In my code, I had inadvertently place a CALL to a WINAPI function (showwindow), rather than a function reference. I included "USE MSWIN" in the function that referenced the API.

There was no error or warning. The effect on the code was to make it all wonky (only way I can describe it). The callbacks did not work for the %rd it was tied to, and only clicking on the upper right "X" would close the window.

I am wondering if perhaps, somewhere, I have something similar that is making my use of HELP all messed up.

But, it seems like the compiler should find this kind of problem.

Can you provide a short demo program that illustrates the problem?

The following code will generate one warning (i_log is never used), no errors.

Code:
   winapp
    program cmain
   use mswin
   logical :: i_log
    i_log = showwindow(0,SW_HIDE)
    end
    integer function button1()
    use mswin
    call showwindow(0,SW_RESTORE)
    button1 = 1
    return
    end

A call to ShowWindow(0,SW_HIDE) (with zero as the first argument) might be unfortunate. I don't know what it might do and I would not want to find out by testing it. A NULL value for the HWND might even default to the desktop.

Paul, this only shows no compiler error is generated.

I have been working on the "wonky" case, but could not replicate with a short example. I'll try a slight change to see if providing a real handle could help show the issue.

Paul, wahorger,

I observed this, too, for I use the SALFORD compiler and INTEL 64 bit compiler for the same code base: the INTEL 64 bit compiler creates an error, if using call with respect to a function, whereas the SALFORD compiler does not complain.

Maybe I missed the point here.

If you CALL a function like ShowWindow, that is a FUNCTION rather than a SUBROUTINE then FTN95 does not complain. At run time the returned value is simply discarded.

You will find this is also true for the C++ compiler SCC but here it is clearly accepted in the C++ Standard.

I suspect that the Fortran Standard makes no comment on this. If it does then please let me know.

Paul clarified that:

... so, the function is executed but with no return value.
Shouldn't this be corrected because although the function is executed you might have coded something which depends on the return value ! ?
