-heap-array in VC++ IDE?

jd_weeks — Thu, 21 Sep 2006 03:30:07 GMT

I was very happy to see the -heap-array option to tell the compiler to allocate temporary arrays on the heap. That will save me a lot of trouble.

But I couldn't find this as an option within the Fortran property pages in VC++. Can it be accessed from the IDE, or do I have to use the command line to use this option?

It cannot be accessed from an IDE property page at this time. Also, the -heap_arrays switch itself doesn't work, which was unintentional.

In the IDE, you can go to the "Command Line" property page and type in the option yourself. Until the next update, use this as an alternative:

-Qoption,f,"-heap_arrays 0"

Thanks, Steve.

Right after I posted that message I discovered the command line option, and found that the option doesn't work.

Using your solution, it compiled without complaint. Now how do I verify that it actually did something? :)

If it works, your program no longer gets a stack overflow error. If it wasn't getting such an error before, then you don't need this option.

Right. I guess I was hoping I didn't have to dig up my large-problem test... :)
