Oracle Studio 12.5/12.6 constexpr assertion when compiling ICU 64.1

rwave2000

Oracle Studio 12.6 produces an Assertion in ../lnk/constexpr.cc when compiling ICU 64.1.

I have reduced it down to the following t.cpp:

static constexpr char16_t kFallbackPaddingString[] = u" ";

$ CC -V && CC -std=c++11 -c t.cppCC: Studio 12.6 Sun C++ 5.15 SunOS_i386 2017/05/30 >> Assertion:   (../lnk/constexpr.cc, line 875)    while processing t.cpp at line 1.

Verified it doesn't fail with Oracle Studio 12.4 or gcc 4.8 .

Hello!

This problem has been fixed in the latest patch, so updating your compiler will help:

$ cat b.cc

    static constexpr char16_t kFallbackPaddingString[] = u" ";

$ CC -g  a.cc -std=c++11 -V

Are those patches available somewhere for Solaris 10?

Maxim Kartashev-Oracle

Yes, all patches for Studio are made available both for Solaris 11 and 10. Patches for Solaris 10 can be downloaded through MOS (support.oracle.com). You'll need a support contract to do that.
