SYMPTOMS
The Microsoft FORTRAN 5.1 compiler may generate a protection violation under OS/2 or hang the machine under MS-DOS during the first pass of the compile if it compiles code that contains a recursive structure definition and an instance of that structure is declared with a RECORD statement. The code must be compiled with the /Zi option to generate the error.



RESOLUTION
Do not compile routines with recursive structure definitions with the /Zi option. Use the /Zd option to get line number and global symbol information for that routine.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in FORTRAN version 5.1. This problem was corrected in FORTRAN PowerStation, version 1.0.



MORE INFORMATION
The following code reproduces the problem (must be compiled with /Zi):

Sample code
C Compile options needed: /Zi

structure /struct/ record /struct/ recur integer i     end structure

record /struct/ mystruct end
