What is link RDATA warning?

[john3]

My IVF 9.1 WinXP solution comprised of a C library, a Fortran library and the main project (all inside the VS solution) gives the following link warning:

Linking...
libifcore.lib(for_rseq_lis.obj) : warning LNK4078: multiple '_RDATA' sections found with different attributes (40301040)

The link also involves the Intel 8.1 MKL libraries as well as the F95 blas and lapack libraries.

Code runs fine but am curious as to what this warning means and how to fix it.

Thanks.

We have some other reports of this - it seems to be related to using MKL. As far as we can tell, the warning is benign and can be ignored. The MKL team is investigating, but for now, I suggest you can simply ignore the warning. If you want to eliminate the message, add the linker option /ignore:4078.

If you'd like to report this to Intel Premier Support, which I would recommend if for no other reason that you'll be informed of progress, please mention T59556-CP (our internal ID for this issue.)

I just got this warning (4078) with ivf 10.1.013 and mkl 10.0.1.015. Looks like I'll have to rollback mkl.

Gerry,

The warning appears to be harmless, but I suggest asking in the MKL forum about it (or better, submit an issue against MKL to Intel Premier Support.)
