Empty project - error error_during_IPO_compilation: problem during multi-file optimization compilation (code 3)

[maemarcus]

Hello,

This nice error appears while compiling a project with empty source files (in attached archive) - all contents deleted. However, just clean new static library project compiles without errors. What is the reason?

Thanks.

I'd say, this is not a joke. I've just tried to show, that this error does not depend on the source code. Someone experienced such an error?

Thanks.

I don't see such a message when I build or rebuild your project. Can you attach in a ZIP/RAR the buildlog.htm from the build with the error?

Hi, Steve,

Thank you for reply,

Sounds interesting. To check the attached archive, I've just downloaded it back and rebuilt the solution. And here is the result (produced ~10 min ago) :

NH3DLib - 2 error(s), 0 warning(s)

That's it. I'm also attaching a zipped buildlog.

Which compiler version? The error is coming from xilink, the Intel pre-linker that handles the IPO option. It is always invoked for link and librarian operations. If the object file is malformed in some way (I know that past versions of the compiler would give an error if the source was empty), xilink has a history of falling over.

I don't see a problem using 10.1.024.

Well, mine is 10.1.021.
