composerxe-2011 update 6 internal error

[Mike_Glass]

Using the composer_xe_2011_sp1.6.233 C++ compiler on the following code snippet gives an internal error

const double** GetGaussPnts() {
static const double xi = 0.5;
static const double *pxi = ξ
return &pxi;
}

$ icpc -c -o zsal.o zsal.C
(0): internal error: backend signals

compilation aborted for zsal.C (code 4)

We have been able to compile this code that this snippet came from with Intel 11.1 and 12.0 compilers along with gnu, pgi, pathscale, and xlc compilers.

This is a compiler bug as well. I'll report it right now.

One workaround is to move the "xi" static const to the global space.
Another workaround is to use "-O0" for this one file.

Thanks.

FYI, I also tried compiling this with composerxe-2011 update 7 and got the same error.
