Am compiling some moderately complex template stuff, and with v8.27 I get

    Internal error: init 1814

whereas with v8.28 I get

    Internal error: init 1815

Obviously if I want you to be able to fix it I'll have to boil down the code (there's 900 lines of cpp, and about 2500 lines of header), but I would like to know first whether the increment in internal error is a function of a similar-sized (ie. by 1) increment in the compiler version number, or whether it is likely to be an artefact of the later compiler getting a little further before apoptosis?

Thanks

Matthew

The number is simply the line number in the source code that threw the assert. I would appreciate it if you could boil it down, in my experience about 97% of all such bugs can be reduced to 10 lines of code or less. That makes it much easier to fix. -Walter

The line number thing is a little strange because it's exactly the same code that's being compiled, just with different versions. Does one do 0-based and the other do 1-based? Surely not?

Just checked, and the source file has 847 lines. Only two headers are > 1000 lines, and only one has anything like code on or around lines 1814/5. Very odd.

I'll try and boil it down.

No, it's the line number in the compiler source.

Duh, don't I feel silly
