Variable value wrong using ifort, issue does not appear in debug mode or using gnu compiler

Hi all, 

 

I noticed an odd behavior, I ran runtime debugging to see if I am violating any array size to no avail. 

The sample code (hereafter), outputs a wrong value of array A, simply adding a print statement (a text) will cause the issue to disappear. Compiling in runtime debug mode also mitigates the issue. 

I include the sample code: 

PROGRAM inteltest

IMPLICIT NONE

INTEGER, DIMENSION(25,2)  :: A 
INTEGER                   :: i,row(2)

CALL OED(5,2,A)

DO i=1,5
        row=A(i,1:2)
        PRINT*,row
ENDDO
CONTAINS

SUBROUTINE OED(Q,N,A)

    IMPLICIT NONE
    INTEGER, INTENT(IN)                               :: Q, N
    INTEGER, DIMENSION(Q**N,N), INTENT(OUT)           :: A
    INTEGER                                           :: i, J, k, jj,t,s

    J = FLOOR(LOG(REAL(N)*(REAL(Q)-1.)+1.)/LOG(REAL(Q)))

    IF (N .ne. ((Q**J)/(Q-1))) THEN
        J = J + 1
    END IF

    A(:,:)=0
    DO  k = 1,J
        jj = (Q**(k-1) - 1)/(Q-1) + 1
        DO i= 1,Q**J
            A(i,jj) = mod(floor((i-1.)/Q**(J-k)) ,Q)
            !adding a print statement here will change the result
            !PRINT*,"here"
        END DO
    END DO


    DO k=2,J 
        jj =  (Q**(k-1) - 1)/(Q-1) + 1;
        DO s = 1, jj-1
            DO t = 1,Q-1
                IF (jj+(s-1)*(Q-1)+t .le. N) THEN
                    A(:,jj+(s-1)*(Q-1)+t) = mod(A(:,s)*t+A(:,jj),Q)
                END IF           
            END DO
        END DO
    END DO

    A = A + 1

    
END SUBROUTINE

END PROGRAM

 

I compile with ifort for runtime debug, this produces the correct value. 

ifort -o inteltestinteldebug inteltest.f90 -C -g -warn -DEBUG -check -assume byterecl -heap-arrays 50 -check all -gen_interfaces -traceback -check bounds -fp-stack-check-fpe0 -warn all -qopenmp  

Code output: 

 With intel:  

           1           1
           1           1
           1           2
           1           3
           1           4

With intel (+print statement [PRINT*,"here" added in the inner loop, see attached code lined 45]):

(only 1 print statement is shown)

 here
           1           1
           1           2
           1           3
           1           4
           1           5

With intel (runtime debug): 

 

           1           1
           1           2
           1           3
           1           4
           1           5

 

  With gnu-fortran: 

           1           1
           1           2
           1           3
           1           4
           1           5

 Compiling with ifort causes a change of the result, and I am not sure why.

I include a tarball with the source, and the bash files to compile with, ifort, ifort with runtime debug flags and gfortran. 

PS: I am using intel OneAPI 2024.0 on Ubuntu 22.04

Thank you and have a wonderful day.

Interesting. I can reproduce the issue on Windows using ifort, but not with ifx. Please try ifx. SInce ifort is now deprecated, I doubt any effort will be put in to resolve issues that aren't also seen in ifx.

Yes, it worked normally with ifx. However ifx is giving me a separate issue in debug mode (see: https://community.intel.com/t5/Intel-HPC-Toolkit/MemorySanitizer-DEADLYSIGNAL-when-compiling-for-runtime-debug/m-p/1566953)

I will mark this solved, thank you.
