Release Information
What problems have been fixed in release 6.2?
Each release of the PGI compilers brings a number of technical corrections to problems discovered by PGI and by users. Problems found can be emailed directly to PGI Technical Support or submitted through the web-based Support Request form. PGI refers to all such reports as Technical Problem Reports, or TPRs.
The following table is a list of most, but not all, of the problems being addressed in the next release. Descriptions as provided may be incomplete due to proprietary nature of the sample code. In such cases simple replacement examples may not be available.
Note: ICE stands for Internal Compiler Error.
