Signal Handling

[acar]

I would like to trap unforseen errors in my application and have found the SIGNAL function. I note however that it appears only deals with seven of the possible 34 errors listed in:

I wonder, if for completeness, I have to write the C routine (op cit) in order to catch all possible errors?

Thanks, ACAR

That paper is Linux-specific and does not apply to Windows.

If you want to catch all signaled errors, you will have to write a C wrapper that establishes a handler block and then calls the Fortran code.

Note that I/O errors are not signaled and cannot be handled.

Thanks for that Steve. I wonder if you have any references to such a C wrapper for handling Windows signalled errors that might give me a pointer to how to write this routine and what the signal numbers mean?

I don't have that information handy. You might try some web searches for info on using Windows structured exception handling (SEH). The error numbers are documented in the MSDN Library
