How to declare dummy argument to function ReadFile ?

[reidar_tyssen]

In CVF you could use a call to a function ReadFile like this:

bret = ReadFile(hFile,

loc(filebuffer), iFileLength, Loc(dwByteRead), %Val(0)) !CVF

(from Lawrence Norman)

In IVF this doesn,t work, %Val(0) is not accepted as a dummy argument, i get message as shown below:

Compiling with Intel Fortran Compiler 10.0.026 [IA-32]...

TextProcessing.f90

e:TVA51TextProcessing.f90(107) : Error: The type of the actual argument differs from the type of the dummy argument. [%VAL]

e:TVA51TextProcessing.f90(119) : Error: The type of the actual argument differs from the type of the dummy argument. [%VAL]

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.

Please contact the application's support team for more information.

compilation aborted for e:TVA51TextProcessing.f90 (code 3)

Build log written to file://e:TVA51DebugBuildLog.htm

As you can see, I really succeeded in doing somthing bad.

- Can anyone tell how to get around this ?

Best regards

Internal compiler error is always a bug, even for invalid code. In this case, assuming you had
USE kernel32
it seems the CVF extension should be supported. It certainly looks to my untutored eye that kernel32 provides for this specific case, so it would be important to file the problem report on premier.intel.com.

Just use NULL there. Please do report this problem.
