Error handling

Intel_C_Intel — Tue, 18 Sep 2001 21:59:22 GMT

My FORTRAN code has a C++ COM layer. Calls to run my FORTRAN models are in a __try __except structure but I can't get my FORTRAN to raise exceptions. I've set /fpe:0 but it still calculates divide by zero as infinity - what am I doing wrong?

Bill Hilliard (our exception handling expert)asked me to post this:

I assume you don't have a Fortran main program. In that case, you need to
compile with /fpe:0 as you are doing, but you must take the additional step
of unmasking traps in the x86 floating point control register as well.
Please see the CVF Programmer's Guide chapter on Advanced Exception and
Termination Handling for a detailed discussion of the fpe option. You'll
also find information on how to unmask the traps in there as well.
