CVF 6.6C3

jackosullivan — Tue, 14 Jun 2005 05:25:14 GMT

Is there any documentation that describes the changes that have taken place between CVF 6.6B and 6.6C3? The only Release Notes that I could find pertain only to 6.6B.

Thanks very much and God bless!

Look at the edit history in the release notes. I think I updated those. The only change of consequence was fixing a bug that caused derived type variables to be incorrectly padded at the end, messing up the layout if you had arrays of them.

My memory is vague, but I could swear that it also fixes the "pointer to non-target" bug:

Code:

integer:: i(100)  !No TARGET attribute
integer, pointer:: pi(:)

pi => i

This goes by in 6.6B, and 6.6C3 correctly issues an error.

Also, I do recall having to fix some erroneous code which incorrectly passed 6.6B but 6.6C issued warnings, but don't ask me about details...

Steve and Jugoslav,

Thanks so muchfor the quick responses.

I finally did locate the 6.6C Release Notes after sneaking into the Compaq ftp site:

ftp://ftp.compaq.com/pub/products/fortran/vf/

Steve, youhad, indeed, updated them -- the only problem being that HP-Compaq did not update the link to them from their web page.

Thanks again to both of you for yourcontinued dedication and priceless, generouscontributions to thecomputing community.

God bless!

Jack

You're welcome, and I had somehow misread your question and answered about the difference between 6.6C2 and 6.6C3. Don't know what got into me. Yes, the release notes have a running edit history.
