Assertion error on solarisstudio12.3 C++ compiler

Question

Hi
We are moving our C++ compiler version from CC: Sun C++ 5.9 SunOS_sparc Patch 124863-01 2007/07/25 to solarisstudio12.3 version of compiler and when we compile following C++ file using the command
/opt/solarisstudio12.3/bin/CC -O4 -features=no%conststrings -template=no%extdef -xcode=pic32 -mt -m64 -xlibmieee -znocompstrtab -DGENERATED_BUILD_CPP -DBUILD_MODE_RO -DDM_USE_STL -DCORBA_TAO -DBITS64 -DSOLARIS -D_POSIX_PTHREAD_SEMANTICS -DSOLARIS_BITS64 -DCORBA_TAO -D_MBCS -DDLLIMPORT -D_LIB -D__MT__ -DI2_TAO_SOL -DACE_HAS_EXCEPTIONS -DSMARTHEAP -DSOLTHREADS -D__solaris -DSol210 -I. -I../utils -I../Basic -I../idls -I../Init -I../Comp -I../cont -I../../../TAO/TAO-1.5/ACE_wrappers -I../../../TAO/TAO-1.5/ACE_wrappers/TAO -I../../../TAO/TAO-1.5/ACE_wrappers/TAO/orbsvcs -I/opt/7.8-stack/SmartHeap_8.1smp/include -o expreval.o -c expreval.cpp
Its giving assertion error

When compiling the same file with our existing compiler version CC: Sun C++ 5.9 SunOS_sparc Patch 124863-01 2007/07/25 it compiles fine with following warnings

Hi
I was able to find a work around for this assertion failure
For some reason Solaris compiler was having problem parsing following Valid C++ statement
typedef union
Double numVal;
UInt32 nodeInd;
UInt32 symInd;
UInt32 strInd;
Bool boolVal;
} yy_Parser_m_stype;
So change the above statement to
Union Parser_m_stype
Double numVal;
UInt32 nodeInd;
UInt32 symInd;
UInt32 strInd;
Bool boolVal;
Typedef Parser_m_stype yy_Parser_m_stype;
This worked :-)
Thanks for all the help
