oneApi 2021.4 xilink: : error : Assertion failed (shared/driver/drvutils.c line 312)

[SergOvcharenko]

Using newly installed oneAPI 2021.4 + VisualStudio 16.11.3.

Create new project - Console App -

#include <iostream>

int main() {std::cout << "Hello World!\n";}

After rebuilding I get:

Rebuild started...
1>------ Rebuild All started: Project: xilink, Configuration: Debug Win32 ------
1>xilink: : error : Assertion failed (shared/driver/drvutils.c, line 312)
1>Done building project "xilink.vcxproj" -- FAILED.

Tried on many other projects, x32 and x64, other VS versions - the error is the same.

I have found workaround - I copied file xilink.exe  from older version 2021.2 to 2021.4 folder - and linking start working!

C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\oneAPI\compiler\2021.2.0\windows\bin\intel64\xilink.exe  

was copied to

C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\oneAPI\compiler\2021.4.0\windows\bin\intel64\xilink.exe  

(and intel64_ia32 was copied too..)

Thanks, but could anyone provide a solution if I don't want to reverse to the previous oneAPI

Hi,

Thanks for reaching out to us.

Could you please let us know which compiler you are using?

Thanks & Regards

I am using Intel oneAPI DPC++/C++ Compiler.
I create new project "Console App", then switch from MS compiler to Intel in Visual Studio menu: Project - Intel Compiler.
There are another possibility while creating project in VS - "DPC++ Console Application" - it is working fine.
But switching compiler for "MS created project" from MS to Intel compiler give xilink error "Assertion failed"

Steps-to-reproduce the error:
1. On hyper-v host - new virtual mashine - fresh Windows 10 20h2 x64 + all updates + no any other installations.
2. Installation VisualStudio 2019 Community from visualstudio.microsoft.com/ru/downloads/ - with only one checkbox "Desktop development with C++" selected.
3. Installation oneApi w_BaseKit_p_2021.4.0.3421_offline - recommended Installation

4. Start VS - Create new project - "Console App. Run code in a Windows terminal. Prints Hello World by default. C++ Windows Console"

5. VS Menu - Build - Build Solution - (MS Compiler!!!) - Build: 1 succeeded
6. VS Menu - Project - Intel Compiler - Use Intel oneAPI DPC++/C++ Compiler
after changing compiler from MS to Intel:
VS menu - Build - Build Solution -
Output window:
Build started...
1>------ Build started: Project: ConsoleApplication1, Configuration: Debug Win32 ------
1>xilink: : error : Assertion failed (shared/driver/drvutils.c, line 312)
1>Done building project "ConsoleApplication1.vcxproj" -- FAILED.
========== Build: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========

7. Steps-to-reproduce workaround:
7.1. Copy file xilink.exe previous version 2021.2.0.0, size 2.39MB, Date midified 2/27/2021 9:19PM to folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\oneAPI\compiler\2021.4.0\windows\bin\intel64 and replace existing version of that file 2021.4.
7.2. VS Menu - Build - Build Solution - Build: 1 succeeded

It is escalated to the development team and should be fixed. Thank you for reporting it.

As a workaround you can copy a file clang.exe (by default it is located in C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\oneAPI\compiler\latest\windows\bin) to the folder with xilink (for x64 configuration it is in C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\oneAPI\compiler\latest\windows\bin\intel64).
