Hey.

I'm getting this error.

How do I fix it?

Seems you know it exists.

Any hints?

Thanks,
Mark

There was an issue in the older compiler when using the Vista. If you upgrade to the newer compiler, it should be fixed.

For this type of question, please post to out C++ Forum - http://software.intel.com/en-us/forums/intel-c-compiler.

Same here - have no idea what to do...

3>Compiling with Intel(R) C++ Compiler 11.1.049 [Intel(R) 64]... (Intel C++ Environment)
3>.\EditSecurityExchanges.cpp(9): catastrophic error: unable to obtain mapped memory (see pch_diag.txt)
3> IMPLEMENT_DYNAMIC(CEditSecurityExchanges, CPropertyPage)

3>compilation aborted for .\EditSecurityExchanges.cpp (code 4)

Could you at least remove the (see pch_diag.txt) text - or store a copy of this file somewhere.
Funny thing: Works for the 'RELEASE' environment

System is Vista-64/VS 2008

The pch_diag.txt is located at the .vcproj directory or the current directory. If you could send us a testcase through the C++ Forum, it would be great.

Thanks!

I'm getting this error too (with Windows XP Professional SP3 and Intel(R) C++ Compiler 11.1.061 [IA-32])

I've looked for the pch_diag.txt - eventually did a full disk search - the file doesn't seem to exist.

I'm getting this error when I try to compile one our substantial libraries (Compiles under VS 8 compiler OK, but was too large for the VS2005 - we had to split it then) - if I compile files one by one, they compile OK, if I try a general build, I get this error - not on the same file each time.

Having compiled each file, it then refuses to link (no error, just doesn't do anything.) If I try to build, it attempts to recompile - and I get the error again.

If there's anything I can send to help with diagnosing this issue, please let me know.

Thanks,

Richard

Hi ragster,
Could you post this to the C++ Forum? I have something for you to try, but would prefer to use a private thread that is only available for Forum posting.

Thanks,
Jennifer

removing /YX switch got rid of this error for me...

In my case, change /Yu flag to /Yc.
If you are using Visual Studio, open the Property dialog, change the value of the item "C/C++ -> Precompiled Headers -> Create/Use Precompiled Header" to "Create Precompiled Headers (/Yc)".

Greetings,

@Daniel Droste:
You are probably using wxWidgets, I have this error when I compile 64-bit version of library, with my adjusted settings ("extra-hard-optimizations").

@Jennifer Jiang (Intel):
I can send You BuildLog.htm for you to see my compiler settings for wxWidgets.

The issue is only present when I use x64 compilation with my "extra-hard-optimizations" but not when using x86 /QxHOST profile with my "extra-hard-optimizations".

When I disable "precompiled heareds" (remove /Yc or /Yu), as @"whmoweryjr (at ) yahoo.com" and @George suggested, it is all fine.

version: "Intel(R) C++ 11.1.038 [Intel(R) 64]"

@Jennifer Jiang (Intel):
could You please give me a pointer to the right forum thread where I could post my BuildLog.htm + URL for download wxWidgets library? (It's GPL'ed so URL should not violate rules...).

Hi Marian,
The C++ forum is at "http://software.intel.com/en-us/forums/intel-c-compiler".

You can create a new thread with the build log. It would be nice to have a testcase.

Thank you!
Jennifer

Just started getting this error message as well with 11.1.046 on Vista Ultimate after adding the /Qopenmp flag to a build (haven't actually put in any openMP directives/code yet).

Project builds fine if I use either /Qopenmp or /Yu but using both gives me the error.
