Compile::cplist: error from MapThread

Question

What is the cause of this error?

Compile[{{r, _Integer, 2}, {d, _Integer, 2}},
  pos = Position[MapThread[#1 > #2 &, {r, d}, 2], x_ /; x == True]]

Compile::cplist: MapThread[#1 > #2&, {r, d}, 2] should be a tensor of type Integer, Real, or Complex; evaluation will use the uncompiled function. >>

The error message tells you: the virtual machine does not support registers of tensor boolean type. See this related question. — Oleksandr R., Jan 09 '16 at 21:11
Thanks @OleksandrR. I will trying it without MapThread, and threading it by a loop. — jack cilba, Jan 10 '16 at 05:54
Whichever method you attempt to use to produce a boolean list will fail in the VM, unfortunately, since this simply does not exist as a type. Perhaps, as in the linked question, you could produce a list of 1s and 0s instead of Trues and Falses? — Oleksandr R., Jan 10 '16 at 09:32
Yes actually I have problem yet, there is some problem with ">" Greater , Also. @OleksandrR. MapThread is not the core of problem, I used it with Compile before. — jack cilba, Jan 10 '16 at 11:31
I know. Seriously, please read the linked thread in detail. It discusses the very same problem as you're facing, and Andy Ross's answer tells you what to do about it. — Oleksandr R., Jan 10 '16 at 11:53
Thanks very much after some hours trying eventually it solved. as it came in down @OleksandrR. — jack cilba, Jan 10 '16 at 12:11

Compile[{{r, _Integer, 2}, {d, _Integer, 2}},
 a = Position[Sign@MapThread[#1 - #2 &, {r, d}], 1]
 ]

when there is some error from using map in compile, with adding IntegerPart@ to the list that will be map, the error will not occur again. but why? – jack cilba Jan 11 '16 at 21:41
Regarding your comment, probably the compiler cannot tell what type the list will be and is expecting an Integer array. You can often fix this by using a third argument in Compile; see the documentation for details. Post a new question with a minimal self-contained example if you need help. – Mr.Wizard Feb 03 '16 at 12:40
