BUG: MATHERRQQ() Complex Result Variable Not Used

ID: Q150128

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Fortran PowerStation for Windows 95 and Windows NT, version 4.0

SYMPTOMS

When you use the MATHERRQQ() run-time subroutine to handle complex number math errors and you input a return value into either the C8RES or the C16RES function result variables, members of the MTH$E_INFO data structure, the value is not returned to the calling function that created the math error.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Problem

Build and run the sample code listed below. The program prompts you for the desired function result when the complex math error is encountered. When you type in a value for the desired function result, the value is not returned to clog().

Sample Code


! Compile options needed: /MT

      PROGRAM COMPLX
      COMPLEX(4) c1, c2 /(0.0, 0.0)/ 
      c1 = clog(c2)

      WRITE(*, *) c1
      END PROGRAM COMPLX

      SUBROUTINE MATHERRQQ( name, length, info, retcode)
      USE MSFLIB
      INTEGER(2) length, retcode
      CHARACTER(length) name
      RECORD /MTH$E_INFO/ info
      PRINT *, "Entered MATHERRQQ"
      PRINT *, "Failing function is: ", name
      PRINT *, "Error type is: ", info.errcode
      IF((info.ftype==TY$CMPLX8).OR.(info.ftype==TY$CMPLX16)) THEN
        PRINT *, "Type: COMPLEX"
        PRINT *, "Enter the desired function result: "
        READ(*,*) info.c16res
        retcode = 1
      END IF
      END
