run-time error with ifort 9.1 when passing functions

gtokic — Fri, 13 Mar 2009 15:39:52 GMT

Hi everybody,

I came across this issue when using different ifort compilers. I normally use ifort 10.0.023 in which case the following code compiles and runs normally. However, I had to change to a parallel computer where ifort 9.1. is installed and this time the code compiles normally but has run-time segmentation fault. I don't see where the error might be in the code, I don't know is it because of the fact that the functions are being passed as arguments or what.

If anybody has any ideas what the problem might be, it would be really helpful. The code is attached below. The run time error apparently occurs when function func isn't recognized in function hx. I compile with ifort -r8 -o test_ts fp_test_ts.f90.

[plain]module utl
 implicit none
 contains
  function cft(a,b,n,func)
     implicit none
     real,intent(in)    :: a,b
     integer,intent(in) :: n
     real               :: cft(0:n)
     interface
       function func(x)
         implicit none
         real,intent(in) :: x(:)
         real            :: func(size(x))
       end function func
     end interface
     real :: th(0:n)
     th = b-a
     cft = func(th)
   end function cft
end module utl

I found a similar discussion on forum http://software.intel.com/en-us/forums/showthread.php?t=51159 where Steve said that there is a bug in the process of being fixed. Is this the case of the same/similar bug that has been fixed in newer versions of ifort?

Thanks,

I don't see anything wrong with the code. It could be there was a bug in 9.1 that you encountered - it isn't an issue I remember, not that that means anything. The issue you linked to is completely different - "segmentation fault" has an infinite number of possible causes. If you build with -traceback, is there more meaningful information as to where the error occurs?

Hi Steve,

I've tried compiling with traceback, and this time it doesn't compile. This is the error I get, i must say I don't understand much of it.

Is it helpful? I have compiled with ifort -r8 -o -traceback test_ts fp_test_ts.f90.

You want instead:

ifort -r8 -traceback -o test_ts fp_test_ts.f90

Sorry for that. Now the run-time error shows

This is more understandable, and it points to the lines where function func is called. Any ideas?

Again, it looks as if it may be a compiler bug since fixed. The solution is obviously to update the compiler.

Thanks Steve, at least I know I didn't go that crazy. I'll try to get it updated.
