[comp.sys.hp] fc bug ??

barbour@boulder.Colorado.EDU (Jim Barbour) (07/08/90)

It seems to me that this error may have been discussed before, but I don't
remember the outcome...

Does anyone know the meaning of the following error produced by f77
on an HP9000/300 HP-UX 6.5 machine?  Using f77 -L shows me that the 
line where the compilation crashes varies slightly from test to test.

/usr/lib/f77pass120 -L test11.f /tmp/fcsBAAa16580 
test11.f:
   init11:
HP FORTRAN 77                               Sat Jul  7 23:14:33 1990           
Ver: 46.24(20)                              test11.f                 Page     1

... listing deleted ...

  f77: signal 11 (segmentation violation) while compiling test11.f

Thanks in advance for any help...

Well, it would help if you included the last few listing lines before
the segmentation violation; however, I will hazard a guess at what's
going on.  Look for a line like:

	write (10) (chr(i),i=1,10)

where chr is a character array (such as character*80 chr(10)).  This
defect will be repaired in the next release, and I believe patches are
available for 6.5 and 7.0.  Contact your HP SE for more information.
