Hello,
I experienced build errors shown below with the icpc version of 18.0.0 20170811.

          ": internal error: ** The compiler has encountered an unexpected problem.

** Segmentation violation signal raised. **

Access violation or stack overflow. Please contact Intel Support for assistance.

icpc: error #10014: problem during multi-file optimization compilation (code 4)

Question> Is there a workaround that I can use so that the code can pass the build with this version?

Thank you

Hi Jeff,

Can you let us know your command line options? I couldn't be able to reproduce it.

Thanks,

Hello Viet,

We don't have issues with compiling the code. The issue only happens during the link phase.

Thank you

Seems like there is an issue with IPO. If this affects only a few source files, then you can compile those files without -ipo as a workaround.

I will report this issue to our developer.
