Signal 11 to try compile with aCC 3.37 on HP-UX 11.0

Manuel Plaza — Tue, 21 Feb 2006 11:52:35 GMT

Hi all,
When we try to compile with aCC 3.37 on a K370 server with HP-UX 11.0 we obtain this error:
Error (system problem) 689: # Compiler received signal 11

Somebody could help us ?

Thanks in advance

Signal 11 is a segmentation violation. It is possible that this could be caused by maxssiz being too small especially if running with the default maxssiz of 8MB. I would increase it to 32MB but no more than 64MB. This may fix you but this could well be a compiler bug. 3.37 is very old. You should really install a later compiler along with any cumulative patches. You should find aCC on your latest Application CD's.

We have maxssiz established in 96 Mb and we are using 3.37 due to requisites of an application.

You need to install PHSS_28756 and probably PHSS_28594. This will patch 3.37 upto 3.45 and does fix a SIGSEGV problem. It's been my experience that newer compiler releases work with software packages and you should view the 3.37 version as a minimum required version for your software. In any event, your compiler is broken and this appears to be the only viable fix. By the way, a 96MB stack (even in 64-bit land) would only be required by very poorly written software. 32MB-64MB is very generous.

There are two main causes for compiler getting Sig 11. One is that the compiler uses-up stack space beyond maxssize (or other kernel parameters). Other possibility is that its a compiler defect.

Can you provide us a reduced testcase or a preprocessed file (use -E -.i option)?

Thanks!

We have instaled the last version of aCC, 3.67 and the error persists.
We have discovered that the problem is the use of the pragma VERSIONID and option -E.
HP says that is a bug of the compiler.
Thanks for your answers.
