Any hope for CVF internal compiler error?

lklawrie1 · ‎03-13-2005

We've started getting an internal compiler error with CVF 6.6C.

It appears to be related to inline initialization of a derived type. (i.e., we take that out and it goes away).

It's error C5

Might this have a known work around? I'm sure it's not going to be fixed.

That is an access violation error. You can try writing to vf-support@compaq.com and see if you get a response.

Linda,

Are you sure of the cause? And is it repeatable? Weoccasionally get 'internal compiler errors' that are solved by restarting Visual Studio or adding / removing a blank line or two from the problem source file.

Admittedly, they aren't so prevalent with CVF 6.6C as they were with previous versions, but I've still seen them.

Thanks, Steve and Dan.

I sent a message to vf-support -- got the usual standard reply.

we know how to get the compiler to accept it -- just take off the inits for one derived type. or even one developer said it only crashes after assigning the 5th (or maybe the 6th) in that type.

So, it's not a show stopper -- just an annoyance.

How does it work in Intel Fortran? I know you have that.

No problem in Intel Fortran. I'm using that for my major parts of development but many of the others are still with CVF.

Hey, hey. Not only did they reply to me, I actually got a query this morning for a small build that duplicated the problem.

Even better, as I was trying to make it, I figured out the problem!

In short, one of the "data only" modules had included a public module that should only be used in several of our modules, not propagated throughout the entire code. That "seems" to have been causing the problem.

Mostly, our routine modules (modules that contain routines) are "private" except for one or two public routines.... But we have a couple where, for limited use, the entire module and routines are exposed publicly.
