Creating Obj file in Intel
|| Sarvam Krishna Arpanam ||

Hi

I am a new fortran user and need some help in migrating a code from Compaq to Intel compiler. I have read through this page

http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/migrating-from-compaq-visual-fortran/

but have not had any success. I would appreciate if someone can help me.

I have a source code built in Compaq. In compaq, I am able to open it and compile at the click of a couple of buttons and able to create an object file. I am able to open the same code file in Visual Studio 2005 but not sure how to compile the file to create an object file. The following is available on my machine

Microsoft Visual Studio 2005
Version 8.0.50727.867 (vsvista.050727-8600)
Microsoft .NET Framework
Version 2.0.50727 SP2

Installed Edition: IDE Standard

Intel(R) Visual Fortran Compiler Integration Package ID: w_cprof_p_11.0.074

Do you specifically want an object file only or do you want to build the application?  Usually it's the latter.

In the toolbar, select Build and then Build Solution.  If all you want is to compile a source file to an object, right click on the source file name in the "Solution Explorer" pane and select Compile.  This won't get you something you can run.

Hi

Compaq was able to create an object file even when there were some errors while compilation. But it does not seem like to be so in Intel. Is there some option that needs to be modified to enable Intel create a object file even in the presence of some errors?

Thanks for the time and efforts !!

Regards
Prakash

No.  If you have error-level diagnostics, you get no object.  If it created an object, that would make the build system think that recompiling was not necessary.  As far as I know, CVF worked the same way.

What would you do with an object from a failed compile?

The object file is to be used to read the fortran code on a different simulation software. The errors that we get are not critical and not encountered if we run the file from the other simulation software.

If the compiler reports an error-level diagnostic, it IS critical in that compilation cannot succeed - the compiler cannot determine what the correct interpretation of your program is.  I know some compilers, Intel C++ for example, have the concept of "soft errors", but Intel (and Compaq) Fortran does not.
