APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • When compiling source containing a _Pragma preprocessing
    operator, the compiler is entering an infinite loop.  No memory
    is used, so the compile process uses CPU time without ever
    ending, or hitting ulimits.
    
        ===== TEST CASE =====
    
    _Pragma("comment(user,xyz;)")
    

Local fix

  • - Comment out _Pragma statement
    - Remove ';' from _Pragma statment
    

Problem summary

  • PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
    The xlcentry compiler component encounters an infinite loop if
    there is an unexpected semi-colon ';' in a _Pragma operator.
    
    USERS AFFECTED:
    Who use _Pragma incorrectly, or incorrectly split a string in
    the middle of a macro which expands to a _Pragma.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The infinite loop was corrected and a warning message is now
    output for incorrect _Pragma usage.
    

Temporary fix
