Exception.docxI have a computer with Windows 7 and 64 bit. Visual Studio Professional Version (10.0.30319.1 RTMRel) and Intel Visual Fortran Composer XE 2011 Update 6 Integration for Microsoft Visual Studio* 2010, 12.1.3514.201. I got an exception. The problem never happened before Fortran update.
Thanks...

Each new compiler release adds some new checking.

Did you start from scratch to rebuild with the update? (that is, clean and rebuild).

Some of my developers have seen some odd things but don't seem to have reported any in the past several weeks.

Dave,

Can you give us more details about the exception? One cause of exceptions is floating errors. Optimizations can vary from release to release including those related to floating point calcuatlions. If you need consistancy between the releases, you should use the /fp:source switch.

More details about floating point consistency are here.

Linda's suggestion of doing a Build clean is good. In any case more details about the exception and options could be shared by posting the Build file from the failure here.

The exception is from Microsoft Visual Studio (not the Fortran Compiler or the application), so you can ignore what I wrote before. This kind of error could happen if there is a problem in the integration or a mismatch of versions. Has the customer tried a Build => Clean before the Build? Another thing to try is to reinstall the compiler and see if there are errors on installation. Note there is a bug in this release which does force you to rebuild the whole applicaiton with 12.1.

Here is an article on things to try to debug IDE installation errors. The customer could try these steps (above andin the article)and report back if they do not resolve the problem what the results are?
