64 bit debugging not working

RobP — Thu, 29 May 2014 23:48:56 GMT

I'm using Intel Visual Fortran Composer XE 2013 SP1 Update 3 and debugging in Visual Studio 2013 Update 2's IDE with this simple program:

    program Console1

    implicit none

    ! Variables
    integer(4) testInt
    ! Body of Console1
    print *, 'Hello World'
    testInt = 7
    end program Console1

When the EXE for this program is compiled with the "IA 32" (the Win32 platform) ifort compiler, the debugging works as expected. The watch on `testInt` changes from a random value to 7.

But, when I use the "Intel (R) 64" (the x64 platform) compiler by setting the project to the x64 platform, the debugger will stop at correct break points. But the watch on `testInt` reports "Undefined address" instead of 7.

What's going on here? How can I enable correct debugging for 64 bit Fortran compilations? This is interfering with COM Server development where the COM client and server must be 64-bit.

In the Locals window, what

In the Locals window, what does the "Type" of TESTINT show as? There is not anything special you need to do to enable 64-bit debugging. Are you sure this is a Debug configuration?

In 32 bit, TESTINT is an

RobP — Fri, 30 May 2014 01:18:00 GMT

In 32 bit, TESTINT is an INTEGER(4) in the Locals window.
In 64 bit, the "Type" column is empty, and the value is "Undefined Address."

I'm as sure as I can be that it's a Debug configuration. Optimizations are off (/Od) and /debug:full is on.

Linker is set flagged /DEBUG:

Steven_L_Intel1 — Fri, 30 May 2014 01:25:33 GMT

Try an uninstall and reinstall of Fortran and see if that helps. If not, I'll suggest other things to try. I don't recall hearing of this particular symptom before.

I've done that already. The

I've done that already. The symptom didn't change.

I can reproduce this after

Steven_L_Intel1 — Fri, 30 May 2014 18:23:17 GMT

I can reproduce this after installing VS2013 Update 2. Escalated to development as issue DPD200257062. Right now the only thing I can think of is to revert to VS2013 Update 1.

You can uninstall Update 2 in

Steven_L_Intel1 — Fri, 30 May 2014 19:36:17 GMT

You can uninstall Update 2 in Programs and Features > View Installed Updates. If you do that, x64 debugging will return. I'll let you know when I find out more about the problem.

That worked with the toy

RobP — Sat, 31 May 2014 23:48:00 GMT

That worked with the toy program I used. I'll try it now with the COM Server.

There are upgrade features in Update 2 that I absolutely now need for other development. Is the issue flagged as connected to my Premier account?

No, it isn't connected to

Steven_L_Intel1 — Sun, 01 Jun 2014 01:05:12 GMT

No, it isn't connected to your Premier account. Please enter a Premier issue about this and ask that it be assigned to me. I'll take care of it from there.

I have the same problem. Can I be notified when a solution is available?

The developers fixed the

Steven_L_Intel1 — Wed, 11 Jun 2014 13:35:30 GMT

The developers fixed the problem, the fix should appear in update 4. I had asked the developers if they'd be willing to make the fix available separately for affected users, but have not heard back from them. I will ping them on this.

I've received the fix and

Steven_L_Intel1 — Wed, 11 Jun 2014 15:29:50 GMT

I've received the fix and tested it. I've already provided it to Robert through Intel Premier Support. Karen, please open an Intel Premier Support issue on this and ask that it be assigned to me, and I'll get you the fix as well. FWIW, the fix also seems to work with the beta 2015 compiler install.

OK; I'll apply Update 2 to VS2013 and then the DLL.

Karen, if you tell me the issue number once you have it, I can get to it faster.

Karen_K_1 — Wed, 11 Jun 2014 21:12:20 GMT

I can't seem to submit an issue on Premier Support. No matter what I try on Step 1 "Select Product & Contact" I can't get to the next step. If I enter the product name and hit the Search button nothing happens, if I hit the Next button nothing happens. If I click the "Browse Products" link a window pops up but no products are listed. Is there something I am doing wrong?

Karen, I'll send you a private message to try to help you.

Hi Steve,

Hi Steve,

I wish I had discovered this thread before wasting time on VS2013 update 2! Will Composer XE update 4 be released soon?

Cheers, Geoff
