FIX: 32K Structure in Common Block: F2379 Crossing Segment PSS ID Number: Q69958 Article last modified on 07-19-1994
5.00 | 5.00
MS-DOS | OS/2
| The information in this article applies to: |
| - Microsoft FORTRAN for MS-DOS, version 5.0 - Microsoft FORTRAN for OS/2, version 5.0 |
SYMPTOMS
Using Microsoft FORTRAN version 5.00 to compile a program that has a structure that is greater than or equal to 32K bytes in a common block results in the error:
error F2379: item in common block crosses segment
This error should not occur unless the structure is greater than or equal to 64K bytes in size.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the products listed above. This problem was corrected in FORTRAN, version 5.10.
MORE INFORMATION
The following program generates the error:
Sample code
common /cblock/ struct1
structure /test/
integer*1 arr1(32768)
end structure
record /test/ struct1
struct1.arr1 = 1.0
end
Additional reference words: 5.00
