FIX: Improper Debug Stepping in Routines w/ ENTRY Points

ID: Q109875

The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Fortran Powerstation 32 for Windows NT, version 1.0

SYMPTOMS

In an attempt to step into a subroutine through an entry point, the lines appear to be executed out of order. In reality they are not executed out of sequence; the sequence of events appear to be this:

  1. The first step into the entry point goes to the END statement.


  2. The second step goes to the SUBROUTINE statement.


  3. The third step goes to the first executable line in the subroutine but doesn't execute it.


  4. The fourth step goes to the END statement again.


  5. The fifth step goes to the first executable line in the entry point.


From here on the stepping and execution sequence is correct.


CAUSE

This problem is caused by the compiler putting out improper line number information for the entry point.


RESOLUTION

There is currently no work around for this problem.


STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft FORTRAN PowerStation 32 for Windows NT, version 1.0. This problem was fixed in FORTRAN PowerStation version 4.0.
