An Internal Compiler Error (ICE) is a failure during the execution of a compiler. An ICE may be caused by both valid and invalid source code as it is a problem with the compiler, rather than a syntax error. It may be caused, for example, by incomplete support for a language feature, faulty handling of valid/invalid syntax, lack of system resources or bugs in the compiler.
