Hi,
Does anyone know if there is a routine in NAG's compiler to abort execution
and produce a stack traceback? When compiled with -gline, I can do a
READ(-1,*) or some other trick like that and get a runtime error with a nice
traceback (line numbers and everything). I thought the ABORT from the POSIX
interface would do this, but it does not. Similar question for Intel and
Lahey.
Thanks,
Aleksandar

I don't know about NAG, but I compiled with Lahey LF95 5.6 and Compaq Visual Fortran (CVF) 6.6.C. Both under Windows. The results are the same for both compilers.

* Both compilers offer the option for the user to generate a traceback in case of run-time errors. With LF95, it is -trace; with CVF, it is /traceback.

* If you use the ABORT subroutine, you will not get a traceback.

* If you intentionally cause a run-time error using some other method, the traceback will occur if the program was compiled with traceback requested.
