SYMPTOMS
When a huge array is allocated and passed to a subroutine, the compiler generates the warning:

warning F4605: FAR formal argument 1 : passed HUGE array

This is despite a HUGE attribute on the formal argument of the subroutine.



RESOLUTION
The only way to suppress this warning is to compile with the /AH option or to use an interface statement (as commented out in the code below).



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the products listed above.

This is not an issue in FORTRAN PowerStation, since the HUGE attribute is not supported.



MORE INFORMATION
The following code can be used to reproduce the problem:

Sample code
c     interface to subroutine suba(x,n) c     real x[huge] c     integer n c      end

real y[allocatable,huge]

n = 40000 allocate(y(n),stat=ierror)

call suba(y,n) end

subroutine suba(x[huge],n) real x

end
