Hello, everyone,

For Qt builds using Windows ICC got error:

which relate to recently merged Change #225048.

Reproduced for:

• builds using Windows ICC with Debug configuration,

not reproduced for:

• builds using Windows ICC with Release configuration,
• builds using mingw-w64 and MSVC.

Environment:

• Windows 10 x64,
• ICC 2018 Update 3,
• MSVC 2017 15.7.3,
• mingw-w64 x86_64 8.1.0,
• Windows SDK 10.0.17134.12,
• Qt5-dev-de191df84fbdf0f7ddaa2e5d5cb10d4a475a639f.

It was reported on Qt bugtracker (see QTBUG-68751), and Qt Developers believe it's a compiler bug.

Best,

Alexander
