Allocatable defered length strings not visible in VS2008 debugger

[thomas_boehme]

I cannot see the values of allocatable, defered length strings in the VS2008 debugger when using IVF 11.1
All I get is "Substring arguments out of bounds"

Here is the sample code:

[plain] program StringLength implicit none ! Variables character(:),allocatable :: test test = 'abc' write(*,*) test end program StringLength [/plain]

I did specify /assume:realloc_lhs and the code works without problems. Is that a known problem and can we expect this to be fixed soon?

I'll report this to the developers. When I get more information, I'll let you know.

Hi Steve,

should I also report such issues to Premier Support or is it sufficient to report to theforum?

I hope that this will be fixed very soon, as not being able to see the string content during debugcurrently makes it veryinconvenient to use defered length strings.

Here only is fine - it's already being investigated. Issue ID is DPD200137717.

The problem still occurs with 11.1.046. Can we expect this to be fixed soon?

Not soon - we found that this needs some design work in the compiler. It will get fixed, but I can't predict when.

It looks as if this was fixed in Composer XE 2011 Update 6.
