PRB: Debugging: Inter-Operability with Visual C++ 2.0

RESOLUTION

There are two ways to work around this problem. If you want to use the FORTRAN PowerStation 1.0 linker, you must compile your C/C++ programs with the old style (CV4) debug information. To do this, use the '-Z7' switch, instead of the '-Zi' switch on the Visual C++ command line. The debug information, from your C object, is now in the CV4 format recognizable by the FORTRAN PowerStation linker. This will allow you to debug the executable from FORTRAN PowerStation 1.0.

Alternatively, you can use the Visual C++ version 2.0 linker that understands both CV4 and PDB format debug information. This will allow you to debug your executable from Visual C++ version 2.0. However, FORTRAN expression evaluator is not available with the Visual C++ version 2.0 debugger.

NOTE: To use the Visual C++ version 2.0 linker, you can either use the C++ cl command and provide the appropriate FORTRAN libraries on the command line, or you can include the FORTRAN object (.OBJ) and static library (.LIB) files by listing them in the Project Files, by using the "Project + Files" menu selection.
