Option Qcheck-pointers-mpx:rw breaks ICC 16.0 with error 010101_0

[Roman_Z_1]

Hi!

I'm trying to build Google Test library with ICC and option -Qcheck-pointers-mpx:rw . Compilation stops with an error:

  gtest-all.cc
": : error : 010101_0 [googletest\googletest\msvc\gtest.vcxproj]

There is a build script for VS2015 at github: https://github.com/wizardsd/icc_bug_mpx

Software: Intel(R) Compiler 16.0 Update 1 (package 146), Visual Studio 2015 Update 1

Will you help me with this problem?

Hi, Roman

I tried build the Google Test Library using ICL 16.0 Update 1.

I will initially get an exception specification error. This should relate to:

 https://software.intel.com/en-us/forums/intel-c-compiler/topic/494698

I have work-around it by modifying line 314 of "include/internal/gtest-param-util.h" as below: 

virtual ~Iterator() throw() {}

Then I will encounter such error : 010101_0 [googletest\googletest\msvc\gtest.vcxproj] which is an internal error build from command in ICL

It looks like some configuration error. I am still investigating this and will update soon. 

Thank you

Hi, Yolanda!

I think that there is a problem with ICC, because without option -Qcheck-pointers-mpx:rw everything works perfectly.

[Yuan_C_Intel]

Hi, Roman

Yes, you are right. The internal error only happens when /Qcheck-pointers-mpx:rw is specified.

My previous syntax error was reproduced by an internal package. The error is fixed in Update 1(16.0.1.146). That's my bad. Sorry.

I have reproduced the issue you reported and entered it in our problem tracking system. We will try to resolve this issue as soon as we can. However, please be advised that this issue may have to be targeted to for the next major release. I will let you know when I have an update on this issue. 

Thank you.

Hi Roman,
What OS version are you using? Also, are you using the /MD option as well? Thx.

Hi, Kittur,

I'm using Windows 10 x64 LTSB (10240). Compiler crashes with debug options: /MTd or /MDd. With options /MT and /MD I get linker errors like that:

gtest.lib(gtest-all.obj) : : error LNK2005: __cp_array_end_?id@?$num_put@DV?$ostreambuf_iterator@DU?$char_traits@D@std@@@std@@@std@@2V0locale@2@A already defined in gtest_prod_test.obj 

[KitturGanesh]

Thanks for the info Roman Z.  Yes, this is an issue that's already field with the developers. In the meantime, try to not use -MD to compile and see if that works or try to link with MS library "legacy_stdio_definitions.lib" from C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\lib\amd64 and see if that helps. If it doesn't then don't bother to do so.  We'll let you know as soon as the release with a fix for this issue is out. Appreciate your patience till then.

Hi Roman,
Thanks for the inquiry. The issue will be fixed in  the 17.0 release. Right now the 17.0 beta is out but I am awaiting a response from the team to find out if the issue will be fixed in the 17.0 beta update 1 release that will be out later.   Just in case if you wish to participate in  the 17.0 beta you can register at: https://software.intel.com/en-us/forums/intel-c-compiler/topic/623321
