Crpytic compiler messages (?)

[Intel_C_Intel]

Line 10 generates three errors, none of which make any sense.

It says the number of arguments in the call don't match, and it doesn't like the

type of the argument "nmove."

I think the problem arises from passing the NMOVE dummy argument down from line #1.

I can't make any errors come out for this source. Which specific compiler version are you using and what compilation options?

I'll take a wild guess.

Since you are getting an argument match error, I presume you're using the generate/check interface options. Did you change the argument list at some point? If so, thencheck the generated interface. You will probably find that it has not been updated to match the argument list changes. Part of the reason for this is that the caller routine precedes the callee in the source file, although there are a few more mysteries that I don't yet understand. The quick fix, though, isto simply delete the .mod files and recompile. That, by the way, often corrects cryptic problems using interface checking.whether you understand them or not.

At least, it does for me.
