I am trying to use the latest Intel Fortran compiler (17.0.1.143). My program compiles fine but when I run the Debug version (I didn't try the Release version), I get a C++ RTL error:
Debug Error! Damage before (some memory address) which was allocated by aligned routine.
The error is occurring at two locations:
1. When I call a function that returns an array of user-defined data type that includes ALLOCATABLE array attributes. I was able to fix this by converting these functions to subroutines.
2. When I try to DEALLOCATE an array of user-defined data type that includes ALLOCATABLE array attributes. Maybe I should first deallocate the attributes before attempting to deallocate the array?
This code worked fine with 16.0.4.246 and earlier versions of the compiler. Can this be an issue with the compiler? Any help will greatly be appreciated.
Thanks!
EDIT: For item 2 above, it turns out that the error occurs if one of the array arguments of the user-defined type is not previously allocated. I use the STAT argument with DEALLOCATE to avoid checking if an array is allocated before deallocating it. This has always worked in the past.
