Select CASE IVF vs CVF debugging differences

Les_Neilson — Thu, 16 Mar 2006 17:16:33 GMT

Whendebugging in the VSIDE, and single stepping through Fortran code which has a Select CASE construct I've noticed that in CVF the debug jumps straight to the CASE option required, but IVF goes to each CASE test in turn till it finds the required option. Is this real or am I just imagining it? I have several routines which have lots of CASE options and single stepping takes a while and gives me RSI pressing F10 so many times :-)

Please send an example demonstrating this to Intel Premier Support. We'll check it out.

Les,

I too am particularly annoyed by the select case single stepping issue. I could see the purpose of the step by step situation if the case clauses were complicated. However, this aggrivationoccures as well when the cases are all integers in sequence (e.g. from an enum).

Also, I think it is silly to be asked to submit an example for a situation as simple as this.

My 2 cents

Steve,

I have submitted a small project I used to replicate the problem,to premier support. Issue number 359062

It may seem silly to you, but I have seen many cases where the user's description was not adequate to reproduce the problem. It saves everyone time and aggravation to attach an example rather than asking the support engineer to write their own.
