420.5Status?TLE::LUCIAhttp://asaab.zko.dec.com/~lucia/biography.htmlMon May 05 1997 16:597
    Status?  Are there customers out there using compilers on programs with
    arrays of rank > 7?
    
    Ladebug has not made any plans to support more than 7.

    	Yes, this was a customer request, and the code is under an
    undocumented switch, awaiting Ladebug support.  When you support
    more dimensions, we will remove the switch.  The main reason we
    implemented this was because other vendors had already done so,
    and it was a requested item.  But we cannot make it fully
    available until the debuggers understand it (AVMS does already).
    
    	So, yes, we still want this.  In a similar vein, we still
    want support for note 370 (parameter constants).  Until you tell
    us we cannot have these things, we assume they are still on your
    (long) list.  Please do NOT throw them away just because they
    are old.
    
    Cheers!

420.7oh yeah, a test program would be cool too...QUARRY::petertrigidly defined areas of doubt and uncertaintyTue May 06 1997 12:467
What's the undocumented switch?  I see that I did something with dbx in 
the past, but since I never got any official word, I never made that
fix official.  If it require no other work than what I tried previously,
than it would be an easy fix to make it into both ptmin and steel.

420.8Not gone or forgotten!TLE::LUCIAhttp://asaab.zko.dec.com/~lucia/biography.htmlTue May 06 1997 12:4913
    f77 -switch fe_dimgt7
    
    I was about to ask the same question.  While you were writing your
    reply, however, I went and re-read the base note and found the answer.
    
    Now at least I know I can produce an a.out file with >7 dimensions.
    
    It's old, but not forgotten!  I still have a very long list of Fortran
    TO-DOs, which will be reviewed again soon to prioritize our next wave
    of Fortran support.

    	Thank you.  In general, if the feature cannot be fully
    supported because some other piece of software needs to get up
    to speed, we try to put it under a switch for the customer so
    that they can limp along in the meantime without generating a
    pile of CLDs.  From time to time we review what's working, and
    try to remove the switch if we feel the feature is generally
    valuable.
    
    Cheers!
