LI77240: INTERNAL SIGNAL ERROR FROM IPA

February 2013 Update for XL Fortran for Blue Gene/Q, V14.1

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When compiling at high optimization using IPA, the compiler is
  encountering an internal signal error.  When using the AIX
  compiler, the error outputs:
  
  
  Calling signal handler...
    Trap encountered in IPA:
    SIGSEGV - Segmentation violation
  
    Traceback:
  
    Offset 0x00000008 leftmost
    Offset 0x00000514 malloc_y
    Offset 0x00000014 malloc_common_79_63
  xlf: 1501-224 (S) fatal error in ipa64: signal 11 received
  
  
  When using the compiler in a Linux environment, the error
  outputs:
  
  
  *** glibc detected *** ipa: realloc():
     invalid next size: 0x00000000394532b0 ***
  
  Calling signal handler...
    Trap encountered in IPA:

Local fix

• Do not use -qipa
  

Problem summary

• PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
  Compiler internal error in IPA component of the compiler.
  
  USERS AFFECTED:
  Users of high levels of optimization, and -qipa
  

Problem conclusion
