Whats an INTERNAL COMPILER ERROR?
If it’s not obvious to you, compilers are software. Sometimes they will run into problems and crash, just like any other application. Other times, they will detect a problem and give up. In such cases, you will get some sort of diagnostic, probably saying that the compiler has detected an internal compiler error. Usually you should contact your vendor about such an error. Too though, the diagnostic may give you information about the line of code which caused the error, and you may or may not be able to figure out a work around from there. Here’s some situations which may be the indirect cause of the internal error: • Run out of disk space, or something wrong with the drive. • Run out of swap space • Run out of RAM • Some bad RAM chips (perhaps in upper memory) • Your system may be out of other resources, like file handles. • There may be some misbehaving application. with some of these being dependent upon your operating system, etc. Here’s some additional points to consider: • Reboot
