Possible bug in C++ compiler of Intel compiler suite 2018

[Inge_G_]

when I tried to install the PETSc 3.8.0 complex version I got

gmake[2]: *** [arch-linux2-c-opt/obj/src/mat/impls/baij/seq/baijsolvtrannat.o] Error 4

This error occurs only with -O2, the default optimization.

My workaround was to turn off optimization for the 3 routines that crashed and the rest went fine.

Hi Inge,

Can you create a pre-process (replace -c with -E) file then provide it to us along with your command line options?

Thanks,

Viet Hoang

Dear Viet Hoang,
I attached the precompiled version of the file, where should I put it?
I don't know whether attaching it worked.

Regards
Inge Gutheil

Hi Inge,

I think got your pre-process file. Can you please provide me a full list of your command line options? and also run "icc -V" then give us the output.

Hi Inge,

Please ignore my previous note. I am able to reproduce it with just -O2. 

Thanks for reporting this issue. 

Thanks,

Seems like this is a known issue and has been fixed in our nightly compiler.
