I got up to build 74 (11.0.74)this previous year, but it had so many problems, I have to revert backwards.
Now I am wondering if any of those were addressed. I could not find any discussion about bug fixes in your newest offereing (11.1).
The reason I am asking is that there is no point in buying a newer version unless those bugs were addressed and fixed.
Is there any literature about this?
BTW, is there any provision for putting a PARAMETER within a Format statement? I guess I have to generate it "on the fly."

Intel tools aren't sold by version; support is for a period of time (annual, renewable), covering future and past versions. Current version does include quite a few bug fixes, better optimization, as well as improved f2003 support.
Many articles have been posted here on the old VFE extension and on current and future standard alternatives. I can't tell if that's what you mean, and it's hard to search and come up with a good list of those articles.

Bill,
If you reported bugs you should have been informed as to when the fix appeared. A README.TXT is posted alongside the compiler download with a list of issues fixed in that version. If you would identify issues you are concerned about, I can tell you if they are fixed.
As Tim says, we don't license by version so you may well be eligible to update at no additional charge.
Variable Format Expressions (VFEs) do sound like what you are looking for - this is an extension.

Well, the main problems I encountered were the interfaces between the routines, when there was interface checking.
I discovered that whenever I change the calling interfaces, then even when they are compatible I got BUILD errors.
The only way to resolve those was a clean and rebuild. It acts like there are old items in the GENMOD list that do not get updated. It seems that it should use the NEW info for the interface blocks, rather than the old info.
Seems to have something to do with the compilation order.

I'm not aware that that particular problem has been resolved, though it doesn't affect everyone. A real fix for this will require some redesign of the way generated modules are used. In the few cases where you see the problem, a rebuild should fix it and it won't recur unless you change interfaces again.

Issue Number: 543704.
