Environment :

Boost libraries version 1.40.0 for linux*
Intel C++ Compiler for linux, version 11.1.046

Root Cause :
Need initializer for const variable cache defined in file cpp_re2c_lexer.hpp, line 107. Refer this article http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/cdiag409 for details.

Resolution :
This error no longer occurs with the Intel® C++ Compiler 11.1.059 for Linux*.  As a workaround as well, you can add an initializer for the const variable cache in file boost/wave/cpplexer/re2clex/cpp_re2c_lexer.hpp. For example:

template <typename IteratorT, typename PositionT>
inline
lexer<IteratorT, PositionT>::lexer(IteratorT const &first, 
IteratorT const &last, PositionT const &pos, 
boost::wave::language_support language_) 
: filename(pos.get_file()), at_eof(false), language(language_),cache(token_cache< typename lexer < IteratorT, PositionT >::string_type >())
{
using namespace std; // some systems have memset in std
memset(&scanner, '\0', sizeof(Scanner));

The sentinel attribute is described in the GNU* documentation here: http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4.4.1/gcc/Function-Attributes.html#Function-Attributes 

It says:

A valid NULL in this context is defined as zero with any pointer type. If your system defines the NULL macro with an integer type then you need to add an explicit cast.

The GNU compiler will give a diagnostic too also if "-Wformat" is specified.

Example:

#define NULL 0

//#define NULL ((void*)0)  // this fixes the problem

int execl(const char *path, const char *arg, ...) __attribute__ ((sentinel));

int main() {
   execl("","",NULL); // warning issued here
   return 0;
}

$ icc -c diag1881.c
diag1881.c(9): warning #1881: argument must be a constant null pointer value
     execl("","",NULL); // warning issued here
                 ^

Resolution status:
Use a header file that defines NULL as a pointer type (such as stddef.h) or declare NULL correctly like:

#define NULL ((void*)0)  // this fixes the problem

Cause:

This warning is issued by the driver when you have two conflicting options on the same command line. The last one on the command line "wins".Remember that command line options can exist in makefiles and config files (i.e. icc.cfg, icpc.cfg, icl.cfg or ifort.cfg).

Example:

> icc -O3 -O2 -c foo.c
icc: command line warning #10120: overriding '-O3' with '-O2'

Resolution Status:

Look at your command line and remove the redundant flag.

The Intel(R) C++ compiler for Windows needs to know which version of the Microsoft* compiler (i.e. Microsoft Visual C++ 2003*, 2005*, 2008* etc) you are using in order to set our Microsoft compability version to emulate.

For example, there are certain Microsoft bugs that exist in the Microsoft Visual C++ 2003 compiler but were fixed in Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 that we would only emulate if you had a Microsoft Visual C++ 2003 environment (header files and libraries).

In order to do this, the icl driver looks in your path for the version of cl.exe and sets the microsoft version when it calls our compiler based upon what it finds.

Example:

Compiling any program on Windows and not having "cl.exe" somewhere in your path.

Resolution status:

Change your path environment variables to include the directories where Microsoft Visual C++ executable "cl.exe", include header files and run time libraries. Easiest way is to run Visual C++ vcvars32.bat.

Or pass the options "/Qvc[7.1|8|9]" and "/Qlocation,link,"[cl-dir]" to the icl.exe.
