The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft FORTRAN PowerStation for MS-DOS 1.0
This article was previously published under Q106725
SYMPTOMS
The FORTRAN PowerStation optimizer may generate incorrect code when compiling routines containing alternate returns. If routines containing alternate returns are compiled with /Ox, the following errors may occur at run time:
RESOLUTION
Altering code around the alternate return may alleviate this problem. If this doesn't work, then do not compile routines using alternate returns with /Ox. Note that other routines in the program can still be optimized.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in FORTRAN PowerStation version 1.0 for MS-DOS. This problem has been resolved with FORTRAN PowerStation maintenance release version 1.0A for MS-DOS.
MORE INFORMATION
To duplicate the error, compile the sample code with /Ox and then run the program to get the DX1020 error. This problem is dependent on the surrounding code. Replacing "var=1.0" with "continue", or commenting out "goto 10" in the sample below removes the problem:
FORTRAN PowerStation version 1.0 can be differentiated from the maintenance release version 1.0A by invoking the linker. Typing link32 | more from /F32/BIN directory will show version 2.8 for FORTRAN Powerstation maintenance release version 1.0A for MS-DOS."
Sample Code
call test(*10,*20)
10 var=1.0
20 if (var.ne.0) return
goto 10
end
subroutine test(*,*)
return 1
end
