Watching Allocatable Things

[Intel_C_Intel]

TYPE tTest
	INTEGER(1), DIMENSION(:), POINTER :: a
	INTEGER :: b
	REAL(8), DIMENSION(:), POINTER :: c
	INTEGER :: d
	REAL(8), DIMENSION(:), POINTER :: e
	INTEGER :: f, g
END TYPE tTest

TYPE (tTest), DIMENSION(:), POINTER :: Test

Is there anyway to watch the contents of 'Test' after it has been allocated / set...? Nothing I try in the debugger seems to work...must I resort to the 'Memory' window?

Which compiler and version are you using? This works fine for me in CVF 6.6, for example.

If you're using CVF, be sure you have run Per-User Setup from Start..Programs..Compaq Visual Fortran 6.

Steve, I'm using CVF 6.6B.

Test and tTest are private memebers of a MODULE, does that make a difference?

If I put 'Test' in the watch window I just get 'Undefined variable Test'

Running 'Per User Setup' doesn't help...

The module is also SAVEd...

[Steven_L_Intel1]

Ah, it does make a difference if it's in a module. As explained in the manual, you need to use the syntax modulename::variablename in the watch window for module variables.

Thanks Steve, I figured it might be something like that, since I new about imported common block names in DLLs (commmonname.variablename etc.). I even tried module.variable, module%variable etc. ... just couldn't get the syntax.

I appreciate the very polite 'RTFM' too :) My bad :)

Steve,
Thanks much for your reply. You've just cured my #1 reason for avoiding modules.

However, your "explained in the Manual" comment leaves me puzzled. I can't find this tidbit anywhere in the Version 6.6B documentation. Could you please either give me a reference so I can start trying to find out why my "Entire Collection" isn't complete, or include your manual in the Ver. 6.6C release.

Programmer's Guide..Debugging Fortran Programs..Viewing Fortran Data Types in the Debugger..Specifying Module Variables:

To view a module variable in the Watch window, specify the module name, followed by "::", followed by the variable name.

For example, to watch variable "bar" of module "foo", specify the following expression:

foo::bar
