Unhandled Application Exception

C Example

The following C example is overly simplified to provide possible scenarios where these types of errors may occur.

void problem1 (int *y)
{
   *y = 5; 
}
void problem2()
{
   int *x = new int;
}

Two exceptions are possible in this example:

• y may not reference a valid memory address; therefore the write instruction may cause an exception. If that exception is not properly handled, the Intel Inspector shows an unhandled exception pointing to the write instruction at y.

• If the application is out of memory, the allocation throws an exception. If the exception is unhandled by the application, the Intel Inspector shows an unhandled exception associated with the allocation.

Fortran Example

The following Fortran example is also overly simplified to provide possible scenarios where this type of error may occur.

function problem1(a)
    integer, allocatable :: a(:)
        
    a(5) = 1
    problem1 = 1
end function problem1
    
function problem2(a)
    integer, allocatable :: a(:)
        
    allocate(a(1000))
    problem2 = 1000
end function problem2
