APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • When compiling code with the -g -O2 and -qarch=pwr8 compile
    options, the compiler encounters an internal error in the
    xlCcode component.  The error message may look similar to:
    
    1500-004: (U) INTERNAL COMPILER ERROR while compiling
    test(). Compilation ended.  Contact your Service Representative
    and provide the following information: Internal abort. For more
    information visit:

Local fix

  • Remove one of the options, or try -O3
    

Problem summary

  • PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
    When using -g debug information and optimization at the same
    time, code reorganization during code optimization may place
    debug information out of order, causing an internal error to
    occur within the compiler.
    
    USERS AFFECTED:
    Users of -g and -O, with this particularly uncommon code
    pattern.
    

Problem conclusion

  • Code reorganization for this code pattern is prevented, which
    avoids the error condition and internal compiler error.
    

Temporary fix
