Warning :: locally defined symbol

[rinkeke]

Hi,

I'm writing a dll program in Intel Visual Fortran 11.0.072, MS Visual studio 2005. I've written some subroutines that perform different operations that I call in the main subroutine of the dll. Under the FORTRAN 8 compiler, MS Visual Studio 2001 this worked fine. With my new settings, it still works, however, the compiler gives warnings when I make a call to a subroutine. The error message is as follows:

1>Debug\Main.obj:warning : locally defined symbol __imp__SAMPLEMLPARS imported

When I compile it twice, it works and the programm runs fine so far. However, I'd like to understand what's happening and if it could cause trouble under specific circumstances.

Thanks,

Rinke

This is a linker warning, not from the compiler. You'll get this when you have a module containing routines with DLLEXPORT directives and you also USE that module in the DLL. Sometime after version 8, we corrected the compiler to treat DLLEXPORTs in a module as DLLIMPORTs when the module is USEd, since this is the most desirable behavior. However, the linker notes that you have both imported a symbol and defined it in the same DLL and it warns you about this. The warning is harmless and can be ignored.
