BUG: Browser Treats Interface to Function as a Subprogram

 Last reviewed: July 13, 1995
Article ID: Q109999
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft FORTRAN PowerStation for MS-DOS, version 1.0 and 1.0a
  • Microsoft FORTRAN PowerStation 32 for Windows NT, version 1.0

SYMPTOMS

When using the INTERFACE TO extension in a FORTRAN PowerStation application, the Browser treats the INTERFACE statement as a function definition.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in FORTRAN PowerStation 32 for Windows NT and MS-DOS, version 1.0. and 1.0A We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

MORE INFORMATION

In the following example, lineto is listed twice in the Browser database. While this is inconvenient when searching for the function, it does not affect the behavior of your FORTRAN program.

Sample Code

      INTERFACE TO FUNCTION lineto(x,y)
      INTEGER*2 lineto[C,ALIAS:'__lineto'],x,y
      END
