Error compiling ROOT 5.16.00 with icc 10.0

exaos · July 6, 2007, 1:10am

I just tried the lastest icc 10.0.025 to compile 5.16.00, but I got the following error message:

bin/rmkdepend -R -fbase/src/InitGui.d -Y -w 1000 -- -fPIC -wd1476 -Iinclude -DR__HAVE_CONFIG -wd1572 -pthread -D__cplusplus -- base/src/InitGui.cxx
icc -O -fPIC -wd1476 -Iinclude -DR__HAVE_CONFIG -wd1572 -pthread -DUSEPCH -include precompile.h -pch-use include/precompile.pchi -o base/src/InitGui.o -c base/src/InitGui.cxx
"base/src/InitGui.cxx": using precompiled header file "include/precompile.pchi"
(0): internal error: backend signals

compilation aborted for base/src/InitGui.cxx (code 4)
make: *** [base/src/InitGui.o] Error 4

I have no idea about this error.
PS. Compiling 5.16.00 with icc 9.1 is OK.

I am using Intel 10.0.018 (latest version on Mac OS X) on ROOT v5.16.00 with no problems. From the error message it looks to be an internal compiler error. The InitGui.cxx file is basically empty so there cannot be much the compiler cannot handle. Could you try:

icc -O -fPIC -wd1476 -Iinclude -DR__HAVE_CONFIG -wd1572 -pthread -o base/src/InitGui.o -c base/src/InitGui.cxx

Cheers, Fons.

Hi

I am using also icc 10.0.025 and see the same error for ROOT 5.14.00.
This looks like a memory managment problem of icc. There is already an error posted to intel concerning a similar problem
(softwarecommunity.intel.com/isn/ … 35218.aspx)

A workaround is to run “make” again after the error. Doing so the build process goes on with the same file which causes the problem and may or may not crash at a later stage. Sometimes i have to rerun make up to 5 times.

Ciao

I have also ran into this problem and I fixed it by changing
ENABLEPCH := no

in config/Makefile.config

Also, when compiling root, there are a lot of warnings about operator new not having corresponding delete. And I guess because of this rootcint ( and compiled programs , that use root as well) crash on exit every time there is an object created with new and not deleted explicitly.

for example

[ardashev@legsux8 macros]$ root -n
root [0] TBrowser* br = new TBrowser;
root [1] .q

The program is running. Quit anyway (and detach it)? (y or n) [answered Y; input not from terminal]
Detaching from program: /proc/5947/exe, process 5947
Root >

COMPARE TO:

[ardashev@legsux8 macros]$ root -n
root [0] TBrowser* br = new TBrowser;
root [1] delete br;
root [2] .q

Definetely, memory management is not taken care of properly in root. And gcc is just more forgiving.

The problem that you report with TBrowser hs been fixed in 5.17 several weeks ago.

I looked quickly to your warning file. Most of the messages reported by icc
are not correct.
