▁some file . cpp : 2 4 : ▁parse ▁error ▁before ▁` something ' ▁ ▁This ▁could ▁mean ▁that ▁a ▁semi - colon ▁is ▁missing ▁at ▁the ▁end ▁of ▁the ▁previous ▁statement . ▁ ▁In ternal ▁Comp iler ▁Error s ▁ ▁An ▁internal ▁compiler ▁error ▁( comm only ▁abbre vi ated ▁as ▁I CE ) ▁is ▁an ▁error ▁that ▁occurs ▁not ▁due ▁to ▁err one ous ▁source ▁code , ▁but ▁rather ▁due ▁to ▁a ▁bug ▁in ▁the ▁compiler ▁itself . ▁They ▁can ▁sometimes ▁be ▁worked ▁around ▁by ▁making ▁small , ▁ins ign ific ant ▁changes ▁to ▁the ▁source ▁code ▁around ▁the ▁line ▁indicated ▁by ▁the ▁error ▁( if ▁such ▁a ▁line ▁is ▁indicated ▁at ▁all ), ▁but ▁sometimes ▁larger ▁changes ▁must ▁be ▁made , ▁such ▁as ▁refactor ing ▁the ▁code , ▁to ▁avoid ▁certain ▁construct s . ▁Using ▁a ▁different ▁compiler ▁or ▁different ▁version ▁of ▁the ▁compiler ▁may ▁solve ▁the ▁issue ▁and ▁be ▁an ▁acceptable ▁solution ▁in ▁some ▁cases . ▁When ▁an ▁internal ▁compiler ▁error ▁is ▁reached ▁many ▁comp ilers ▁do ▁not ▁output ▁a ▁standard ▁error , ▁but ▁instead ▁output ▁a ▁short ened ▁version , ▁with ▁additional ▁files ▁attached , ▁which ▁are ▁only ▁provided ▁for ▁internal ▁compiler ▁errors . ▁This ▁is ▁in ▁order ▁to ▁ins ure ▁that ▁the ▁program ▁doesn ' t ▁crash ▁when ▁logging ▁the ▁error , ▁which ▁would ▁make ▁solving ▁the ▁error ▁n igh ▁impossible . ▁The ▁additional ▁files ▁attached ▁for ▁internal ▁compiler ▁errors ▁usually ▁have ▁special ▁formats ▁that ▁they ▁save ▁as , ▁such ▁as ▁. dump ▁for ▁Java . ▁These
