BUG: Incorrect Length Reported for Assumed-Size Arrays

MORE INFORMATION

Using Developer Studio, build the following sample code. On the Build menu, click Debug, and then click Step Into to begin the debugging process. Step into the subroutine sub() and go to the return statement. In the locals window, expand the assumed-size array "i" by clicking the nesting symbol (+). Next, highlight the first array element, and bring up the properties page dialog by pressing ALT+ENTER, or click Properties on the Edit menu. The array element information in the type field is incorrrectly reported as CHARACTER(4) even though the assumed-size array element length is actually CHARACTER(10).

Sample Code

C Compile options needed: /Zi

      character(len=10),dimension(5)::h
      h = 'aaaaaaaaaa'
      call sub(h)
      end

      subroutine sub(i)
        character(len=*),dimension(*)::i
        i(1) = 'bbbbbbbbbb'
        return
      end subroutine
