Error 1017

When I try recompiling an old project to create a .dll for .NET, I get the following error for few subroutines:

'error 1017: Cannot yet process records of type force_temporary in CLR mode'

Line reference is to the sub declaration.

What does this error refer to?

This is an internal compiler error. We would need some Fortran code that generates this error in order to comment further.

Thanks Paul, I am trying to isolate the problem, since the code is composed by many routines...

I managed to reproduce the error with these lines of code:

subroutine test (avis)
real avis, alti, re, gam

alti=35785.845
re=6378.155
gam=0.1
avis=asin((1.+alti/re)*(gam))

return
end

I'm working on VS2019 with FTN95 8.70 PE. Compiler switches as follows: /DEBUG /CHECK /FULL_DEBUG /WIDE_SOURCE /STANDARD_ERROR_REPORTS /SINGLE_THREADED /FPP /CLR /CLR_VER 4

The problem seems to be related with the asin() function.

Thanks for your help.

Emanuele:

The bug is also present in Version 8.75. Here is a work-around for now.

subroutine test (avis)
real, intent(out) :: avis
real alti, re, gam, arg

alti=35785.845e0
re=6378.155
gam=0.1
arg = (1.+alti/re)*(gam)
avis=asin(arg)

return
end

Emanuele

The quick fix for this failure is to remove the brackets from (gam) on line 7...

avis=asin((1.+alti/re)*gam)

Thank you very much guys! I never would have guessed it!

I am a bit scared because potentially there can be dozens of such situations in the original code! :lol:

A curiosity: is it possible that in older versions this bug was not present?

Thanks again.

Emanuele

Yes it is quite possible that this would not have failed with earlier versions.

Quoted from Emanuele A curiosity: is it possible that in older versions this bug was not present?

The error does not occur with FTN95 7.2 (32-bit only). This finding agrees with what Paul said.

When the bug bites, you get an error message, don't you? Therefore, there is no reason to worry, unless you see some indication that an apparently successful compilation has produced bad code.
