Program Exception (157) through static library

Hello,

I am using an Intel Fortran static library to run a physics based simulation engine. Running the simulation engine through a fortran project linked to the static library gives me a program exception (157). Using the debugger I found in what subroutine the simulation breaks with the exception (157). However, if I take out the subroutine where the simulation breaks with exception from the static library and simply add this subroutine to the fortran project there is no exception or issue with the simulation. I am not sure what could be going wrong here. Having researched this on the Intel forums, I have checked the subroutine. It does not have any logic issues or any problems with the arguments. 

Any advice on this bizarre issue will be much appreciated.

 

Thanks,

MP

The behavior of a program that has bugs such as array bounds being violated, uninitialized variables used, etc., is "unpredictable", and "unpredictable" may see "bizarre" to some. I find the described behavior rather normal, and indicative of bugs being present.

To find a resolution, recompile with /traceback and possible some checks enabled, and run again. You may also post the subroutine source code and provide information about the actual arguments that it gets called with.
