Compiler error in alloc_traits.h from GCC 4.9

Hey there,

ICC 14.0 fails to compile most of STL code as shipped by GCC 4.9:

$ cat test.cpp 
#include <vector>
int main() { return 0; }

compilation aborted for test.cpp (code 2)

Will a new icpc be released to fix this?

Hi,

Intel compiler version 14.0 is still not supporting GCC version 4.9, Could you try using GCC version 4.8?

Regards,

Sukruth H V

Milian_W_ · ‎05-08-2014

Yes, I see that ICPC 14 is not working with GCC 4.9 :)

What I want to know is whether ICPC 15 will support it. And if it does, is there and ETA for it?

TimP · ‎05-08-2014

The beta compiler announced at the top of the forum works OK with my examples of g++ 4.9 STL.

Traditionally, a compiler similar to beta is released about 6 months later.

I just downloaded the beta version of icc and it still cannot compile my code:

icc (ICC) 15.0.0 20140428

In file included from /usr/include/c++/4.9.0/ext/alloc_traits.h(36),
from /usr/include/c++/4.9.0/bits/stl_tree.h(65),
from /usr/include/c++/4.9.0/map(60),
...
/usr/include/c++/4.9.0/bits/alloc_traits.h(248): error: expected a ">"
= typename __construct_helper<_Tp, _Args...>::type;

I cannot, nor want to, downgrade GCC. So what can I do now? Do I have to compile an older GCC myself and then use -cxxlib=... to use that?

Judith_W_Intel · ‎05-27-2014

This was our DPD200253403 which was fixed in 15.0 on 5/12 so it should be fixed in the next 15.0 beta (beta update 2) which is due out soon.

Sorry for the inconvenience.
