project always rebuilding

[skinner__karl]

The projects I'm working on seem to always recompile all sources. This is especially annoying when the EXE has successfully built and I've run a debugging session, when I try to debug again (without changing source code or anything else) it rebuilds. Can anyone advise what I should be looking for?

I'm running VS2013 and Fortran Compiler 17.0.1.143. I have tried Googling the problem with no success, but circular dependencies seemed a possibility. I wrote a python script to detect circular dependencies but didn't find any.

I'm not sure if this is relevant, but I sometimes get this weird message in the output window, can anyone explain this message?

C:\Users\kskinn\checkouts\tmp_170815\common\mListReals.f90 :warning: Module 'x64\Debug\procedure::.mod' is created by both C:\Users\kskinn\checkouts\tmp_170815\common\mListReals.f90' and 'C:\Users\kskinn\checkouts\tmp_170815\common\mFileStream.f90'

Thanks

Are you coding with

  include "yourModule.f90"

as opposed to:

  use yourModule

Or, is the module source specified in two/multiple projects of the same solution? If so, place the module into a new library project, and have the referencing projects dependent upon the new library project.

Hi Jim, thanks for your input, but no I'm not using "include", only "use" and its happening in a solution with one project.

cheers

There was a recent finding here. There were other similar issues reported with our initial submodule support here including a one-time appearance of a similar warning but those are fixed in the 17.0 update 1 you noted using.

If there is any chance at receiving a complete reproducer then we could investigate further.

Hi Kevin D (Intel), thanks for your comments so far, did you have any thoughts on that weird warning message (repeated below), what is procedure::.mod' ?

c:\syncplicity\kskinn\Documents\checkouts\common\mListReals.f90 : warning: Module 'x64\Debug\procedure::.mod' is created by both 'C:\syncplicity\kskinn\Documents\checkouts\common\mListReals.f90' and 'C:\syncplicity\kskinn\Documents\checkouts\common\mMixture.f90'.

I'm struggling to create a simple reproducer as my project has a lot of source files and dependencies, can I just zip up and email you the folders containing source and project files?

regards

The strange message appears to originate from the Fortran dependency checking, part of the integrations with Visual Studio, and not the compiler itself. I have not been able to reproduce it myself.

Rather than share via email, can you please submit a ticket at our Online Service Center, please visit http://www.intel.com/supporttickets and we'll investigate further.

Thank you.

Thanks Kevin, I'll wait on raising a ticket for the "procedure::.mod" warning as I read what seemed a relevant post from Steve earlier that using "module procedure" inside an interface block can be problematic, so I've removed all occurences of the word "module" inside all interface blocks. If I see that weird warning again I will raise a ticket as you suggest.

cheers
