.run();

}

______________________________________________________

I want to copy the matrix A in TEST constructor first,and then in run() using it.but it give me some error when I compile the code

------------------------------------------------------------

$ icpc testclass.cpp

testclass.cpp(9): internal error: bad pointer

#pragma offload_transfer target(mic:0) nocopy(this : alloc_if(1) free_if(0)) in(A:length(2*3) alloc_if(1) free_if(0))

compilation aborted for testclass.cpp (code 4)

--------------------------------------------------------------

could someone help me figure out what wrong with this ,thanks.

I will try reproducing the

I will try reproducing the error and post again when I know more.

NOTE: This post was Updated after my original post.

I reproduced the internal error and forwarded it to Development (see internal tracking id below).

After checking with Developers much more knowledgeable than me with C++ and offloading a CLASS member pointer, I removed my earlier code and provided their corrected code below. Unfortunately their variant is still similar to your code and still suffers the internal error with the Parallel Studio XE 2015 Update 2. I have verified there is a fix in our latest internal development compiler but I need to check whether it will make the upcoming Parallel Studio XE 2015 Update 3 release.

        #pragma offload_transfer target(mic:0) nocopy(this: alloc_if(1))

        #pragma offload_transfer target(mic:0) nocopy(this) in(A:length(2*3) alloc_if(1) free_if(0))

    void run(){

The internal error is fixed

The internal error is fixed in PSXE 2015 update #3, so I'm closing this ticket now.
