I use Intel compiler fortran with VS for 15 years now . 

But I have difficulties to use the the debugger with IFX version.

 I understand  i have to  install Intel® Fortran Expression Evaluator (FEE) extension manually 

Can you explain the procedure to install it? Thank you.

From Visual Studio select the "Extensions" menu, then "Manage Extensions" => type "intel fortran expression evaluator" to search for the extension and install it.

 

There is an interesting discussion here about the FEE:

Thank you, it is done.

 

Nethertheless, I have still troubles for the allocated tables  .

 In the specification of the intel Fortran Expression it is written: 

"The Intel® Fortran Expression Evaluator allows developers to:

  • Evaluate Fortran expressions during debugging. (ok for me)
  • Check the values of variables or compute custom expressions on-the-fly. (ok for me, it must be in UPPER CASE , ok)
  • Support array slicing, derived types, and some Fortran intrinsic functions (e.g. ALLOCATED, ASSOCIATED, LOC) ." (not ok for me).

Maybe i have forgotten something or there is a restriction , or  i need probably to install something else?

A simple example below: impossible to read the value Tab_XY

It works for me even in lower case (although tab_xy is displayed in upper case in the Watch window).

 

I'm using Visual Studio Community 2022 version 17.14.20 and ifx 2025.3.0
