wrong offload wait/transfer example code

[Alin_M_Elena]

Hi,

In this document
http://software.intel.com/en-us/node/413108#30B8C09D-9EC7-401B-8CFC-E4FC3649C0AF
the code listed as example after this
The following example demonstrates using the OFFLOAD directive, as well as directives OFFLOAD_TRANSFER and OFFLOAD_WAIT.
crashes due to the use of uninitialised variables for signal and wait in the offload
replacing the original line
integer :: sin1, sin2, sout1, sout2
by
integer :: sin1=10, sin2=11, sout1=12, sout2=13
results in a running non crashing example

original code crashing out
[aelena00@node002 fortran]$ ./offloadSync.MIX

Thank you for the note Alin. The noted mistakes in that example are fixed in the documentation for the coming Composer XE 2013 SP1 release (next month).

Thank you Kevin! Great to hear that!

Word of advice: for up to date examples, always look at the ones that come packaged with the compiler. The ones in the manual and even the Xeon Phi book by James Reinders are full of bugs / deprecated code.

this is exactly from the very place you say... the link was just for reference as matched the very version of my compiler.
