I have a program using a linked list to represent a computational mesh, and each node points to all its neighbors. When Photran tries to dereference all of these pointers in all of these nodes (10 nodes, total), it enters an infinite loop. Is there a way to turn off the "automatic dereference" feature?

Hello,

When you debug a Fortran application, you are actually using the debugger from Eclipse CDT (the C/C++ Development Tools).  I don't know of a way to turn off automatic dereferencing, but it might be possible; I'm not sure.

You might take a look at the CDT documentation (e.g., http://help.eclipse.org/helios/index.jsp ) and see if it has anything helpful.  You could also search the CDT forum or ask for help there - http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php?t=thread&frm_id=80

Sorry I'm not more help.

Jeff
