Division by zero at compilation in parameter statement

Question

While compiling this module

module mConstants

    use, intrinsic :: iso_fortran_env,  only : input_unit, output_unit, error_unit
    use mPrecisionDefinitions,          only : ip, rp

    implicit none

    ! real constants
    real ( rp ), parameter    :: zero = 0.0_rp
    real ( rp ), parameter    :: one  = 1.0_rp
    real ( rp ), parameter    :: half = 0.5_rp

    real ( rp ), parameter    :: pi = acos ( one )

    real ( rp ), parameter    :: rad_to_deg = 180.0_rp / pi
    real ( rp ), parameter    :: deg_to_rad = pi / 180.0_rp
    ...    
end module mConstants

this error keeps appearing:

mod_constants.f08:16:54:

     real ( rp ), parameter    :: rad_to_deg = 180.0_rp / pi
                                                      1
Error: Division by zero at (1)
make: *** [mod_constants.o] Error 1

What is wrong with this statement?

The parameter rp is set using:

integer, parameter :: rp = selected_real_kind ( REAL64 )

The makefile generates this compilation command:

gfortran -c -g -ffpe-trap=denormal -fbacktrace -Wall -Waliasing -Wconversion-extra -Wextra -Wsurprising -Wimplicit-procedure -Wintrinsics-std -Wuse-without-only -Og -pedantic -fcheck=bounds -fmax-errors=5 -Wuse-without-only -o mod_constants.o mod_constants.f08

The problem persists under gcc 5 (shown), gcc 6 (MacPorts 6.1.0_0), and gcc 7 (MacPorts gcc7 7-20160605_0).

Answer 1

Cosine of 0 is 1, therefore acos(1)=0. Therefore your pi is zero and you are dividing by zero.

You probably wanted pi = acos(-1._rp).
