The development goal is to provide thefollowing features:* Read a user's program, stored in a file and containinginstructions written in Fortran 77, Fortran 90, Fortran 95,Fortran 2003 or Fortran 2008. This file contains "source code".* Translate the user's program into instructions a computer cancarry out more quickly than it takes to translate the instructionsin the first place. The result after compilation of a program is"machine code", code designed to be efficiently translated andprocessed by a machine such as your computer. Humans usuallyaren't as good writing machine code as they are at writing Fortran(or C++, Ada, or Java), because it is easy to make tiny mistakeswriting machine code.* Provide the user with information about the reasons why thecompiler is unable to create a binary from the source code.Usually this will be the case if the source code is flawed. TheFortran 90 standard requires that the compiler can point outmistakes to the user. An incorrect usage of the language causesan "error message".The compiler will also attempt to diagnose cases where the user'sprogram contains a correct usage of the language, but instructsthe computer to do something questionable. This kind ofdiagnostics message is called a "warning message".* Provide optional information about the translation passes from thesource code to machine code. This can help a user of the compilerto find the cause of certain bugs which may not be obvious in thesource code, but may be more easily found at a lower levelcompiler output. It also helps developers to find bugs in thecompiler itself.* Provide information in the generated machine code that can make iteasier to find bugs in the program (using a debugging tool, calleda "debugger", such as the GNU Debugger `gdb').* Locate and gather machine code already generated to performactions requested by statements in the user's program. Thismachine code is organized into "modules" and is located and"linked" to the user program.The GNU Fortran compiler consists of several components:* A version of the `gcc' command (which also might be installed asthe system's `cc' command) that also understands and acceptsFortran source code. The `gcc' command is the "driver" program forall the languages in the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC); With `gcc',you can compile the source code of any language for which a frontend is available in GCC.* The `gfortran' command itself, which also might be installed as thesystem's `f95' command. `gfortran' is just another driver program,but specifically for the Fortran compiler only. The differencewith `gcc' is that `gfortran' will automatically link the correctlibraries to your program.* A collection of run-time libraries. These libraries contain themachine code needed to support capabilities of the Fortranlanguage that are not directly provided by the machine codegenerated by the `gfortran' compilation phase, such as intrinsicfunctions and subroutines, and routines for interaction with filesand the operating system.* The Fortran compiler itself, (`f951'). This is the GNU Fortranparser and code generator, linked to and interfaced with the GCCbackend library. `f951' "translates" the source code to assemblercode. You would typically not use this program directly; instead,the `gcc' or `gfortran' driver programs will call it for you.File: gfortran.info, Node: GNU Fortran and GCC, Next: Preprocessing and conditional compilation, Prev: About GNU Fortran, Up: Introduction1.2 GNU Fortran and GCC=======================GNU Fortran is a part of GCC, the "GNU Compiler Collection". GCCconsists of a collection of front ends for various languages, whichtranslate the source code into a language-independent form called"GENERIC". This is then processed by a common middle end whichprovides optimization, and then passed to one of a collection of backends which generate code for different computer architectures andoperating systems.Functionally, this is implemented with a driver program (`gcc')which provides the command-line interface for the compiler. It callsthe relevant compiler front-end program (e.g., `f951' for Fortran) foreach file in the source code, and then calls the assembler and linkeras appropriate to produce the compiled output. In a copy of GCC whichhas been compiled with Fortran language support enabled, `gcc' willrecognize files with `.f', `.for', `.ftn', `.f90', `.f95', `.f03' and`.f08' extensions as Fortran source code, and compile it accordingly. A`gfortran' driver program is also provided, which is identical to `gcc'except that it automatically links the Fortran runtime libraries intothe compiled program.Source files with `.f', `.for', `.fpp', `.ftn', `.F', `.FOR',`.FPP', and `.FTN' extensions are treated as fixed form. Source fileswith `.f90', `.f95', `.f03', `.f08', `.F90', `.F95', `.F03' and `.F08'extensions are treated as free form. The capitalized versions ofeither form are run through preprocessing. Source files with the lowercase `.fpp' extension are also run through preprocessing.This manual specifically documents the Fortran front end, whichhandles the programming language's syntax and semantics. The aspectsof GCC which relate to the optimization passes and the back-end codegeneration are documented in the GCC manual; see *note Introduction:(gcc)Top. The two manuals together provide a complete reference forthe GNU Fortran compiler.File: gfortran.info, Node: Preprocessing and conditional compilation, Next: GNU Fortran and G77, Prev: GNU Fortran and GCC, Up: Introduction1.3 Preprocessing and conditional compilation=============================================Many Fortran compilers including GNU Fortran allow passing the sourcecode through a C preprocessor (CPP; sometimes also called the Fortranpreprocessor, FPP) to allow for conditional compilation. In the case ofGNU Fortran, this is the GNU C Preprocessor in the traditional mode. Onsystems with case-preserving file names, the preprocessor isautomatically invoked if the filename extension is `.F', `.FOR',`.FTN', `.fpp', `.FPP', `.F90', `.F95', `.F03' or `.F08'. To manuallyinvoke the preprocessor on any file, use `-cpp', to disablepreprocessing on files where the preprocessor is run automatically, use`-nocpp'.If a preprocessed file includes another file with the Fortran`INCLUDE' statement, the included file is not preprocessed. Topreprocess included files, use the equivalent preprocessor statement`#include'.If GNU Fortran invokes the preprocessor, `__GFORTRAN__' is definedand `__GNUC__', `__GNUC_MINOR__' and `__GNUC_PATCHLEVEL__' can be usedto determine the version of the compiler. See *note Overview: (cpp)Top.for details.While CPP is the de-facto standard for preprocessing Fortran code,Part 3 of the Fortran 95 standard (ISO/IEC 1539-3:1998) definesConditional Compilation, which is not widely used and not directlysupported by the GNU Fortran compiler. You can use the program coco topreprocess such files (`http://users.erols.com/dnagle/coco.html').File: gfortran.info, Node: GNU Fortran and G77, Next: Project Status, Prev: Preprocessing and conditional compilation, Up: Introduction1.4 GNU Fortran and G77=======================The GNU Fortran compiler is the successor to `g77', the Fortran 77front end included in GCC prior to version 4. It is an entirely newprogram that has been designed to provide Fortran 95 support andextensibility for future Fortran language standards, as well asproviding backwards compatibility for Fortran 77 and nearly all of theGNU language extensions supported by `g77'.File: gfortran.info, Node: Project Status, Next: Standards, Prev: GNU Fortran and G77, Up: Introduction1.5 Project Status==================As soon as `gfortran' can parse all of the statements correctly,it will be in the "larva" state. When we generate code, the"puppa" state. When `gfortran' is done, we'll see if it will be abeautiful butterfly, or just a big bug....-Andy Vaught, April 2000The start of the GNU Fortran 95 project was announced on the GCChomepage in March 18, 2000 (even though Andy had already been workingon it for a while, of course).The GNU Fortran compiler is able to compile nearly allstandard-compliant Fortran 95, Fortran 90, and Fortran 77 programs,including a number of standard and non-standard extensions, and can beused on real-world programs. In particular, the supported extensionsinclude OpenMP, Cray-style pointers, and several Fortran 2003 andFortran 2008 features such as enumeration, stream I/O, and some of theenhancements to allocatable array support from TR 15581. However, it isstill under development and has a few remaining rough edges.At present, the GNU Fortran compiler passes the NIST Fortran 77 TestSuite (http://www.fortran-2000.com/ArnaudRecipes/fcvs21_f95.html), andproduces acceptable results on the LAPACK Test Suite(http://www.netlib.org/lapack/faq.html#1.21). It also providesrespectable performance on the Polyhedron Fortran compiler benchmarks(http://www.polyhedron.com/pb05.html) and the Livermore Fortran Kernelstest(http://www.llnl.gov/asci_benchmarks/asci/limited/lfk/README.html). Ithas been used to compile a number of large real-world programs,including the HIRLAM weather-forecasting code(http://mysite.verizon.net/serveall/moene.pdf) and the Tonto quantumchemistry package (http://www.theochem.uwa.edu.au/tonto/); see`http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/GfortranApps' for an extended list.Among other things, the GNU Fortran compiler is intended as areplacement for G77. At this point, nearly all programs that could becompiled with G77 can be compiled with GNU Fortran, although there area few minor known regressions.The primary work remaining to be done on GNU Fortran falls into threecategories: bug fixing (primarily regarding the treatment of invalidcode and providing useful error messages), improving the compileroptimizations and the performance of compiled code, and extending thecompiler to support future standards--in particular, Fortran 2003 andFortran 2008.File: gfortran.info, Node: Standards, Prev: Project Status, Up: Introduction1.6 Standards=============* Menu:* Varying Length Character Strings::The GNU Fortran compiler implements ISO/IEC 1539:1997 (Fortran 95).As such, it can also compile essentially all standard-compliant Fortran90 and Fortran 77 programs. It also supports the ISO/IEC TR-15581enhancements to allocatable arrays, and the OpenMP Application ProgramInterface v2.5 (http://www.openmp.org/drupal/mp-documents/spec25.pdf)specification.In the future, the GNU Fortran compiler will also support ISO/IEC1539-1:2004 (Fortran 2003) and future Fortran standards. Partial supportof that standard is already provided; the current status of Fortran 2003support is reported in the *note Fortran 2003 status:: section of thedocumentation.The next version of the Fortran standard (Fortran 2008) is currentlybeing developed and the GNU Fortran compiler supports some of its newfeatures. This support is based on the latest draft of the standard(available from `http://www.nag.co.uk/sc22wg5/') and no guarantee offuture compatibility is made, as the final standard might differ fromthe draft. For more information, see the *note Fortran 2008 status::section.Additionally, the GNU Fortran compilers supports the OpenMPspecification (version 3.0,`http://openmp.org/wp/openmp-specifications/').File: gfortran.info, Node: Varying Length Character Strings, Up: Standards1.6.1 Varying Length Character Strings--------------------------------------The Fortran 95 standard specifies in Part 2 (ISO/IEC 1539-2:2000)varying length character strings. While GNU Fortran currently does notsupport such strings directly, there exist two Fortran implementationsfor them, which work with GNU Fortran. They can be found at`http://www.fortran.com/iso_varying_string.f95' and at`ftp://ftp.nag.co.uk/sc22wg5/ISO_VARYING_STRING/'.File: gfortran.info, Node: Invoking GNU Fortran, Next: Runtime, Prev: Introduction, Up: Top2 GNU Fortran Command Options*****************************The `gfortran' command supports all the options supported by the `gcc'command. Only options specific to GNU Fortran are documented here.*Note GCC Command Options: (gcc)Invoking GCC, for information on thenon-Fortran-specific aspects of the `gcc' command (and, therefore, the`gfortran' command).All GCC and GNU Fortran options are accepted both by `gfortran' andby `gcc' (as well as any other drivers built at the same time, such as`g++'), since adding GNU Fortran to the GCC distribution enablesacceptance of GNU Fortran options by all of the relevant drivers.In some cases, options have positive and negative forms; thenegative form of `-ffoo' would be `-fno-foo'.

The free form layoutwas introduced in Fortran 90. Fixed form was traditionally used inolder Fortran programs. When neither option is specified, thesource form is determined by the file extension.`-fall-intrinsics'This option causes all intrinsic procedures (including theGNU-specific extensions) to be accepted. This can be useful with`-std=f95' to force standard-compliance but get access to the fullrange of intrinsics available with `gfortran'. As a consequence,`-Wintrinsics-std' will be ignored and no user-defined procedurewith the same name as any intrinsic will be called except when itis explicitly declared `EXTERNAL'.`-fd-lines-as-code'`-fd-lines-as-comments'Enable special treatment for lines beginning with `d' or `D' infixed form sources. If the `-fd-lines-as-code' option is giventhey are treated as if the first column contained a blank. If the`-fd-lines-as-comments' option is given, they are treated ascomment lines.`-fdefault-double-8'Set the `DOUBLE PRECISION' type to an 8 byte wide type. If`-fdefault-real-8' is given, `DOUBLE PRECISION' would instead bepromoted to 16 bytes if possible, and `-fdefault-double-8' can beused to prevent this. The kind of real constants like `1.d0' willnot be changed by `-fdefault-real-8' though, so also`-fdefault-double-8' does not affect it.`-fdefault-integer-8'Set the default integer and logical types to an 8 byte wide type.Do nothing if this is already the default. This option alsoaffects the kind of integer constants like `42'.`-fdefault-real-8'Set the default real type to an 8 byte wide type. Do nothing ifthis is already the default. This option also affects the kind ofnon-double real constants like `1.0', and does promote the defaultwidth of `DOUBLE PRECISION' to 16 bytes if possible, unless`-fdefault-double-8' is given, too.`-fdollar-ok'Allow `$' as a valid non-first character in a symbol name. Symbolsthat start with `$' are rejected since it is unclear which rules toapply to implicit typing as different vendors implement differentrules. Using `$' in `IMPLICIT' statements is also rejected.`-fbackslash'Change the interpretation of backslashes in string literals from asingle backslash character to "C-style" escape characters. Thefollowing combinations are expanded `\a', `\b', `\f', `\n', `\r',`\t', `\v', `\\', and `\0' to the ASCII characters alert,backspace, form feed, newline, carriage return, horizontal tab,vertical tab, backslash, and NUL, respectively. Additionally,`\x'NN, `\u'NNNN and `\U'NNNNNNNN (where each N is a hexadecimaldigit) are translated into the Unicode characters corresponding tothe specified code points. All other combinations of a characterpreceded by \ are unexpanded.`-fmodule-private'Set the default accessibility of module entities to `PRIVATE'.Use-associated entities will not be accessible unless they areexplicitly declared as `PUBLIC'.`-ffixed-line-length-N'Set column after which characters are ignored in typical fixed-formlines in the source file, and through which spaces are assumed (asif padded to that length) after the ends of short fixed-form lines.Popular values for N include 72 (the standard and the default), 80(card image), and 132 (corresponding to "extended-source" optionsin some popular compilers). N may also be `none', meaning thatthe entire line is meaningful and that continued characterconstants never have implicit spaces appended to them to fill outthe line. `-ffixed-line-length-0' means the same thing as`-ffixed-line-length-none'.`-ffree-line-length-N'Set column after which characters are ignored in typical free-formlines in the source file. The default value is 132. N may be`none', meaning that the entire line is meaningful.`-ffree-line-length-0' means the same thing as`-ffree-line-length-none'.`-fmax-identifier-length=N'Specify the maximum allowed identifier length. Typical values are31 (Fortran 95) and 63 (Fortran 2003 and Fortran 2008).`-fimplicit-none'Specify that no implicit typing is allowed, unless overridden byexplicit `IMPLICIT' statements. This is the equivalent of adding`implicit none' to the start of every procedure.`-fcray-pointer'Enable the Cray pointer extension, which provides C-like pointerfunctionality.`-fopenmp'Enable the OpenMP extensions. This includes OpenMP `!$omp'directives in free form and `c$omp', `*$omp' and `!$omp'directives in fixed form, `!$' conditional compilation sentinelsin free form and `c$', `*$' and `!$' sentinels in fixed form, andwhen linking arranges for the OpenMP runtime library to be linkedin. The option `-fopenmp' implies `-frecursive'.`-fno-range-check'Disable range checking on results of simplification of constantexpressions during compilation. For example, GNU Fortran will givean error at compile time when simplifying `a = 1. / 0'. With thisoption, no error will be given and `a' will be assigned the value`+Infinity'. If an expression evaluates to a value outside of therelevant range of [`-HUGE()':`HUGE()'], then the expression willbe replaced by `-Inf' or `+Inf' as appropriate. Similarly, `DATAi/Z'FFFFFFFF'/' will result in an integer overflow on mostsystems, but with `-fno-range-check' the value will "wrap around"and `i' will be initialized to -1 instead.`-std=STD'Specify the standard to which the program is expected to conform,which may be one of `f95', `f2003', `f2008', `gnu', or `legacy'.The default value for STD is `gnu', which specifies a superset ofthe Fortran 95 standard that includes all of the extensionssupported by GNU Fortran, although warnings will be given forobsolete extensions not recommended for use in new code. The`legacy' value is equivalent but without the warnings for obsoleteextensions, and may be useful for old non-standard programs. The`f95', `f2003' and `f2008' values specify strict conformance tothe Fortran 95, Fortran 2003 and Fortran 2008 standards,respectively; errors are given for all extensions beyond therelevant language standard, and warnings are given for the Fortran77 features that are permitted but obsolescent in later standards.File: gfortran.info, Node: Preprocessing Options, Next: Error and Warning Options, Prev: Fortran Dialect Options, Up: Invoking GNU Fortran2.3 Enable and customize preprocessing======================================Preprocessor related options. See section *note Preprocessing andconditional compilation:: for more detailed information onpreprocessing in `gfortran'.`-cpp'`-nocpp'Enable preprocessing. The preprocessor is automatically invoked ifthe file extension is `.fpp', `.FPP', `.F', `.FOR', `.FTN',`.F90', `.F95', `.F03' or `.F08'. Use this option to manuallyenable preprocessing of any kind of Fortran file.To disable preprocessing of files with any of the above listedextensions, use the negative form: `-nocpp'.The preprocessor is run in traditional mode, be aware that anyrestrictions of the file-format, e.g. fixed-form line width, applyfor preprocessed output as well.`-dM'Instead of the normal output, generate a list of `'#define''directives for all the macros defined during the execution of thepreprocessor, including predefined macros. This gives you a way offinding out what is predefined in your version of the preprocessor.Assuming you have no file `foo.f90', the commandtouch foo.f90; gfortran -cpp -dM foo.f90will show all the predefined macros.`-dD'Like `-dM' except in two respects: it does not include thepredefined macros, and it outputs both the `#define' directivesand the result of preprocessing. Both kinds of output go to thestandard output file.`-dN'Like `-dD', but emit only the macro names, not their expansions.`-dU'Like `dD' except that only macros that are expanded, or whosedefinedness is tested in preprocessor directives, are output; theoutput is delayed until the use or test of the macro; and`'#undef'' directives are also output for macros tested butundefined at the time.`-dI'Output `'#include'' directives in addition to the result ofpreprocessing.`-fworking-directory'Enable generation of linemarkers in the preprocessor output thatwill let the compiler know the current working directory at thetime of preprocessing. When this option is enabled, thepreprocessor will emit, after the initial linemarker, a secondlinemarker with the current working directory followed by twoslashes. GCC will use this directory, when it's present in thepreprocessed input, as the directory emitted as the currentworking directory in some debugging information formats. Thisoption is implicitly enabled if debugging information is enabled,but this can be inhibited with the negated form`-fno-working-directory'. If the `-P' flag is present in thecommand line, this option has no effect, since no `#line'directives are emitted whatsoever.`-idirafter DIR'Search DIR for include files, but do it after all directoriesspecified with `-I' and the standard system directories have beenexhausted. DIR is treated as a system include directory. If dirbegins with `=', then the `=' will be replaced by the sysrootprefix; see `--sysroot' and `-isysroot'.`-imultilib DIR'Use DIR as a subdirectory of the directory containingtarget-specific C++ headers.`-iprefix PREFIX'Specify PREFIX as the prefix for subsequent `-iwithprefix'options. If the PREFIX represents a directory, you should includethe final `'/''.`-isysroot DIR'This option is like the `--sysroot' option, but applies only toheader files. See the `--sysroot' option for more information.`-iquote DIR'Search DIR only for header files requested with `#include "file"';they are not searched for `#include <file>', before all directoriesspecified by `-I' and before the standard system directories. IfDIR begins with `=', then the `=' will be replaced by the sysrootprefix; see `--sysroot' and `-isysroot'.`-isystem DIR'Search DIR for header files, after all directories specified by`-I' but before the standard system directories. Mark it as asystem directory, so that it gets the same special treatment as isapplied to the standard system directories.

All comments are passed through to theoutput file, except for comments in processed directives, whichare deleted along with the directive.You should be prepared for side effects when using `-C'; it causesthe preprocessor to treat comments as tokens in their own right.For example, comments appearing at the start of what would be adirective line have the effect of turning that line into anordinary source line, since the first token on the line is nolonger a `'#''.Warning: this currently handles C-Style comments only. Thepreprocessor does not yet recognize Fortran-style comments.`-CC'Do not discard comments, including during macro expansion. This islike `-C', except that comments contained within macros are alsopassed through to the output file where the macro is expanded.In addition to the side-effects of the `-C' option, the `-CC'option causes all C++-style comments inside a macro to beconverted to C-style comments. This is to prevent later use ofthat macro from inadvertently commenting out the remainder of thesource line. The `-CC' option is generally used to support lintcomments.Warning: this currently handles C- and C++-Style comments only. Thepreprocessor does not yet recognize Fortran-style comments.`-DNAME'Predefine name as a macro, with definition `1'.`-DNAME=DEFINITION'The contents of DEFINITION are tokenized and processed as if theyappeared during translation phase three in a `'#define'' directive.In particular, the definition will be truncated by embedded newlinecharacters.If you are invoking the preprocessor from a shell or shell-likeprogram you may need to use the shell's quoting syntax to protectcharacters such as spaces that have a meaning in the shell syntax.If you wish to define a function-like macro on the command line,write its argument list with surrounding parentheses before theequals sign (if any). Parentheses are meaningful to most shells,so you will need to quote the option.

The compiler willcontinue to process the program in an attempt to report further errorsto aid in debugging, but will not produce any compiled output.Warnings are diagnostic messages that report constructions which arenot inherently erroneous but which are risky or suggest there is likelyto be a bug in the program. Unless `-Werror' is specified, they do notprevent compilation of the program.You can request many specific warnings with options beginning `-W',for example `-Wimplicit' to request warnings on implicit declarations.Each of these specific warning options also has a negative formbeginning `-Wno-' to turn off warnings; for example, `-Wno-implicit'.This manual lists only one of the two forms, whichever is not thedefault.These options control the amount and kinds of errors and warningsproduced by GNU Fortran:`-fmax-errors=N'Limits the maximum number of error messages to N, at which pointGNU Fortran bails out rather than attempting to continueprocessing the source code. If N is 0, there is no limit on thenumber of error messages produced.`-fsyntax-only'Check the code for syntax errors, but don't actually compile it.This will generate module files for each module present in thecode, but no other output file.`-pedantic'Issue warnings for uses of extensions to Fortran 95. `-pedantic'also applies to C-language constructs where they occur in GNUFortran source files, such as use of `\e' in a character constantwithin a directive like `#include'.Valid Fortran 95 programs should compile properly with or withoutthis option. However, without this option, certain GNU extensionsand traditional Fortran features are supported as well. With thisoption, many of them are rejected.Some users try to use `-pedantic' to check programs forconformance. They soon find that it does not do quite what theywant--it finds some nonstandard practices, but not all. However,improvements to GNU Fortran in this area are welcome.This should be used in conjunction with `-std=f95', `-std=f2003'or `-std=f2008'.`-pedantic-errors'Like `-pedantic', except that errors are produced rather thanwarnings.`-Wall'Enables commonly used warning options pertaining to usage that werecommend avoiding and that we believe are easy to avoid. Thiscurrently includes `-Waliasing', `-Wampersand', `-Wsurprising',`-Wintrinsics-std', `-Wno-tabs', `-Wintrinsic-shadow' and`-Wline-truncation'.`-Waliasing'Warn about possible aliasing of dummy arguments. Specifically, itwarns if the same actual argument is associated with a dummyargument with `INTENT(IN)' and a dummy argument with `INTENT(OUT)'in a call with an explicit interface.The following example will trigger the warning.interfacesubroutine bar(a,b)integer, intent(in) :: ainteger, intent(out) :: bend subroutineend interfaceinteger :: acall bar(a,a)`-Wampersand'Warn about missing ampersand in continued character constants. Thewarning is given with `-Wampersand', `-pedantic', `-std=f95',`-std=f2003' and `-std=f2008'. Note: With no ampersand given in acontinued character constant, GNU Fortran assumes continuation atthe first non-comment, non-whitespace character after the ampersandthat initiated the continuation.`-Warray-temporaries'Warn about array temporaries generated by the compiler. Theinformation generated by this warning is sometimes useful inoptimization, in order to avoid such temporaries.`-Wcharacter-truncation'Warn when a character assignment will truncate the assigned string.`-Wline-truncation'Warn when a source code line will be truncated.`-Wconversion'Warn about implicit conversions between different types.`-Wimplicit-interface'Warn if a procedure is called without an explicit interface. Notethis only checks that an explicit interface is present. It doesnot check that the declared interfaces are consistent acrossprogram units.`-Wimplicit-procedure'Warn if a procedure is called that has neither an explicitinterface nor has been declared as `EXTERNAL'.`-Wintrinsics-std'Warn if `gfortran' finds a procedure named like an intrinsic notavailable in the currently selected standard (with `-std') andtreats it as `EXTERNAL' procedure because of this.`-fall-intrinsics' can be used to never trigger this behavior andalways link to the intrinsic regardless of the selected standard.`-Wsurprising'Produce a warning when "suspicious" code constructs areencountered. While technically legal these usually indicate thatan error has been made.This currently produces a warning under the followingcircumstances:* An INTEGER SELECT construct has a CASE that can never bematched as its lower value is greater than its upper value.* A LOGICAL SELECT construct has three CASE statements.* A TRANSFER specifies a source that is shorter than thedestination.* The type of a function result is declared more than once withthe same type. If `-pedantic' or standard-conforming mode isenabled, this is an error.* A `CHARACTER' variable is declared with negative length.`-Wtabs'By default, tabs are accepted as whitespace, but tabs are notmembers of the Fortran Character Set. For continuation lines, atab followed by a digit between 1 and 9 is supported. `-Wno-tabs'will cause a warning to be issued if a tab is encountered. Note,`-Wno-tabs' is active for `-pedantic', `-std=f95', `-std=f2003',`-std=f2008' and `-Wall'.`-Wunderflow'Produce a warning when numerical constant expressions areencountered, which yield an UNDERFLOW during compilation.`-Wintrinsic-shadow'Warn if a user-defined procedure or module procedure has the samename as an intrinsic; in this case, an explicit interface or`EXTERNAL' or `INTRINSIC' declaration might be needed to get callslater resolved to the desired intrinsic/procedure.`-Wunused-parameter'Contrary to `gcc''s meaning of `-Wunused-parameter', `gfortran''simplementation of this option does not warn about unused dummyarguments, but about unused `PARAMETER' values.`-Wunused-parameter' is not included in `-Wall' but is implied by`-Wall -Wextra'.`-Walign-commons'By default, `gfortran' warns about any occasion of variables beingpadded for proper alignment inside a COMMON block. This warningcan be turned off via `-Wno-align-commons'. See also`-falign-commons'.`-Werror'Turns all warnings into errors.*Note Options to Request or Suppress Errors and Warnings: (gcc)Errorand Warning Options, for information on more options offered by the GBEshared by `gfortran', `gcc' and other GNU compilers.Some of these have no effect when compiling programs written inFortran.File: gfortran.info, Node: Debugging Options, Next: Directory Options, Prev: Error and Warning Options, Up: Invoking GNU Fortran2.5 Options for debugging your program or GNU Fortran=====================================================GNU Fortran has various special options that are used for debuggingeither your program or the GNU Fortran compiler.`-fdump-parse-tree'Output the internal parse tree before starting code generation.Only really useful for debugging the GNU Fortran compiler itself.`-ffpe-trap=LIST'Specify a list of IEEE exceptions when a Floating Point Exception(FPE) should be raised. On most systems, this will result in aSIGFPE signal being sent and the program being interrupted,producing a core file useful for debugging. LIST is a (possiblyempty) comma-separated list of the following IEEE exceptions:`invalid' (invalid floating point operation, such as`SQRT(-1.0)'), `zero' (division by zero), `overflow' (overflow ina floating point operation), `underflow' (underflow in a floatingpoint operation), `precision' (loss of precision during operation)and `denormal' (operation produced a denormal value).Some of the routines in the Fortran runtime library, like`CPU_TIME', are likely to trigger floating point exceptions when`ffpe-trap=precision' is used. For this reason, the use of`ffpe-trap=precision' is not recommended.`-fbacktrace'Specify that, when a runtime error is encountered or a deadlysignal is emitted (segmentation fault, illegal instruction, buserror or floating-point exception), the Fortran runtime libraryshould output a backtrace of the error. This option only hasinfluence for compilation of the Fortran main program.`-fdump-core'Request that a core-dump file is written to disk when a runtimeerror is encountered on systems that support core dumps.

It is also added to the list of directories to searchedby an `USE' statement.The default is the current directory.`-M' is deprecated to avoid conflicts with existing GCC options.`-fintrinsic-modules-path DIR'This option specifies the location of pre-compiled intrinsicmodules, if they are not in the default location expected by thecompiler.File: gfortran.info, Node: Link Options, Next: Runtime Options, Prev: Directory Options, Up: Invoking GNU Fortran2.7 Influencing the linking step================================These options come into play when the compiler links object files intoan executable output file. They are meaningless if the compiler is notdoing a link step.`-static-libgfortran'On systems that provide `libgfortran' as a shared and a staticlibrary, this option forces the use of the static version. If noshared version of `libgfortran' was built when the compiler wasconfigured, this option has no effect.File: gfortran.info, Node: Runtime Options, Next: Code Gen Options, Prev: Link Options, Up: Invoking GNU Fortran2.8 Influencing runtime behavior================================These options affect the runtime behavior of programs compiled with GNUFortran.`-fconvert=CONVERSION'Specify the representation of data for unformatted files. Validvalues for conversion are: `native', the default; `swap', swapbetween big- and little-endian; `big-endian', use big-endianrepresentation for unformatted files; `little-endian', uselittle-endian representation for unformatted files._This option has an effect only when used in the main program.The `CONVERT' specifier and the GFORTRAN_CONVERT_UNIT environmentvariable override the default specified by `-fconvert'._`-fno-range-check'Disable range checking of input values during integer `READ'operations. For example, GNU Fortran will give an error if aninput value is outside of the relevant range of[`-HUGE()':`HUGE()']. In other words, with `INTEGER (kind=4) :: i', attempting to read -2147483648 will give an error unless`-fno-range-check' is given.`-frecord-marker=LENGTH'Specify the length of record markers for unformatted files. Validvalues for LENGTH are 4 and 8. Default is 4. _This is differentfrom previous versions of `gfortran'_, which specified a defaultrecord marker length of 8 on most systems. If you want to read orwrite files compatible with earlier versions of `gfortran', use`-frecord-marker=8'.`-fmax-subrecord-length=LENGTH'Specify the maximum length for a subrecord. The maximum permittedvalue for length is 2147483639, which is also the default. Onlyreally useful for use by the gfortran testsuite.`-fsign-zero'When enabled, floating point numbers of value zero with the signbit set are written as negative number in formatted output andtreated as negative in the `SIGN' intrinsic. `fno-sign-zero' doesnot print the negative sign of zero values and regards zero aspositive number in the `SIGN' intrinsic for compatibility with F77.Default behavior is to show the negative sign.File: gfortran.info, Node: Code Gen Options, Next: Environment Variables, Prev: Runtime Options, Up: Invoking GNU Fortran2.9 Options for code generation conventions===========================================These machine-independent options control the interface conventionsused in code generation.Most of them have both positive and negative forms; the negative formof `-ffoo' would be `-fno-foo'. In the table below, only one of theforms is listed--the one which is not the default. You can figure outthe other form by either removing `no-' or adding it.`-fno-automatic'Treat each program unit (except those marked as RECURSIVE) as ifthe `SAVE' statement were specified for every local variable andarray referenced in it. Does not affect common blocks. (SomeFortran compilers provide this option under the name `-static' or`-save'.) The default, which is `-fautomatic', uses the stack forlocal variables smaller than the value given by`-fmax-stack-var-size'. Use the option `-frecursive' to use nostatic memory.`-ff2c'Generate code designed to be compatible with code generated by`g77' and `f2c'.The calling conventions used by `g77' (originally implemented in`f2c') require functions that return type default `REAL' toactually return the C type `double', and functions that returntype `COMPLEX' to return the values via an extra argument in thecalling sequence that points to where to store the return value.Under the default GNU calling conventions, such functions simplyreturn their results as they would in GNU C--default `REAL'functions return the C type `float', and `COMPLEX' functionsreturn the GNU C type `complex'. Additionally, this optionimplies the `-fsecond-underscore' option, unless`-fno-second-underscore' is explicitly requested.This does not affect the generation of code that interfaces withthe `libgfortran' library._Caution:_ It is not a good idea to mix Fortran code compiled with`-ff2c' with code compiled with the default `-fno-f2c' callingconventions as, calling `COMPLEX' or default `REAL' functionsbetween program parts which were compiled with different callingconventions will break at execution time._Caution:_ This will break code which passes intrinsic functionsof type default `REAL' or `COMPLEX' as actual arguments, as thelibrary implementations use the `-fno-f2c' calling conventions.`-fno-underscoring'Do not transform names of entities specified in the Fortran sourcefile by appending underscores to them.With `-funderscoring' in effect, GNU Fortran appends oneunderscore to external names with no underscores. This is done toensure compatibility with code produced by many UNIX Fortrancompilers._Caution_: The default behavior of GNU Fortran is incompatiblewith `f2c' and `g77', please use the `-ff2c' option if you wantobject files compiled with GNU Fortran to be compatible withobject code created with these tools.Use of `-fno-underscoring' is not recommended unless you areexperimenting with issues such as integration of GNU Fortran intoexisting system environments (vis-a`-vis existing libraries, tools,and so on).For example, with `-funderscoring', and assuming other defaultslike `-fcase-lower' and that `j()' and `max_count()' are externalfunctions while `my_var' and `lvar' are local variables, astatement likeI = J() + MAX_COUNT (MY_VAR, LVAR)is implemented as something akin to:i = j_() + max_count__(&my_var__, &lvar);With `-fno-underscoring', the same statement is implemented as:i = j() + max_count(&my_var, &lvar);Use of `-fno-underscoring' allows direct specification ofuser-defined names while debugging and when interfacing GNU Fortrancode with other languages.Note that just because the names match does _not_ mean that theinterface implemented by GNU Fortran for an external name matchesthe interface implemented by some other language for that samename. That is, getting code produced by GNU Fortran to link tocode produced by some other compiler using this or any othermethod can be only a small part of the overall solution--gettingthe code generated by both compilers to agree on issues other thannaming can require significant effort, and, unlike namingdisagreements, linkers normally cannot detect disagreements inthese other areas.Also, note that with `-fno-underscoring', the lack of appendedunderscores introduces the very real possibility that auser-defined external name will conflict with a name in a systemlibrary, which could make finding unresolved-reference bugs quitedifficult in some cases--they might occur at program run time, andshow up only as buggy behavior at run time.In future versions of GNU Fortran we hope to improve naming andlinking issues so that debugging always involves using the namesas they appear in the source, even if the names as seen by thelinker are mangled to prevent accidental linking betweenprocedures with incompatible interfaces.`-fwhole-file'By default, GNU Fortran parses, resolves and translates eachprocedure in a file separately. Using this option modifies thissuch that the whole file is parsed and placed in a singlefront-end tree. During resolution, in addition to all the usualchecks and fixups, references to external procedures that are inthe same file effect resolution of that procedure, if not alreadydone, and a check of the interfaces. The dependences are resolvedby changing the order in which the file is translated into thebackend tree. Thus, a procedure that is referenced is translatedbefore the reference and the duplication of backend treedeclarations eliminated.`-fsecond-underscore'By default, GNU Fortran appends an underscore to external names.If this option is used GNU Fortran appends two underscores tonames with underscores and one underscore to external names withno underscores. GNU Fortran also appends two underscores tointernal names with underscores to avoid naming collisions withexternal names.This option has no effect if `-fno-underscoring' is in effect. Itis implied by the `-ff2c' option.Otherwise, with this option, an external name such as `MAX_COUNT'is implemented as a reference to the link-time external symbol`max_count__', instead of `max_count_'. This is required forcompatibility with `g77' and `f2c', and is implied by use of the`-ff2c' option.`-fcheck=<KEYWORD>'Enable the generation of run-time checks; the argument shall be acomma-delimited list of the following keywords.`all'Enable all run-time test of `-fcheck'.`array-temps'Warns at run time when for passing an actual argument atemporary array had to be generated.

It alsochecks array indices for assumed and deferred shape arraysagainst the actual allocated bounds and ensures that allstring lengths are equal for character array constructorswithout an explicit typespec.Some checks require that `-fcheck=bounds' is set for thecompilation of the main program.Note: In the future this may also include other forms ofchecking, e.g., checking substring references.`do'Enable generation of run-time checks for invalid modificationof loop iteration variables.`mem'Enable generation of run-time checks for memory allocation.Note: This option does not affect explicit allocations usingthe `ALLOCATE' statement, which will be always checked.`pointer'Enable generation of run-time checks for pointers andallocatables.`recursion'Enable generation of run-time checks for recursively calledsubroutines and functions which are not marked as recursive.See also `-frecursive'.

Use the option`-frecursive' to allow for recursive procedures which do not havea RECURSIVE attribute or for parallel programs. Use`-fno-automatic' to never use the stack.This option currently only affects local arrays declared withconstant bounds, and may not apply to all character variables.Future versions of GNU Fortran may improve this behavior.The default value for N is 32768.`-fpack-derived'This option tells GNU Fortran to pack derived type members asclosely as possible. Code compiled with this option is likely tobe incompatible with code compiled without this option, and mayexecute slower.`-frepack-arrays'In some circumstances GNU Fortran may pass assumed shape arraysections via a descriptor describing a noncontiguous area ofmemory. This option adds code to the function prologue to repackthe data into a contiguous block at runtime.This should result in faster accesses to the array. However itcan introduce significant overhead to the function call,especially when the passed data is noncontiguous.`-fshort-enums'This option is provided for interoperability with C code that wascompiled with the `-fshort-enums' option. It will make GNUFortran choose the smallest `INTEGER' kind a given enumerator setwill fit in, and give all its enumerators this kind.`-fexternal-blas'This option will make `gfortran' generate calls to BLAS functionsfor some matrix operations like `MATMUL', instead of using our ownalgorithms, if the size of the matrices involved is larger than agiven limit (see `-fblas-matmul-limit'). This may be profitableif an optimized vendor BLAS library is available. The BLASlibrary will have to be specified at link time.`-fblas-matmul-limit=N'Only significant when `-fexternal-blas' is in effect. Matrixmultiplication of matrices with size larger than (or equal to) Nwill be performed by calls to BLAS functions, while others will behandled by `gfortran' internal algorithms. If the matricesinvolved are not square, the size comparison is performed using thegeometric mean of the dimensions of the argument and resultmatrices.The default value for N is 30.`-frecursive'Allow indirect recursion by forcing all local arrays to beallocated on the stack. This flag cannot be used together with`-fmax-stack-var-size=' or `-fno-automatic'.`-finit-local-zero'`-finit-integer=N'`-finit-real=<ZERO|INF|-INF|NAN|SNAN>'`-finit-logical=<TRUE|FALSE>'`-finit-character=N'The `-finit-local-zero' option instructs the compiler toinitialize local `INTEGER', `REAL', and `COMPLEX' variables tozero, `LOGICAL' variables to false, and `CHARACTER' variables to astring of null bytes. Finer-grained initialization options areprovided by the `-finit-integer=N',`-finit-real=<ZERO|INF|-INF|NAN|SNAN>' (which also initializes thereal and imaginary parts of local `COMPLEX' variables),`-finit-logical=<TRUE|FALSE>', and `-finit-character=N' (where Nis an ASCII character value) options. These options do notinitialize components of derived type variables, nor do theyinitialize variables that appear in an `EQUIVALENCE' statement.(This limitation may be removed in future releases).Note that the `-finit-real=nan' option initializes `REAL' and`COMPLEX' variables with a quiet NaN. For a signalling NaN use`-finit-real=snan'; note, however, that compile-time optimizationsmay convert them into quiet NaN and that trapping needs to beenabled (e.g. via `-ffpe-trap').`-falign-commons'By default, `gfortran' enforces proper alignment of all variablesin a COMMON block by padding them as needed. On certain platformsthis is mandatory, on others it increases performance. If a COMMONblock is not declared with consistent data types everywhere, thispadding can cause trouble, and `-fno-align-commons ' can be usedto disable automatic alignment. The same form of this optionshould be used for all files that share a COMMON block. To avoidpotential alignment issues in COMMON blocks, it is recommended toorder objects from largests to smallest.`-fno-protect-parens'By default the parentheses in expression are honored for alloptimization levels such that the compiler does not do anyre-association. Using `-fno-protect-parens' allows the compiler toreorder REAL and COMPLEX expressions to produce faster code.

The syntaxfor the `GFORTRAN_CONVERT_UNIT' variable is:GFORTRAN_CONVERT_UNIT: mode | mode ';' exception | exception ;mode: 'native' | 'swap' | 'big_endian' | 'little_endian' ;exception: mode ':' unit_list | unit_list ;unit_list: unit_spec | unit_list unit_spec ;unit_spec: INTEGER | INTEGER '-' INTEGER ;The variable consists of an optional default mode, followed by alist of optional exceptions, which are separated by semicolons from thepreceding default and each other. Each exception consists of a formatand a comma-separated list of units. Valid values for the modes arethe same as for the `CONVERT' specifier:`NATIVE' Use the native format. This is the default.`SWAP' Swap between little- and big-endian.`LITTLE_ENDIAN' Use the little-endian format for unformatted files.`BIG_ENDIAN' Use the big-endian format for unformatted files.A missing mode for an exception is taken to mean `BIG_ENDIAN'.Examples of values for `GFORTRAN_CONVERT_UNIT' are:`'big_endian'' Do all unformatted I/O in big_endian mode.`'little_endian;native:10-20,25'' Do all unformatted I/O inlittle_endian mode, except for units 10 to 20 and 25, which are innative format.`'10-20'' Units 10 to 20 are big-endian, the rest is native.Setting the environment variables should be done on the command lineor via the `export' command for `sh'-compatible shells and via `setenv'for `csh'-compatible shells.Example for `sh':$ gfortran foo.f90$ GFORTRAN_CONVERT_UNIT='big_endian;native:10-20' ./a.outExample code for `csh':% gfortran foo.f90% setenv GFORTRAN_CONVERT_UNIT 'big_endian;native:10-20'% ./a.outUsing anything but the native representation for unformatted datacarries a significant speed overhead.

This group is known as WG5 (http://www.nag.co.uk/sc22wg5/). Thenext revision of the Fortran standard is informally referred to asFortran 2008, reflecting its planned release year. The GNU Fortrancompiler has support for some of the new features in Fortran 2008. Thissupport is based on the latest draft, available from`http://www.nag.co.uk/sc22wg5/'. However, as the final standard maydiffer from the drafts, no guarantee of backward compatibility can bemade and you should only use it for experimental purposes.The wiki (http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/Fortran2008Status) has someinformation about the current Fortran 2008 implementation status.File: gfortran.info, Node: Compiler Characteristics, Next: Mixed-Language Programming, Prev: Fortran 2003 and 2008 status, Up: Top5 Compiler Characteristics**************************This chapter describes certain characteristics of the GNU Fortrancompiler, that are not specified by the Fortran standard, but whichmight in some way or another become visible to the programmer.* Menu:* KIND Type Parameters::* Internal representation of LOGICAL variables::File: gfortran.info, Node: KIND Type Parameters, Next: Internal representation of LOGICAL variables, Up: Compiler Characteristics5.1 KIND Type Parameters========================The `KIND' type parameters supported by GNU Fortran for the primitivedata types are:`INTEGER'1, 2, 4, 8*, 16*, default: 4 (1)`LOGICAL'1, 2, 4, 8*, 16*, default: 4 (1)`REAL'4, 8, 10**, 16**, default: 4 (2)`COMPLEX'4, 8, 10**, 16**, default: 4 (2)`CHARACTER'1, 4, default: 1* = not available on all systems** = not available on all systems; additionally 10 and 16 are neveravailable at the same time(1) Unless -fdefault-integer-8 is used(2) Unless -fdefault-real-8 is usedThe `KIND' value matches the storage size in bytes, except for`COMPLEX' where the storage size is twice as much (or both real andimaginary part are a real value of the given size). It is recommendedto use the `SELECT_*_KIND' intrinsics instead of the concrete values.File: gfortran.info, Node: Internal representation of LOGICAL variables, Prev: KIND Type Parameters, Up: Compiler Characteristics5.2 Internal representation of LOGICAL variables================================================The Fortran standard does not specify how variables of `LOGICAL' typeare represented, beyond requiring that `LOGICAL' variables of defaultkind have the same storage size as default `INTEGER' and `REAL'variables. The GNU Fortran internal representation is as follows.A `LOGICAL(KIND=N)' variable is represented as an `INTEGER(KIND=N)'variable, however, with only two permissible values: `1' for `.TRUE.'and `0' for `.FALSE.'. Any other integer value results in undefinedbehavior.Note that for mixed-language programming using the `ISO_C_BINDING'feature, there is a `C_BOOL' kind that can be used to create`LOGICAL(KIND=C_BOOL)' variables which are interoperable with the C99_Bool type. The C99 _Bool type has an internal representationdescribed in the C99 standard, which is identical to the abovedescription, i.e. with 1 for true and 0 for false being the onlypermissible values. Thus the internal representation of `LOGICAL'variables in GNU Fortran is identical to C99 _Bool, except for apossible difference in storage size depending on the kind.File: gfortran.info, Node: Extensions, Next: Intrinsic Procedures, Prev: Mixed-Language Programming, Up: Top6 Extensions************The two sections below detail the extensions to standard Fortran thatare implemented in GNU Fortran, as well as some of the popular orhistorically important extensions that are not (or not yet) implemented.For the latter case, we explain the alternatives available to GNUFortran users, including replacement by standard-conforming code or GNUextensions.* Menu:* Extensions implemented in GNU Fortran::* Extensions not implemented in GNU Fortran::File: gfortran.info, Node: Extensions implemented in GNU Fortran, Next: Extensions not implemented in GNU Fortran, Up: Extensions6.1 Extensions implemented in GNU Fortran=========================================GNU Fortran implements a number of extensions over standard Fortran.This chapter contains information on their syntax and meaning. Thereare currently two categories of GNU Fortran extensions, those thatprovide functionality beyond that provided by any standard, and thosethat are supported by GNU Fortran purely for backward compatibilitywith legacy compilers. By default, `-std=gnu' allows the compiler toaccept both types of extensions, but to warn about the use of thelatter. Specifying either `-std=f95', `-std=f2003' or `-std=f2008'disables both types of extensions, and `-std=legacy' allows bothwithout warning.* Menu:* Old-style kind specifications::* Old-style variable initialization::* Extensions to namelist::* X format descriptor without count field::* Commas in FORMAT specifications::* Missing period in FORMAT specifications::* I/O item lists::* BOZ literal constants::* Real array indices::* Unary operators::* Implicitly convert LOGICAL and INTEGER values::* Hollerith constants support::* Cray pointers::* CONVERT specifier::* OpenMP::* Argument list functions::File: gfortran.info, Node: Old-style kind specifications, Next: Old-style variable initialization, Up: Extensions implemented in GNU Fortran6.1.1 Old-style kind specifications-----------------------------------GNU Fortran allows old-style kind specifications in declarations. Theselook like:TYPESPEC*size x,y,zwhere `TYPESPEC' is a basic type (`INTEGER', `REAL', etc.), andwhere `size' is a byte count corresponding to the storage size of avalid kind for that type. (For `COMPLEX' variables, `size' is thetotal size of the real and imaginary parts.) The statement thendeclares `x', `y' and `z' to be of type `TYPESPEC' with the appropriatekind. This is equivalent to the standard-conforming declarationTYPESPEC(k) x,y,zwhere `k' is the kind parameter suitable for the intended precision.As kind parameters are implementation-dependent, use the `KIND',`SELECTED_INT_KIND' and `SELECTED_REAL_KIND' intrinsics to retrieve thecorrect value, for instance `REAL*8 x' can be replaced by:INTEGER, PARAMETER :: dbl = KIND(1.0d0)REAL(KIND=dbl) :: xFile: gfortran.info, Node: Old-style variable initialization, Next: Extensions to namelist, Prev: Old-style kind specifications, Up: Extensions implemented in GNU Fortran6.1.2 Old-style variable initialization---------------------------------------GNU Fortran allows old-style initialization of variables of the form:INTEGER i/1/,j/2/REAL x(2,2) /3*0.,1./The syntax for the initializers is as for the `DATA' statement, butunlike in a `DATA' statement, an initializer only applies to thevariable immediately preceding the initialization. In other words,something like `INTEGER I,J/2,3/' is not valid. This style ofinitialization is only allowed in declarations without double colons(`::'); the double colons were introduced in Fortran 90, which alsointroduced a standard syntax for initializing variables in typedeclarations.Examples of standard-conforming code equivalent to the above exampleare:! Fortran 90INTEGER :: i = 1, j = 2REAL :: x(2,2) = RESHAPE((/0.,0.,0.,1./),SHAPE(x))! Fortran 77INTEGER i, jREAL x(2,2)DATA i/1/, j/2/, x/3*0.,1./Note that variables which are explicitly initialized in declarationsor in `DATA' statements automatically acquire the `SAVE' attribute.File: gfortran.info, Node: Extensions to namelist, Next: X format descriptor without count field, Prev: Old-style variable initialization, Up: Extensions implemented in GNU Fortran6.1.3 Extensions to namelist----------------------------GNU Fortran fully supports the Fortran 95 standard for namelist I/Oincluding array qualifiers, substrings and fully qualified derivedtypes. The output from a namelist write is compatible with namelistread. The output has all names in upper case and indentation to column1 after the namelist name. Two extensions are permitted:Old-style use of `$' instead of `&'$MYNMLX(:)%Y(2) = 1.0 2.0 3.0CH(1:4) = "abcd"$ENDIt should be noted that the default terminator is `/' rather than`&END'.Querying of the namelist when inputting from stdin. After at leastone space, entering `?' sends to stdout the namelist name and the namesof the variables in the namelist:?&mynmlxx%ych&endEntering `=?' outputs the namelist to stdout, as if `WRITE(*,NML =mynml)' had been called:=?&MYNMLX(1)%Y= 0.000000 , 1.000000 , 0.000000 ,X(2)%Y= 0.000000 , 2.000000 , 0.000000 ,X(3)%Y= 0.000000 , 3.000000 , 0.000000 ,CH=abcd, /To aid this dialog, when input is from stdin, errors send theirmessages to stderr and execution continues, even if `IOSTAT' is set.`PRINT' namelist is permitted. This causes an error if `-std=f95'is used.PROGRAM test_printREAL, dimension (4) :: x = (/1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0/)NAMELIST /mynml/ xPRINT mynmlEND PROGRAM test_printExpanded namelist reads are permitted. This causes an error if`-std=f95' is used. In the following example, the first element of thearray will be given the value 0.00 and the two succeeding elements willbe given the values 1.00 and 2.00.&MYNMLX(1,1) = 0.00 , 1.00 , 2.00/File: gfortran.info, Node: X format descriptor without count field, Next: Commas in FORMAT specifications, Prev: Extensions to namelist, Up: Extensions implemented in GNU Fortran6.1.4 `X' format descriptor without count field-----------------------------------------------To support legacy codes, GNU Fortran permits the count field of the `X'edit descriptor in `FORMAT' statements to be omitted. When omitted,the count is implicitly assumed to be one.PRINT 10, 2, 310 FORMAT (I1, X, I1)File: gfortran.info, Node: Commas in FORMAT specifications, Next: Missing period in FORMAT specifications, Prev: X format descriptor without count field, Up: Extensions implemented in GNU Fortran6.1.5 Commas in `FORMAT' specifications---------------------------------------To support legacy codes, GNU Fortran allows the comma separator to beomitted immediately before and after character string edit descriptorsin `FORMAT' statements.PRINT 10, 2, 310 FORMAT ('FOO='I1' BAR='I2)File: gfortran.info, Node: Missing period in FORMAT specifications, Next: I/O item lists, Prev: Commas in FORMAT specifications, Up: Extensions implemented in GNU Fortran6.1.6 Missing period in `FORMAT' specifications-----------------------------------------------To support legacy codes, GNU Fortran allows missing periods in formatspecifications if and only if `-std=legacy' is given on the commandline. This is considered non-conforming code and is discouraged.REAL :: valueREAD(*,10) value10 FORMAT ('F4')File: gfortran.info, Node: I/O item lists, Next: BOZ literal constants, Prev: Missing period in FORMAT specifications, Up: Extensions implemented in GNU Fortran6.1.7 I/O item lists--------------------To support legacy codes, GNU Fortran allows the input item list of the`READ' statement, and the output item lists of the `WRITE' and `PRINT'statements, to start with a comma.File: gfortran.info, Node: BOZ literal constants, Next: Real array indices, Prev: I/O item lists, Up: Extensions implemented in GNU Fortran6.1.8 BOZ literal constants---------------------------Besides decimal constants, Fortran also supports binary (`b'), octal(`o') and hexadecimal (`z') integer constants. The syntax is: `prefixquote digits quote', were the prefix is either `b', `o' or `z', quoteis either `'' or `"' and the digits are for binary `0' or `1', foroctal between `0' and `7', and for hexadecimal between `0' and `F'.(Example: `b'01011101''.)Up to Fortran 95, BOZ literals were only allowed to initializeinteger variables in DATA statements. Since Fortran 2003 BOZ literalsare also allowed as argument of `REAL', `DBLE', `INT' and `CMPLX'; theresult is the same as if the integer BOZ literal had been converted by`TRANSFER' to, respectively, `real', `double precision', `integer' or`complex'. As GNU Fortran extension the intrinsic procedures `FLOAT',`DFLOAT', `COMPLEX' and `DCMPLX' are treated alike.As an extension, GNU Fortran allows hexadecimal BOZ literalconstants to be specified using the `X' prefix, in addition to thestandard `Z' prefix. The BOZ literal can also be specified by adding asuffix to the string, for example, `Z'ABC'' and `'ABC'Z' are equivalent.Furthermore, GNU Fortran allows using BOZ literal constants outsideDATA statements and the four intrinsic functions allowed by Fortran2003. In DATA statements, in direct assignments, where the right-handside only contains a BOZ literal constant, and for old-styleinitializers of the form `integer i /o'0173'/', the constant istransferred as if `TRANSFER' had been used; for `COMPLEX' numbers, onlythe real part is initialized unless `CMPLX' is used. In all othercases, the BOZ literal constant is converted to an `INTEGER' value withthe largest decimal representation. This value is then convertednumerically to the type and kind of the variable in question. (Forinstance, `real :: r = b'0000001' + 1' initializes `r' with `2.0'.) Asdifferent compilers implement the extension differently, one should becareful when doing bitwise initialization of non-integer variables.Note that initializing an `INTEGER' variable with a statement suchas `DATA i/Z'FFFFFFFF'/' will give an integer overflow error ratherthan the desired result of -1 when `i' is a 32-bit integer on a systemthat supports 64-bit integers. The `-fno-range-check' option can beused as a workaround for legacy code that initializes integers in thismanner.File: gfortran.info, Node: Real array indices, Next: Unary operators, Prev: BOZ literal constants, Up: Extensions implemented in GNU Fortran6.1.9 Real array indices------------------------As an extension, GNU Fortran allows the use of `REAL' expressions orvariables as array indices.File: gfortran.info, Node: Unary operators, Next: Implicitly convert LOGICAL and INTEGER values, Prev: Real array indices, Up: Extensions implemented in GNU Fortran6.1.10 Unary operators----------------------As an extension, GNU Fortran allows unary plus and unary minus operatorsto appear as the second operand of binary arithmetic operators withoutthe need for parenthesis.X = Y * -ZFile: gfortran.info, Node: Implicitly convert LOGICAL and INTEGER values, Next: Hollerith constants support, Prev: Unary operators, Up: Extensions implemented in GNU Fortran6.1.11 Implicitly convert `LOGICAL' and `INTEGER' values--------------------------------------------------------As an extension for backwards compatibility with other compilers, GNUFortran allows the implicit conversion of `LOGICAL' values to `INTEGER'values and vice versa. When converting from a `LOGICAL' to an`INTEGER', `.FALSE.' is interpreted as zero, and `.TRUE.' isinterpreted as one. When converting from `INTEGER' to `LOGICAL', thevalue zero is interpreted as `.FALSE.' and any nonzero value isinterpreted as `.TRUE.'.LOGICAL :: ll = 1INTEGER :: ii = .TRUE.However, there is no implicit conversion of `INTEGER' values in`if'-statements, nor of `LOGICAL' or `INTEGER' values in I/O operations.File: gfortran.info, Node: Hollerith constants support, Next: Cray pointers, Prev: Implicitly convert LOGICAL and INTEGER values, Up: Extensions implemented in GNU Fortran6.1.12 Hollerith constants support----------------------------------GNU Fortran supports Hollerith constants in assignments, functionarguments, and `DATA' and `ASSIGN' statements. A Hollerith constant iswritten as a string of characters preceded by an integer constantindicating the character count, and the letter `H' or `h', and storedin bytewise fashion in a numeric (`INTEGER', `REAL', or `complex') or`LOGICAL' variable. The constant will be padded or truncated to fitthe size of the variable in which it is stored.Examples of valid uses of Hollerith constants:complex*16 x(2)data x /16Habcdefghijklmnop, 16Hqrstuvwxyz012345/x(1) = 16HABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPcall foo (4h abc)Invalid Hollerith constants examples:integer*4 aa = 8H12345678 ! Valid, but the Hollerith constant will be truncated.a = 0H ! At least one character is needed.In general, Hollerith constants were used to provide a rudimentaryfacility for handling character strings in early Fortran compilers,prior to the introduction of `CHARACTER' variables in Fortran 77; inthose cases, the standard-compliant equivalent is to convert theprogram to use proper character strings. On occasion, there may be acase where the intent is specifically to initialize a numeric variablewith a given byte sequence. In these cases, the same result can beobtained by using the `TRANSFER' statement, as in this example.INTEGER(KIND=4) :: aa = TRANSFER ("abcd", a) ! equivalent to: a = 4HabcdFile: gfortran.info, Node: Cray pointers, Next: CONVERT specifier, Prev: Hollerith constants support, Up: Extensions implemented in GNU Fortran6.1.13 Cray pointers--------------------Cray pointers are part of a non-standard extension that provides aC-like pointer in Fortran. This is accomplished through a pair ofvariables: an integer "pointer" that holds a memory address, and a"pointee" that is used to dereference the pointer.Pointer/pointee pairs are declared in statements of the form:pointer ( <pointer> , <pointee> )or,pointer ( <pointer1> , <pointee1> ), ( <pointer2> , <pointee2> ), ...The pointer is an integer that is intended to hold a memory address.The pointee may be an array or scalar. A pointee can be an assumedsize array--that is, the last dimension may be left unspecified byusing a `*' in place of a value--but a pointee cannot be an assumedshape array. No space is allocated for the pointee.The pointee may have its type declared before or after the pointerstatement, and its array specification (if any) may be declared before,during, or after the pointer statement. The pointer may be declared asan integer prior to the pointer statement. However, some machines havedefault integer sizes that are different than the size of a pointer,and so the following code is not portable:integer iptpointer (ipt, iarr)If a pointer is declared with a kind that is too small, the compilerwill issue a warning; the resulting binary will probably not workcorrectly, because the memory addresses stored in the pointers may betruncated. It is safer to omit the first line of the above example; ifexplicit declaration of ipt's type is omitted, then the compiler willensure that ipt is an integer variable large enough to hold a pointer.Pointer arithmetic is valid with Cray pointers, but it is not thesame as C pointer arithmetic. Cray pointers are just ordinaryintegers, so the user is responsible for determining how many bytes toadd to a pointer in order to increment it. Consider the followingexample:real target(10)real pointee(10)pointer (ipt, pointee)ipt = loc (target)ipt = ipt + 1The last statement does not set `ipt' to the address of `target(1)',as it would in C pointer arithmetic. Adding `1' to `ipt' just adds onebyte to the address stored in `ipt'.Any expression involving the pointee will be translated to use thevalue stored in the pointer as the base address.To get the address of elements, this extension provides an intrinsicfunction `LOC()'. The `LOC()' function is equivalent to the `&'operator in C, except the address is cast to an integer type:real ar(10)pointer(ipt, arpte(10))real arpteipt = loc(ar) ! Makes arpte is an alias for ararpte(1) = 1.0 ! Sets ar(1) to 1.0The pointer can also be set by a call to the `MALLOC' intrinsic (see*note MALLOC::).Cray pointees often are used to alias an existing variable. Forexample:integer target(10)integer iarr(10)pointer (ipt, iarr)ipt = loc(target)As long as `ipt' remains unchanged, `iarr' is now an alias for`target'. The optimizer, however, will not detect this aliasing, so itis unsafe to use `iarr' and `target' simultaneously. Using a pointeein any way that violates the Fortran aliasing rules or assumptions isillegal. It is the user's responsibility to avoid doing this; thecompiler works under the assumption that no such aliasing occurs.Cray pointers will work correctly when there is no aliasing (i.e.,when they are used to access a dynamically allocated block of memory),and also in any routine where a pointee is used, but any variable withwhich it shares storage is not used. Code that violates these rulesmay not run as the user intends. This is not a bug in the optimizer;any code that violates the aliasing rules is illegal. (Note that thisis not unique to GNU Fortran; any Fortran compiler that supports Craypointers will "incorrectly" optimize code with illegal aliasing.)There are a number of restrictions on the attributes that can beapplied to Cray pointers and pointees. Pointees may not have the`ALLOCATABLE', `INTENT', `OPTIONAL', `DUMMY', `TARGET', `INTRINSIC', or`POINTER' attributes. Pointers may not have the `DIMENSION', `POINTER',`TARGET', `ALLOCATABLE', `EXTERNAL', or `INTRINSIC' attributes.Pointees may not occur in more than one pointer statement. A pointeecannot be a pointer. Pointees cannot occur in equivalence, common, ordata statements.A Cray pointer may also point to a function or a subroutine. Forexample, the following excerpt is valid:implicit noneexternal subpointer (subptr,subpte)external subptesubptr = loc(sub)call subpte()[...]subroutine sub[...]end subroutine subA pointer may be modified during the course of a program, and thiswill change the location to which the pointee refers. However, whenpointees are passed as arguments, they are treated as ordinaryvariables in the invoked function. Subsequent changes to the pointerwill not change the base address of the array that was passed.File: gfortran.info, Node: CONVERT specifier, Next: OpenMP, Prev: Cray pointers, Up: Extensions implemented in GNU Fortran6.1.14 `CONVERT' specifier--------------------------GNU Fortran allows the conversion of unformatted data between little-and big-endian representation to facilitate moving of data betweendifferent systems. The conversion can be indicated with the `CONVERT'specifier on the `OPEN' statement. *Note GFORTRAN_CONVERT_UNIT::, foran alternative way of specifying the data format via an environmentvariable.Valid values for `CONVERT' are:`CONVERT='NATIVE'' Use the native format. This is the default.`CONVERT='SWAP'' Swap between little- and big-endian.`CONVERT='LITTLE_ENDIAN'' Use the little-endian representation forunformatted files.`CONVERT='BIG_ENDIAN'' Use the big-endian representation forunformatted files.Using the option could look like this:open(file='big.dat',form='unformatted',access='sequential', &convert='big_endian')The value of the conversion can be queried by using`INQUIRE(CONVERT=ch)'. The values returned are `'BIG_ENDIAN'' and`'LITTLE_ENDIAN''.`CONVERT' works between big- and little-endian for `INTEGER' valuesof all supported kinds and for `REAL' on IEEE systems of kinds 4 and 8.Conversion between different "extended double" types on differentarchitectures such as m68k and x86_64, which GNU Fortran supports as`REAL(KIND=10)' and `REAL(KIND=16)', will probably not work._Note that the values specified via the GFORTRAN_CONVERT_UNITenvironment variable will override the CONVERT specifier in the openstatement_. This is to give control over data formats to users who donot have the source code of their program available.Using anything but the native representation for unformatted datacarries a significant speed overhead. If speed in this area matters toyou, it is best if you use this only for data that needs to be portable.File: gfortran.info, Node: OpenMP, Next: Argument list functions, Prev: CONVERT specifier, Up: Extensions implemented in GNU Fortran6.1.15 OpenMP-------------OpenMP (Open Multi-Processing) is an application programming interface(API) that supports multi-platform shared memory multiprocessingprogramming in C/C++ and Fortran on many architectures, including Unixand Microsoft Windows platforms. It consists of a set of compilerdirectives, library routines, and environment variables that influencerun-time behavior.GNU Fortran strives to be compatible to the OpenMP ApplicationProgram Interface v3.0 (http://www.openmp.org/mp-documents/spec30.pdf).To enable the processing of the OpenMP directive `!$omp' infree-form source code; the `c$omp', `*$omp' and `!$omp' directives infixed form; the `!$' conditional compilation sentinels in free form;and the `c$', `*$' and `!$' sentinels in fixed form, `gfortran' needsto be invoked with the `-fopenmp'. This also arranges for automaticlinking of the GNU OpenMP runtime library *note libgomp: (libgomp)Top.The OpenMP Fortran runtime library routines are provided both in aform of a Fortran 90 module named `omp_lib' and in a form of a Fortran`include' file named `omp_lib.h'.An example of a parallelized loop taken from Appendix A.1 of theOpenMP Application Program Interface v2.5:SUBROUTINE A1(N, A, B)INTEGER I, NREAL B(N), A(N)!$OMP PARALLEL DO !I is private by defaultDO I=2,NB(I) = (A(I) + A(I-1)) / 2.0ENDDO!$OMP END PARALLEL DOEND SUBROUTINE A1Please note:* `-fopenmp' implies `-frecursive', i.e., all local arrays will beallocated on the stack. When porting existing code to OpenMP, thismay lead to surprising results, especially to segmentation faultsif the stacksize is limited.* On glibc-based systems, OpenMP enabled applications cannot bestatically linked due to limitations of the underlyingpthreads-implementation. It might be possible to get a workingsolution if `-Wl,--whole-archive -lpthread -Wl,--no-whole-archive'is added to the command line. However, this is not supported by`gcc' and thus not recommended.File: gfortran.info, Node: Argument list functions, Prev: OpenMP, Up: Extensions implemented in GNU Fortran6.1.16 Argument list functions `%VAL', `%REF' and `%LOC'--------------------------------------------------------GNU Fortran supports argument list functions `%VAL', `%REF' and `%LOC'statements, for backward compatibility with g77. It is recommendedthat these should be used only for code that is accessing facilitiesoutside of GNU Fortran, such as operating system or windowingfacilities. It is best to constrain such uses to isolated portions of aprogram-portions that deal specifically and exclusively with low-level,system-dependent facilities. Such portions might well provide aportable interface for use by the program as a whole, but arethemselves not portable, and should be thoroughly tested each time theyare rebuilt using a new compiler or version of a compiler.`%VAL' passes a scalar argument by value, `%REF' passes it byreference and `%LOC' passes its memory location. Since gfortranalready passes scalar arguments by reference, `%REF' is in effect ado-nothing. `%LOC' has the same effect as a Fortran pointer.An example of passing an argument by value to a C subroutine foo.:CC prototype void foo_ (float x);Cexternal fooreal*4 xx = 3.14159call foo (%VAL (x))endFor details refer to the g77 manual`http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-3.4.6/g77/index.html#Top'.Also, `c_by_val.f' and its partner `c_by_val.c' of the GNU Fortrantestsuite are worth a look.File: gfortran.info, Node: Extensions not implemented in GNU Fortran, Prev: Extensions implemented in GNU Fortran, Up: Extensions6.2 Extensions not implemented in GNU Fortran=============================================The long history of the Fortran language, its wide use and broaduserbase, the large number of different compiler vendors and the lack ofsome features crucial to users in the first standards have lead to theexistence of a number of important extensions to the language. Whilesome of the most useful or popular extensions are supported by the GNUFortran compiler, not all existing extensions are supported. Thissection aims at listing these extensions and offering advice on howbest make code that uses them running with the GNU Fortran compiler.* Menu:* STRUCTURE and RECORD::* ENCODE and DECODE statements::* Variable FORMAT expressions::File: gfortran.info, Node: STRUCTURE and RECORD, Next: ENCODE and DECODE statements, Up: Extensions not implemented in GNU Fortran6.2.1 `STRUCTURE' and `RECORD'------------------------------Structures are user-defined aggregate data types; this functionality wasstandardized in Fortran 90 with an different syntax, under the name of"derived types". Here is an example of code using the non portablestructure syntax:! Declaring a structure named ``item'' and containing three fields:! an integer ID, an description string and a floating-point price.STRUCTURE /item/INTEGER idCHARACTER(LEN=200) descriptionREAL priceEND STRUCTURE! Define two variables, an single record of type ``item''! named ``pear'', and an array of items named ``store_catalog''RECORD /item/ pear, store_catalog(100)!

We can also manipulate the whole structurestore_catalog(12) = pearprint *, store_catalog(12)This code can easily be rewritten in the Fortran 90 syntax as following:! ``STRUCTURE /name/ ...

For example,replace a code fragment likeINTEGER*1 LINE(80)REAL A, B, Cc ... Code that sets LINEDECODE (80, 9000, LINE) A, B, C9000 FORMAT (1X, 3(F10.5))with the following:CHARACTER(LEN=80) LINEREAL A, B, Cc ... Code that sets LINEREAD (UNIT=LINE, FMT=9000) A, B, C9000 FORMAT (1X, 3(F10.5))Similarly, replace a code fragment likeINTEGER*1 LINE(80)REAL A, B, Cc ... Code that sets A, B and CENCODE (80, 9000, LINE) A, B, C9000 FORMAT (1X, 'OUTPUT IS ', 3(F10.5))with the following:CHARACTER(LEN=80) LINEREAL A, B, Cc ...

GNU Fortrandoes not support this legacy extension. The effect of variable formatexpressions can be reproduced by using the more powerful (and standard)combination of internal output and string formats. For example, replacea code fragment like this:WRITE(6,20) INT120 FORMAT(I<N+1>)with the following:c Variable declarationCHARACTER(LEN=20) Fcc Other code here...cWRITE(FMT,'("(I", I0, ")")') N+1WRITE(6,FM) INT1or with:c Variable declarationCHARACTER(LEN=20) FMTcc Other code here...cWRITE(FMT,*) N+1WRITE(6,"(I" // ADJUSTL(FMT) // ")") INT1File: gfortran.info, Node: Mixed-Language Programming, Next: Extensions, Prev: Compiler Characteristics, Up: Top7 Mixed-Language Programming***************************** Menu:* Interoperability with C::* GNU Fortran Compiler Directives::* Non-Fortran Main Program::This chapter is about mixed-language interoperability, but alsoapplies if one links Fortran code compiled by different compilers. Inmost cases, use of the C Binding features of the Fortran 2003 standardis sufficient, and their use is highly recommended.File: gfortran.info, Node: Interoperability with C, Next: GNU Fortran Compiler Directives, Up: Mixed-Language Programming7.1 Interoperability with C===========================* Menu:* Intrinsic Types::* Further Interoperability of Fortran with C::* Derived Types and struct::* Interoperable Global Variables::* Interoperable Subroutines and Functions::Since Fortran 2003 (ISO/IEC 1539-1:2004(E)) there is a standardizedway to generate procedure and derived-type declarations and globalvariables which are interoperable with C (ISO/IEC 9899:1999). The`bind(C)' attribute has been added to inform the compiler that a symbolshall be interoperable with C; also, some constraints are added. Note,however, that not all C features have a Fortran equivalent or viceversa. For instance, neither C's unsigned integers nor C's functionswith variable number of arguments have an equivalent in Fortran.Note that array dimensions are reversely ordered in C and thatarrays in C always start with index 0 while in Fortran they start bydefault with 1. Thus, an array declaration `A(n,m)' in Fortran matches`A[m][n]' in C and accessing the element `A(i,j)' matches`A[j-1][i-1]'. The element following `A(i,j)' (C: `A[j-1][i-1]';assuming i < n) in memory is `A(i+1,j)' (C: `A[j-1][i]').File: gfortran.info, Node: Intrinsic Types, Next: Further Interoperability of Fortran with C, Up: Interoperability with C7.1.1 Intrinsic Types---------------------In order to ensure that exactly the same variable type and kind is usedin C and Fortran, the named constants shall be used which are definedin the `ISO_C_BINDING' intrinsic module. That module contains namedconstants for kind parameters and character named constants for theescape sequences in C. For a list of the constants, see *noteISO_C_BINDING::.File: gfortran.info, Node: Derived Types and struct, Next: Interoperable Global Variables, Prev: Further Interoperability of Fortran with C, Up: Interoperability with C7.1.2 Derived Types and struct------------------------------For compatibility of derived types with `struct', one needs to use the`BIND(C)' attribute in the type declaration. For instance, thefollowing type declarationUSE ISO_C_BINDINGTYPE, BIND(C) :: myTypeINTEGER(C_INT) :: i1, i2INTEGER(C_SIGNED_CHAR) :: i3REAL(C_DOUBLE) :: d1COMPLEX(C_FLOAT_COMPLEX) :: c1CHARACTER(KIND=C_CHAR) :: str(5)END TYPEmatches the following `struct' declaration in Cstruct {int i1, i2;/* Note: "char" might be signed or unsigned. */signed char i3;double d1;float _Complex c1;char str[5];} myType;Derived types with the C binding attribute shall not have the`sequence' attribute, type parameters, the `extends' attribute, nortype-bound procedures. Every component must be of interoperable typeand kind and may not have the `pointer' or `allocatable' attribute. Thenames of the variables are irrelevant for interoperability.As there exist no direct Fortran equivalents, neither unions norstructs with bit field or variable-length array members areinteroperable.File: gfortran.info, Node: Interoperable Global Variables, Next: Interoperable Subroutines and Functions, Prev: Derived Types and struct, Up: Interoperability with C7.1.3 Interoperable Global Variables------------------------------------Variables can be made accessible from C using the C binding attribute,optionally together with specifying a binding name. Those variableshave to be declared in the declaration part of a `MODULE', be ofinteroperable type, and have neither the `pointer' nor the`allocatable' attribute.MODULE mUSE myType_moduleUSE ISO_C_BINDINGinteger(C_INT), bind(C, name="_MyProject_flags") :: global_flagtype(myType), bind(C) :: tpEND MODULEHere, `_MyProject_flags' is the case-sensitive name of the variableas seen from C programs while `global_flag' is the case-insensitivename as seen from Fortran. If no binding name is specified, as for TP,the C binding name is the (lowercase) Fortran binding name. If abinding name is specified, only a single variable may be after thedouble colon. Note of warning: You cannot use a global variable toaccess ERRNO of the C library as the C standard allows it to be amacro. Use the `IERRNO' intrinsic (GNU extension) instead.File: gfortran.info, Node: Interoperable Subroutines and Functions, Prev: Interoperable Global Variables, Up: Interoperability with C7.1.4 Interoperable Subroutines and Functions---------------------------------------------Subroutines and functions have to have the `BIND(C)' attribute to becompatible with C. The dummy argument declaration is relativelystraightforward. However, one needs to be careful because C usescall-by-value by default while Fortran behaves usually similar tocall-by-reference. Furthermore, strings and pointers are handleddifferently. Note that only explicit size and assumed-size arrays aresupported but not assumed-shape or allocatable arrays.To pass a variable by value, use the `VALUE' attribute. Thus thefollowing C prototype`int func(int i, int *j)'matches the Fortran declarationinteger(c_int) function func(i,j)use iso_c_binding, only: c_intinteger(c_int), VALUE :: iinteger(c_int) :: jNote that pointer arguments also frequently need the `VALUE'attribute.Strings are handled quite differently in C and Fortran. In C a stringis a `NUL'-terminated array of characters while in Fortran each stringhas a length associated with it and is thus not terminated (by e.g.`NUL'). For example, if one wants to use the following C function,#include <stdio.h>void print_C(char *string) /* equivalent: char string[] */{printf("%s\n", string);}to print "Hello World" from Fortran, one can call it usinguse iso_c_binding, only: C_CHAR, C_NULL_CHARinterfacesubroutine print_c(string) bind(C, name="print_C")use iso_c_binding, only: c_charcharacter(kind=c_char) :: string(*)end subroutine print_cend interfacecall print_c(C_CHAR_"Hello World"//C_NULL_CHAR)As the example shows, one needs to ensure that the string is `NUL'terminated. Additionally, the dummy argument STRING of `print_C' is alength-one assumed-size array; using `character(len=*)' is not allowed.The example above uses `c_char_"Hello World"' to ensure the stringliteral has the right type; typically the default character kind and`c_char' are the same and thus `"Hello World"' is equivalent. However,the standard does not guarantee this.The use of pointers is now illustrated using the C library function`strncpy', whose prototype ischar *strncpy(char *restrict s1, const char *restrict s2, size_t n);The function `strncpy' copies at most N characters from string S2 toS1 and returns S1. In the following example, we ignore the return value:use iso_c_bindingimplicit nonecharacter(len=30) :: str,str2interface! Ignore the return value of strncpy -> subroutine! "restrict" is always assumed if we do not pass a pointersubroutine strncpy(dest, src, n) bind(C)importcharacter(kind=c_char), intent(out) :: dest(*)character(kind=c_char), intent(in) :: src(*)integer(c_size_t), value, intent(in) :: nend subroutine strncpyend interfacestr = repeat('X',30) ! Initialize whole string with 'X'call strncpy(str, c_char_"Hello World"//C_NULL_CHAR, &len(c_char_"Hello World",kind=c_size_t))print '(a)', str ! prints: "Hello WorldXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"endC pointers are represented in Fortran via the special derived type`type(c_ptr)', with private components. Thus one needs to use intrinsicconversion procedures to convert from or to C pointers. For example,use iso_c_bindingtype(c_ptr) :: cptr1, cptr2integer, target :: array(7), scalarinteger, pointer :: pa(:), pscptr1 = c_loc(array(1)) ! The programmer needs to ensure that the! array is contiguous if required by the C! procedurecptr2 = c_loc(scalar)call c_f_pointer(cptr2, ps)call c_f_pointer(cptr2, pa, shape=[7])When converting C to Fortran arrays, the one-dimensional `SHAPE'argument has to be passed. Note: A pointer argument `void *' matches`TYPE(C_PTR), VALUE' while `TYPE(C_PTR)' matches `void **'.Procedure pointers are handled analogously to pointers; the C type is`TYPE(C_FUNPTR)' and the intrinsic conversion procedures are`C_F_PROC_POINTER' and `C_FUNLOC'.The intrinsic procedures are described in *note IntrinsicProcedures::.File: gfortran.info, Node: Further Interoperability of Fortran with C, Next: Derived Types and struct, Prev: Intrinsic Types, Up: Interoperability with C7.1.5 Further Interoperability of Fortran with C------------------------------------------------Assumed-shape and allocatable arrays are passed using an arraydescriptor (dope vector). The internal structure of the arraydescriptor used by GNU Fortran is not yet documented and will change.There will also be a Technical Report (TR 29113) which standardizes aninteroperable array descriptor. Until then, you can use the ChasmLanguage Interoperability Tools,`http://chasm-interop.sourceforge.net/', which provide an interface toGNU Fortran's array descriptor.The technical report 29113 will presumably also include support forC-interoperable `OPTIONAL' and for assumed-rank and assumed-type dummyarguments. However, the TR has neither been approved nor implemented inGNU Fortran; therefore, these features are not yet available.File: gfortran.info, Node: GNU Fortran Compiler Directives, Next: Non-Fortran Main Program, Prev: Interoperability with C, Up: Mixed-Language Programming7.2 GNU Fortran Compiler Directives===================================The Fortran standard standard describes how a conforming program shallbehave; however, the exact implementation is not standardized. In orderto allow the user to choose specific implementation details, compilerdirectives can be used to set attributes of variables and procedureswhich are not part of the standard. Whether a given attribute issupported and its exact effects depend on both the operating system andon the processor; see *note C Extensions: (gcc)Top. for details.For procedures and procedure pointers, the following attributes canbe used to change the calling convention:* `CDECL' - standard C calling convention* `STDCALL' - convention where the called procedure pops the stack* `FASTCALL' - part of the arguments are passed via registersinstead using the stackBesides changing the calling convention, the attributes alsoinfluence the decoration of the symbol name, e.g., by a leadingunderscore or by a trailing at-sign followed by the number of bytes onthe stack. When assigning a procedure to a procedure pointer, bothshould use the same calling convention.On some systems, procedures and global variables (module variablesand `COMMON' blocks) need special handling to be accessible when theyare in a shared library. The following attributes are available:* `DLLEXPORT' - provide a global pointer to a pointer in the DLL* `DLLIMPORT' - reference the function or variable using a globalpointerThe attributes are specified using the syntax`!GCC$ ATTRIBUTES' ATTRIBUTE-LIST `::' VARIABLE-LISTwhere in free-form source code only whitespace is allowed before`!GCC$' and in fixed-form source code `!GCC$', `cGCC$' or `*GCC$' shallstart in the first column.For procedures, the compiler directives shall be placed into the bodyof the procedure; for variables and procedure pointers, they shall be inthe same declaration part as the variable or procedure pointer.File: gfortran.info, Node: Non-Fortran Main Program, Prev: GNU Fortran Compiler Directives, Up: Mixed-Language Programming7.3 Non-Fortran Main Program============================* Menu:* _gfortran_set_args:: Save command-line arguments* _gfortran_set_options:: Set library option flags* _gfortran_set_convert:: Set endian conversion* _gfortran_set_record_marker:: Set length of record markers* _gfortran_set_max_subrecord_length:: Set subrecord length* _gfortran_set_fpe:: Set when a Floating Point Exception should be raisedEven if you are doing mixed-language programming, it is very likelythat you do not need to know or use the information in this section.Since it is about the internal structure of GNU Fortran, it may alsochange in GCC minor releases.When you compile a `PROGRAM' with GNU Fortran, a function with thename `main' (in the symbol table of the object file) is generated,which initializes the libgfortran library and then calls the actualprogram which uses the name `MAIN__', for historic reasons. If you linkGNU Fortran compiled procedures to, e.g., a C or C++ program or to aFortran program compiled by a different compiler, the libgfortranlibrary is not initialized and thus a few intrinsic procedures do notwork properly, e.g. those for obtaining the command-line arguments.Therefore, if your `PROGRAM' is not compiled with GNU Fortran andthe GNU Fortran compiled procedures require intrinsics relying on thelibrary initialization, you need to initialize the library yourself.Using the default options, gfortran calls `_gfortran_set_args' and`_gfortran_set_options'. The initialization of the former is needed ifthe called procedures access the command line (and for backtracing);the latter sets some flags based on the standard chosen or to enablebacktracing. In typical programs, it is not necessary to call anyinitialization function.If your `PROGRAM' is compiled with GNU Fortran, you shall not callany of the following functions.

intrinsic procedures========================================The intrinsic procedures provided by GNU Fortran include all of theintrinsic procedures required by the Fortran 95 standard, a set ofintrinsic procedures for backwards compatibility with G77, and aselection of intrinsic procedures from the Fortran 2003 and Fortran 2008standards. Any conflict between a description here and a description ineither the Fortran 95 standard, the Fortran 2003 standard or the Fortran2008 standard is unintentional, and the standard(s) should be consideredauthoritative.The enumeration of the `KIND' type parameter is processor defined inthe Fortran 95 standard. GNU Fortran defines the default integer typeand default real type by `INTEGER(KIND=4)' and `REAL(KIND=4)',respectively. The standard mandates that both data types shall haveanother kind, which have more precision. On typical targetarchitectures supported by `gfortran', this kind type parameter is`KIND=8'. Hence, `REAL(KIND=8)' and `DOUBLE PRECISION' are equivalent.In the description of generic intrinsic procedures, the kind typeparameter will be specified by `KIND=*', and in the description ofspecific names for an intrinsic procedure the kind type parameter willbe explicitly given (e.g., `REAL(KIND=4)' or `REAL(KIND=8)'). Finally,for brevity the optional `KIND=' syntax will be omitted.Many of the intrinsic procedures take one or more optional arguments.This document follows the convention used in the Fortran 95 standard,and denotes such arguments by square brackets.GNU Fortran offers the `-std=f95' and `-std=gnu' options, which canbe used to restrict the set of intrinsic procedures to a givenstandard. By default, `gfortran' sets the `-std=gnu' option, and soall intrinsic procedures described here are accepted. There is onecaveat. For a select group of intrinsic procedures, `g77' implementedboth a function and a subroutine. Both classes have been implementedin `gfortran' for backwards compatibility with `g77'. It is noted herethat these functions and subroutines cannot be intermixed in a givensubprogram. In the descriptions that follow, the applicable standardfor each intrinsic procedure is noted.File: gfortran.info, Node: ABORT, Next: ABS, Prev: Introduction to Intrinsics, Up: Intrinsic Procedures8.2 `ABORT' -- Abort the program================================_Description_:`ABORT' causes immediate termination of the program.

By contrast,the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom toshare and change all versions of a program-to make sure it remains freesoftware for all its users. We, the Free Software Foundation, use theGNU General Public License for most of our software; it applies also toany other work released this way by its authors. You can apply it toyour programs, too.When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, notprice. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that youhave the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge forthem if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if youwant it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in newfree programs, and that you know you can do these things.To protect your rights, we need to prevent others from denying youthese rights or asking you to surrender the rights. Therefore, youhave certain responsibilities if you distribute copies of the software,or if you modify it: responsibilities to respect the freedom of others.For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whethergratis or for a fee, you must pass on to the recipients the samefreedoms that you received. You must make sure that they, too, receiveor can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so theyknow their rights.Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights with two steps:(1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer you this Licensegiving you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify it.For the developers' and authors' protection, the GPL clearly explainsthat there is no warranty for this free software. For both users' andauthors' sake, the GPL requires that modified versions be marked aschanged, so that their problems will not be attributed erroneously toauthors of previous versions.Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or runmodified versions of the software inside them, although themanufacturer can do so. This is fundamentally incompatible with theaim of protecting users' freedom to change the software. Thesystematic pattern of such abuse occurs in the area of products forindividuals to use, which is precisely where it is most unacceptable.Therefore, we have designed this version of the GPL to prohibit thepractice for those products. If such problems arise substantially inother domains, we stand ready to extend this provision to those domainsin future versions of the GPL, as needed to protect the freedom ofusers.Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software patents.States should not allow patents to restrict development and use ofsoftware on general-purpose computers, but in those that do, we wish toavoid the special danger that patents applied to a free program couldmake it effectively proprietary. To prevent this, the GPL assures thatpatents cannot be used to render the program non-free.The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution andmodification follow.TERMS AND CONDITIONS====================0. Definitions."This License" refers to version 3 of the GNU General PublicLicense."Copyright" also means copyright-like laws that apply to otherkinds of works, such as semiconductor masks."The Program" refers to any copyrightable work licensed under thisLicense. Each licensee is addressed as "you". "Licensees" and"recipients" may be individuals or organizations.To "modify" a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of thework in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than themaking of an exact copy. The resulting work is called a "modifiedversion" of the earlier work or a work "based on" the earlier work.A "covered work" means either the unmodified Program or a workbased on the Program.To "propagate" a work means to do anything with it that, withoutpermission, would make you directly or secondarily liable forinfringement under applicable copyright law, except executing iton a computer or modifying a private copy. Propagation includescopying, distribution (with or without modification), makingavailable to the public, and in some countries other activities aswell.To "convey" a work means any kind of propagation that enables otherparties to make or receive copies. Mere interaction with a userthrough a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is notconveying.An interactive user interface displays "Appropriate Legal Notices"to the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visiblefeature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2)tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except tothe extent that warranties are provided), that licensees mayconvey the work under this License, and how to view a copy of thisLicense. If the interface presents a list of user commands oroptions, such as a menu, a prominent item in the list meets thiscriterion.1. Source Code.The "source code" for a work means the preferred form of the workfor making modifications to it. "Object code" means anynon-source form of a work.A "Standard Interface" means an interface that either is anofficial standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, inthe case of interfaces specified for a particular programminglanguage, one that is widely used among developers working in thatlanguage.The "System Libraries" of an executable work include anything,other than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normalform of packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of thatMajor Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the workwith that Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interfacefor which an implementation is available to the public in sourcecode form. A "Major Component", in this context, means a majoressential component (kernel, window system, and so on) of thespecific operating system (if any) on which the executable workruns, or a compiler used to produce the work, or an object codeinterpreter used to run it.The "Corresponding Source" for a work in object code form means allthe source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executablework) run the object code and to modify the work, includingscripts to control those activities. However, it does not includethe work's System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generallyavailable free programs which are used unmodified in performingthose activities but which are not part of the work. For example,Corresponding Source includes interface definition filesassociated with source files for the work, and the source code forshared libraries and dynamically linked subprograms that the workis specifically designed to require, such as by intimate datacommunication or control flow between those subprograms and otherparts of the work.The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users canregenerate automatically from other parts of the CorrespondingSource.The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is thatsame work.2. Basic Permissions.All rights granted under this License are granted for the term ofcopyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the statedconditions are met. This License explicitly affirms your unlimitedpermission to run the unmodified Program. The output from runninga covered work is covered by this License only if the output,given its content, constitutes a covered work. This Licenseacknowledges your rights of fair use or other equivalent, asprovided by copyright law.You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do notconvey, without conditions so long as your license otherwiseremains in force. You may convey covered works to others for thesole purpose of having them make modifications exclusively foryou, or provide you with facilities for running those works,provided that you comply with the terms of this License inconveying all material for which you do not control copyright.Those thus making or running the covered works for you must do soexclusively on your behalf, under your direction and control, onterms that prohibit them from making any copies of yourcopyrighted material outside their relationship with you.Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely underthe conditions stated below. Sublicensing is not allowed; section10 makes it unnecessary.3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law.No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technologicalmeasure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations underarticle 11 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December1996, or similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention ofsuch measures.When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbidcircumvention of technological measures to the extent suchcircumvention is effected by exercising rights under this Licensewith respect to the covered work, and you disclaim any intentionto limit operation or modification of the work as a means ofenforcing, against the work's users, your or third parties' legalrights to forbid circumvention of technological measures.4. Conveying Verbatim Copies.You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as youreceive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously andappropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice;keep intact all notices stating that this License and anynon-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to thecode; keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; andgive all recipients a copy of this License along with the Program.You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey,and you may offer support or warranty protection for a fee.5. Conveying Modified Source Versions.You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications toproduce it from the Program, in the form of source code under theterms of section 4, provided that you also meet all of theseconditions:a. The work must carry prominent notices stating that youmodified it, and giving a relevant date.b. The work must carry prominent notices stating that it isreleased under this License and any conditions added undersection 7. This requirement modifies the requirement insection 4 to "keep intact all notices".c. You must license the entire work, as a whole, under thisLicense to anyone who comes into possession of a copy. ThisLicense will therefore apply, along with any applicablesection 7 additional terms, to the whole of the work, and allits parts, regardless of how they are packaged. This Licensegives no permission to license the work in any other way, butit does not invalidate such permission if you have separatelyreceived it.d. If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must displayAppropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program hasinteractive interfaces that do not display Appropriate LegalNotices, your work need not make them do so.A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independentworks, which are not by their nature extensions of the coveredwork, and which are not combined with it such as to form a largerprogram, in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, iscalled an "aggregate" if the compilation and its resultingcopyright are not used to limit the access or legal rights of thecompilation's users beyond what the individual works permit.Inclusion of a covered work in an aggregate does not cause thisLicense to apply to the other parts of the aggregate.6. Conveying Non-Source Forms.You may convey a covered work in object code form under the termsof sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey themachine-readable Corresponding Source under the terms of thisLicense, in one of these ways:a. Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product(including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by theCorresponding Source fixed on a durable physical mediumcustomarily used for software interchange.b. Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product(including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by awritten offer, valid for at least three years and valid foras long as you offer spare parts or customer support for thatproduct model, to give anyone who possesses the object codeeither (1) a copy of the Corresponding Source for all thesoftware in the product that is covered by this License, on adurable physical medium customarily used for softwareinterchange, for a price no more than your reasonable cost ofphysically performing this conveying of source, or (2) accessto copy the Corresponding Source from a network server at nocharge.c. Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy ofthe written offer to provide the Corresponding Source. Thisalternative is allowed only occasionally and noncommercially,and only if you received the object code with such an offer,in accord with subsection 6b.d. Convey the object code by offering access from a designatedplace (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent accessto the Corresponding Source in the same way through the sameplace at no further charge. You need not require recipientsto copy the Corresponding Source along with the object code.If the place to copy the object code is a network server, theCorresponding Source may be on a different server (operatedby you or a third party) that supports equivalent copyingfacilities, provided you maintain clear directions next tothe object code saying where to find the Corresponding Source.Regardless of what server hosts the Corresponding Source, youremain obligated to ensure that it is available for as longas needed to satisfy these requirements.e. Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission,provided you inform other peers where the object code andCorresponding Source of the work are being offered to thegeneral public at no charge under subsection 6d.A separable portion of the object code, whose source code isexcluded from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, neednot be included in conveying the object code work.A "User Product" is either (1) a "consumer product", which meansany tangible personal property which is normally used for personal,family, or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold forincorporation into a dwelling. In determining whether a productis a consumer product, doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor ofcoverage. For a particular product received by a particular user,"normally used" refers to a typical or common use of that class ofproduct, regardless of the status of the particular user or of theway in which the particular user actually uses, or expects or isexpected to use, the product. A product is a consumer productregardless of whether the product has substantial commercial,industrial or non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent theonly significant mode of use of the product."Installation Information" for a User Product means any methods,procedures, authorization keys, or other information required toinstall and execute modified versions of a covered work in thatUser Product from a modified version of its Corresponding Source.The information must suffice to ensure that the continuedfunctioning of the modified object code is in no case prevented orinterfered with solely because modification has been made.If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with,or specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveyingoccurs as part of a transaction in which the right of possessionand use of the User Product is transferred to the recipient inperpetuity or for a fixed term (regardless of how the transactionis characterized), the Corresponding Source conveyed under thissection must be accompanied by the Installation Information. Butthis requirement does not apply if neither you nor any third partyretains the ability to install modified object code on the UserProduct (for example, the work has been installed in ROM).The requirement to provide Installation Information does notinclude a requirement to continue to provide support service,warranty, or updates for a work that has been modified orinstalled by the recipient, or for the User Product in which ithas been modified or installed. Access to a network may be deniedwhen the modification itself materially and adversely affects theoperation of the network or violates the rules and protocols forcommunication across the network.Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Informationprovided, in accord with this section must be in a format that ispublicly documented (and with an implementation available to thepublic in source code form), and must require no special passwordor key for unpacking, reading or copying.7. Additional Terms."Additional permissions" are terms that supplement the terms ofthis License by making exceptions from one or more of itsconditions. Additional permissions that are applicable to theentire Program shall be treated as though they were included inthis License, to the extent that they are valid under applicablelaw. If additional permissions apply only to part of the Program,that part may be used separately under those permissions, but theentire Program remains governed by this License without regard tothe additional permissions.When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your optionremove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any partof it. (Additional permissions may be written to require their ownremoval in certain cases when you modify the work.) You may placeadditional permissions on material, added by you to a covered work,for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission.Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for materialyou add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyrightholders of that material) supplement the terms of this Licensewith terms:a. Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently fromthe terms of sections 15 and 16 of this License; orb. Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal noticesor author attributions in that material or in the AppropriateLegal Notices displayed by works containing it; orc. Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material,or requiring that modified versions of such material bemarked in reasonable ways as different from the originalversion; ord. Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensorsor authors of the material; ore. Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of sometrade names, trademarks, or service marks; orf. Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of thatmaterial by anyone who conveys the material (or modifiedversions of it) with contractual assumptions of liability tothe recipient, for any liability that these contractualassumptions directly impose on those licensors and authors.All other non-permissive additional terms are considered "furtherrestrictions" within the meaning of section 10. If the Program asyou received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating thatit is governed by this License along with a term that is a furtherrestriction, you may remove that term. If a license documentcontains a further restriction but permits relicensing orconveying under this License, you may add to a covered workmaterial governed by the terms of that license document, providedthat the further restriction does not survive such relicensing orconveying.If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, youmust place, in the relevant source files, a statement of theadditional terms that apply to those files, or a notice indicatingwhere to find the applicable terms.Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated inthe form of a separately written license, or stated as exceptions;the above requirements apply either way.8. Termination.You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expresslyprovided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to propagate ormodify it is void, and will automatically terminate your rightsunder this License (including any patent licenses granted underthe third paragraph of section 11).However, if you cease all violation of this License, then yourlicense from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a)provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitlyand finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if thecopyright holder fails to notify you of the violation by somereasonable means prior to 60 days after the cessation.Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder isreinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of theviolation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you havereceived notice of violation of this License (for any work) fromthat copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 daysafter your receipt of the notice.Termination of your rights under this section does not terminatethe licenses of parties who have received copies or rights fromyou under this License. If your rights have been terminated andnot permanently reinstated, you do not qualify to receive newlicenses for the same material under section 10.9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies.You are not required to accept this License in order to receive orrun a copy of the Program. Ancillary propagation of a covered workoccurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peertransmission to receive a copy likewise does not requireacceptance. However, nothing other than this License grants youpermission to propagate or modify any covered work. These actionsinfringe copyright if you do not accept this License. Therefore,by modifying or propagating a covered work, you indicate youracceptance of this License to do so.10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients.Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automaticallyreceives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify andpropagate that work, subject to this License. You are notresponsible for enforcing compliance by third parties with thisLicense.An "entity transaction" is a transaction transferring control of anorganization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing anorganization, or merging organizations. If propagation of acovered work results from an entity transaction, each party to thattransaction who receives a copy of the work also receives whateverlicenses to the work the party's predecessor in interest had orcould give under the previous paragraph, plus a right topossession of the Corresponding Source of the work from thepredecessor in interest, if the predecessor has it or can get itwith reasonable efforts.You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of therights granted or affirmed under this License. For example, youmay not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge forexercise of rights granted under this License, and you may notinitiate litigation (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in alawsuit) alleging that any patent claim is infringed by making,using, selling, offering for sale, or importing the Program or anyportion of it.11. Patents.A "contributor" is a copyright holder who authorizes use under thisLicense of the Program or a work on which the Program is based.The work thus licensed is called the contributor's "contributorversion".A contributor's "essential patent claims" are all patent claimsowned or controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired orhereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some manner,permitted by this License, of making, using, or selling itscontributor version, but do not include claims that would beinfringed only as a consequence of further modification of thecontributor version. For purposes of this definition, "control"includes the right to grant patent sublicenses in a mannerconsistent with the requirements of this License.Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide,royalty-free patent license under the contributor's essentialpatent claims, to make, use, sell, offer for sale, import andotherwise run, modify and propagate the contents of itscontributor version.In the following three paragraphs, a "patent license" is anyexpress agreement or commitment, however denominated, not toenforce a patent (such as an express permission to practice apatent or covenant not to sue for patent infringement). To"grant" such a patent license to a party means to make such anagreement or commitment not to enforce a patent against the party.If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patentlicense, and the Corresponding Source of the work is not availablefor anyone to copy, free of charge and under the terms of thisLicense, through a publicly available network server or otherreadily accessible means, then you must either (1) cause theCorresponding Source to be so available, or (2) arrange to depriveyourself of the benefit of the patent license for this particularwork, or (3) arrange, in a manner consistent with the requirementsof this License, to extend the patent license to downstreamrecipients. "Knowingly relying" means you have actual knowledgethat, but for the patent license, your conveying the covered workin a country, or your recipient's use of the covered work in acountry, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in thatcountry that you have reason to believe are valid.If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction orarrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, acovered work, and grant a patent license to some of the partiesreceiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate,modify or convey a specific copy of the covered work, then thepatent license you grant is automatically extended to allrecipients of the covered work and works based on it.A patent license is "discriminatory" if it does not include withinthe scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or isconditioned on the non-exercise of one or more of the rights thatare specifically granted under this License. You may not convey acovered work if you are a party to an arrangement with a thirdparty that is in the business of distributing software, underwhich you make payment to the third party based on the extent ofyour activity of conveying the work, and under which the thirdparty grants, to any of the parties who would receive the coveredwork from you, a discriminatory patent license (a) in connectionwith copies of the covered work conveyed by you (or copies madefrom those copies), or (b) primarily for and in connection withspecific products or compilations that contain the covered work,unless you entered into that arrangement, or that patent licensewas granted, prior to 28 March 2007.Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limitingany implied license or other defenses to infringement that mayotherwise be available to you under applicable patent law.12. No Surrender of Others' Freedom.If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order,agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of thisLicense, they do not excuse you from the conditions of thisLicense. If you cannot convey a covered work so as to satisfysimultaneously your obligations under this License and any otherpertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not convey itat all. For example, if you agree to terms that obligate you tocollect a royalty for further conveying from those to whom youconvey the Program, the only way you could satisfy both thoseterms and this License would be to refrain entirely from conveyingthe Program.13. Use with the GNU Affero General Public License.Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you havepermission to link or combine any covered work with a work licensedunder version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public License into asingle combined work, and to convey the resulting work. The termsof this License will continue to apply to the part which is thecovered work, but the special requirements of the GNU AfferoGeneral Public License, section 13, concerning interaction througha network will apply to the combination as such.14. Revised Versions of this License.The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or newversions of the GNU General Public License from time to time.Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the presentversion, but may differ in detail to address new problems orconcerns.Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If theProgram specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNUGeneral Public License "or any later version" applies to it, youhave the option of following the terms and conditions either ofthat numbered version or of any later version published by theFree Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify aversion number of the GNU General Public License, you may chooseany version ever published by the Free Software Foundation.If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which futureversions of the GNU General Public License can be used, thatproxy's public statement of acceptance of a version permanentlyauthorizes you to choose that version for the Program.Later license versions may give you additional or differentpermissions. However, no additional obligations are imposed on anyauthor or copyright holder as a result of your choosing to follow alater version.15. Disclaimer of Warranty.THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BYAPPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THECOPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS"WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED,INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OFMERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRERISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU.SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALLNECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.16. Limitation of Liability.IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO INWRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIESAND/OR CONVEYS THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOUFOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL ORCONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USETHE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATABEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRDPARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHERPROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OFTHE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.17. Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16.If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability providedabove cannot be given local legal effect according to their terms,reviewing courts shall apply local law that most closelyapproximates an absolute waiver of all civil liability inconnection with the Program, unless a warranty or assumption ofliability accompanies a copy of the Program in return for a fee.END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS===========================How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs=============================================If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatestpossible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make itfree software which everyone can redistribute and change under theseterms.To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safestto attach them to the start of each source file to most effectivelystate the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the"copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.ONE LINE TO GIVE THE PROGRAM'S NAME AND A BRIEF IDEA OF WHAT IT DOES.Copyright (C) YEAR NAME OF AUTHORThis program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modifyit under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published bythe Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or (atyour option) any later version.This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, butWITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty ofMERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the GNUGeneral Public License for more details.You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public Licensealong with this program. If not, see `http://www.gnu.org/licenses/'.Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and papermail.If the program does terminal interaction, make it output a shortnotice like this when it starts in an interactive mode:PROGRAM Copyright (C) YEAR NAME OF AUTHORThis program comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute itunder certain conditions; type `show c' for details.The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show theappropriate parts of the General Public License. Of course, yourprogram's commands might be different; for a GUI interface, you woulduse an "about box".You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) orschool, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, ifnecessary. For more information on this, and how to apply and followthe GNU GPL, see `http://www.gnu.org/licenses/'.The GNU General Public License does not permit incorporating yourprogram into proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutinelibrary, you may consider it more useful to permit linking proprietaryapplications with the library. If this is what you want to do, use theGNU Lesser General Public License instead of this License. But first,please read `http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/why-not-lgpl.html'.File: gfortran.info, Node: GNU Free Documentation License, Next: Funding, Prev: Copying, Up: TopGNU Free Documentation License******************************Version 1.2, November 2002Copyright (C) 2000,2001,2002 Free Software Foundation, Inc.51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301, USAEveryone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copiesof this license document, but changing it is not allowed.0. PREAMBLEThe purpose of this License is to make a manual, textbook, or otherfunctional and useful document "free" in the sense of freedom: toassure everyone the effective freedom to copy and redistribute it,with or without modifying it, either commercially ornoncommercially. Secondarily, this License preserves for theauthor and publisher a way to get credit for their work, while notbeing considered responsible for modifications made by others.This License is a kind of "copyleft", which means that derivativeworks of the document must themselves be free in the same sense.It complements the GNU General Public License, which is a copyleftlicense designed for free software.We have designed this License in order to use it for manuals forfree software, because free software needs free documentation: afree program should come with manuals providing the same freedomsthat the software does. But this License is not limited tosoftware manuals; it can be used for any textual work, regardlessof subject matter or whether it is published as a printed book.We recommend this License principally for works whose purpose isinstruction or reference.1. APPLICABILITY AND DEFINITIONSThis License applies to any manual or other work, in any medium,that contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying itcan be distributed under the terms of this License. Such a noticegrants a world-wide, royalty-free license, unlimited in duration,to use that work under the conditions stated herein. The"Document", below, refers to any such manual or work. Any memberof the public is a licensee, and is addressed as "you". Youaccept the license if you copy, modify or distribute the work in away requiring permission under copyright law.A "Modified Version" of the Document means any work containing theDocument or a portion of it, either copied verbatim, or withmodifications and/or translated into another language.A "Secondary Section" is a named appendix or a front-matter sectionof the Document that deals exclusively with the relationship of thepublishers or authors of the Document to the Document's overallsubject (or to related matters) and contains nothing that couldfall directly within that overall subject. (Thus, if the Documentis in part a textbook of mathematics, a Secondary Section may notexplain any mathematics.) The relationship could be a matter ofhistorical connection with the subject or with related matters, orof legal, commercial, philosophical, ethical or political positionregarding them.The "Invariant Sections" are certain Secondary Sections whosetitles are designated, as being those of Invariant Sections, inthe notice that says that the Document is released under thisLicense. If a section does not fit the above definition ofSecondary then it is not allowed to be designated as Invariant.The Document may contain zero Invariant Sections. If the Documentdoes not identify any Invariant Sections then there are none.The "Cover Texts" are certain short passages of text that arelisted, as Front-Cover Texts or Back-Cover Texts, in the noticethat says that the Document is released under this License. AFront-Cover Text may be at most 5 words, and a Back-Cover Text maybe at most 25 words.A "Transparent" copy of the Document means a machine-readable copy,represented in a format whose specification is available to thegeneral public, that is suitable for revising the documentstraightforwardly with generic text editors or (for imagescomposed of pixels) generic paint programs or (for drawings) somewidely available drawing editor, and that is suitable for input totext formatters or for automatic translation to a variety offormats suitable for input to text formatters. A copy made in anotherwise Transparent file format whose markup, or absence ofmarkup, has been arranged to thwart or discourage subsequentmodification by readers is not Transparent. An image format isnot Transparent if used for any substantial amount of text. Acopy that is not "Transparent" is called "Opaque".Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include plainASCII without markup, Texinfo input format, LaTeX input format,SGML or XML using a publicly available DTD, andstandard-conforming simple HTML, PostScript or PDF designed forhuman modification. Examples of transparent image formats includePNG, XCF and JPG. Opaque formats include proprietary formats thatcan be read and edited only by proprietary word processors, SGML orXML for which the DTD and/or processing tools are not generallyavailable, and the machine-generated HTML, PostScript or PDFproduced by some word processors for output purposes only.The "Title Page" means, for a printed book, the title page itself,plus such following pages as are needed to hold, legibly, thematerial this License requires to appear in the title page. Forworks in formats which do not have any title page as such, "TitlePage" means the text near the most prominent appearance of thework's title, preceding the beginning of the body of the text.A section "Entitled XYZ" means a named subunit of the Documentwhose title either is precisely XYZ or contains XYZ in parenthesesfollowing text that translates XYZ in another language. (Here XYZstands for a specific section name mentioned below, such as"Acknowledgements", "Dedications", "Endorsements", or "History".)To "Preserve the Title" of such a section when you modify theDocument means that it remains a section "Entitled XYZ" accordingto this definition.The Document may include Warranty Disclaimers next to the noticewhich states that this License applies to the Document. TheseWarranty Disclaimers are considered to be included by reference inthis License, but only as regards disclaiming warranties: any otherimplication that these Warranty Disclaimers may have is void andhas no effect on the meaning of this License.2. VERBATIM COPYINGYou may copy and distribute the Document in any medium, eithercommercially or noncommercially, provided that this License, thecopyright notices, and the license notice saying this Licenseapplies to the Document are reproduced in all copies, and that youadd no other conditions whatsoever to those of this License. Youmay not use technical measures to obstruct or control the readingor further copying of the copies you make or distribute. However,you may accept compensation in exchange for copies. If youdistribute a large enough number of copies you must also followthe conditions in section 3.You may also lend copies, under the same conditions stated above,and you may publicly display copies.3. COPYING IN QUANTITYIf you publish printed copies (or copies in media that commonlyhave printed covers) of the Document, numbering more than 100, andthe Document's license notice requires Cover Texts, you mustenclose the copies in covers that carry, clearly and legibly, allthese Cover Texts: Front-Cover Texts on the front cover, andBack-Cover Texts on the back cover. Both covers must also clearlyand legibly identify you as the publisher of these copies. Thefront cover must present the full title with all words of thetitle equally prominent and visible. You may add other materialon the covers in addition. Copying with changes limited to thecovers, as long as they preserve the title of the Document andsatisfy these conditions, can be treated as verbatim copying inother respects.If the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to fitlegibly, you should put the first ones listed (as many as fitreasonably) on the actual cover, and continue the rest ontoadjacent pages.If you publish or distribute Opaque copies of the Documentnumbering more than 100, you must either include amachine-readable Transparent copy along with each Opaque copy, orstate in or with each Opaque copy a computer-network location fromwhich the general network-using public has access to downloadusing public-standard network protocols a complete Transparentcopy of the Document, free of added material. If you use thelatter option, you must take reasonably prudent steps, when youbegin distribution of Opaque copies in quantity, to ensure thatthis Transparent copy will remain thus accessible at the statedlocation until at least one year after the last time youdistribute an Opaque copy (directly or through your agents orretailers) of that edition to the public.It is requested, but not required, that you contact the authors ofthe Document well before redistributing any large number ofcopies, to give them a chance to provide you with an updatedversion of the Document.4. MODIFICATIONSYou may copy and distribute a Modified Version of the Documentunder the conditions of sections 2 and 3 above, provided that yourelease the Modified Version under precisely this License, withthe Modified Version filling the role of the Document, thuslicensing distribution and modification of the Modified Version towhoever possesses a copy of it. In addition, you must do thesethings in the Modified Version:A. Use in the Title Page (and on the covers, if any) a titledistinct from that of the Document, and from those ofprevious versions (which should, if there were any, be listedin the History section of the Document). You may use thesame title as a previous version if the original publisher ofthat version gives permission.B. List on the Title Page, as authors, one or more persons orentities responsible for authorship of the modifications inthe Modified Version, together with at least five of theprincipal authors of the Document (all of its principalauthors, if it has fewer than five), unless they release youfrom this requirement.C. State on the Title page the name of the publisher of theModified Version, as the publisher.D. Preserve all the copyright notices of the Document.E. Add an appropriate copyright notice for your modificationsadjacent to the other copyright notices.F. Include, immediately after the copyright notices, a licensenotice giving the public permission to use the ModifiedVersion under the terms of this License, in the form shown inthe Addendum below.G. Preserve in that license notice the full lists of InvariantSections and required Cover Texts given in the Document'slicense notice.H. Include an unaltered copy of this License.I. Preserve the section Entitled "History", Preserve its Title,and add to it an item stating at least the title, year, newauthors, and publisher of the Modified Version as given onthe Title Page. If there is no section Entitled "History" inthe Document, create one stating the title, year, authors,and publisher of the Document as given on its Title Page,then add an item describing the Modified Version as stated inthe previous sentence.J. Preserve the network location, if any, given in the Documentfor public access to a Transparent copy of the Document, andlikewise the network locations given in the Document forprevious versions it was based on. These may be placed inthe "History" section. You may omit a network location for awork that was published at least four years before theDocument itself, or if the original publisher of the versionit refers to gives permission.K. For any section Entitled "Acknowledgements" or "Dedications",Preserve the Title of the section, and preserve in thesection all the substance and tone of each of the contributoracknowledgements and/or dedications given therein.L. Preserve all the Invariant Sections of the Document,unaltered in their text and in their titles. Section numbersor the equivalent are not considered part of the sectiontitles.M. Delete any section Entitled "Endorsements". Such a sectionmay not be included in the Modified Version.N. Do not retitle any existing section to be Entitled"Endorsements" or to conflict in title with any InvariantSection.O. Preserve any Warranty Disclaimers.If the Modified Version includes new front-matter sections orappendices that qualify as Secondary Sections and contain nomaterial copied from the Document, you may at your optiondesignate some or all of these sections as invariant. To do this,add their titles to the list of Invariant Sections in the ModifiedVersion's license notice. These titles must be distinct from anyother section titles.You may add a section Entitled "Endorsements", provided it containsnothing but endorsements of your Modified Version by variousparties--for example, statements of peer review or that the texthas been approved by an organization as the authoritativedefinition of a standard.You may add a passage of up to five words as a Front-Cover Text,and a passage of up to 25 words as a Back-Cover Text, to the endof the list of Cover Texts in the Modified Version. Only onepassage of Front-Cover Text and one of Back-Cover Text may beadded by (or through arrangements made by) any one entity. If theDocument already includes a cover text for the same cover,previously added by you or by arrangement made by the same entityyou are acting on behalf of, you may not add another; but you mayreplace the old one, on explicit permission from the previouspublisher that added the old one.The author(s) and publisher(s) of the Document do not by thisLicense give permission to use their names for publicity for or toassert or imply endorsement of any Modified Version.5. COMBINING DOCUMENTSYou may combine the Document with other documents released underthis License, under the terms defined in section 4 above formodified versions, provided that you include in the combinationall of the Invariant Sections of all of the original documents,unmodified, and list them all as Invariant Sections of yourcombined work in its license notice, and that you preserve alltheir Warranty Disclaimers.The combined work need only contain one copy of this License, andmultiple identical Invariant Sections may be replaced with a singlecopy. If there are multiple Invariant Sections with the same namebut different contents, make the title of each such section uniqueby adding at the end of it, in parentheses, the name of theoriginal author or publisher of that section if known, or else aunique number. Make the same adjustment to the section titles inthe list of Invariant Sections in the license notice of thecombined work.In the combination, you must combine any sections Entitled"History" in the various original documents, forming one sectionEntitled "History"; likewise combine any sections Entitled"Acknowledgements", and any sections Entitled "Dedications". Youmust delete all sections Entitled "Endorsements."6. COLLECTIONS OF DOCUMENTSYou may make a collection consisting of the Document and otherdocuments released under this License, and replace the individualcopies of this License in the various documents with a single copythat is included in the collection, provided that you follow therules of this License for verbatim copying of each of thedocuments in all other respects.You may extract a single document from such a collection, anddistribute it individually under this License, provided you inserta copy of this License into the extracted document, and followthis License in all other respects regarding verbatim copying ofthat document.7. AGGREGATION WITH INDEPENDENT WORKSA compilation of the Document or its derivatives with otherseparate and independent documents or works, in or on a volume ofa storage or distribution medium, is called an "aggregate" if thecopyright resulting from the compilation is not used to limit thelegal rights of the compilation's users beyond what the individualworks permit. When the Document is included in an aggregate, thisLicense does not apply to the other works in the aggregate whichare not themselves derivative works of the Document.If the Cover Text requirement of section 3 is applicable to thesecopies of the Document, then if the Document is less than one halfof the entire aggregate, the Document's Cover Texts may be placedon covers that bracket the Document within the aggregate, or theelectronic equivalent of covers if the Document is in electronicform. Otherwise they must appear on printed covers that bracketthe whole aggregate.8. TRANSLATIONTranslation is considered a kind of modification, so you maydistribute translations of the Document under the terms of section4. Replacing Invariant Sections with translations requires specialpermission from their copyright holders, but you may includetranslations of some or all Invariant Sections in addition to theoriginal versions of these Invariant Sections. You may include atranslation of this License, and all the license notices in theDocument, and any Warranty Disclaimers, provided that you alsoinclude the original English version of this License and theoriginal versions of those notices and disclaimers. In case of adisagreement between the translation and the original version ofthis License or a notice or disclaimer, the original version willprevail.If a section in the Document is Entitled "Acknowledgements","Dedications", or "History", the requirement (section 4) toPreserve its Title (section 1) will typically require changing theactual title.9. TERMINATIONYou may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Documentexcept as expressly provided for under this License. Any otherattempt to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Document isvoid, and will automatically terminate your rights under thisLicense. However, parties who have received copies, or rights,from you under this License will not have their licensesterminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.10. FUTURE REVISIONS OF THIS LICENSEThe Free Software Foundation may publish new, revised versions ofthe GNU Free Documentation License from time to time. Such newversions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but maydiffer in detail to address new problems or concerns. See`http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/'.Each version of the License is given a distinguishing versionnumber.

The most effective approach known is to encouragecommercial redistributors to donate.Users of free software systems can boost the pace of development byencouraging for-a-fee distributors to donate part of their selling priceto free software developers--the Free Software Foundation, and others.The way to convince distributors to do this is to demand it andexpect it from them. So when you compare distributors, judge thempartly by how much they give to free software development. Showdistributors they must compete to be the one who gives the most.To make this approach work, you must insist on numbers that you cancompare, such as, "We will donate ten dollars to the Frobnitz projectfor each disk sold." Don't be satisfied with a vague promise, such as"A portion of the profits are donated," since it doesn't give a basisfor comparison.Even a precise fraction "of the profits from this disk" is not verymeaningful, since creative accounting and unrelated business decisionscan greatly alter what fraction of the sales price counts as profit.If the price you pay is $50, ten percent of the profit is probably lessthan a dollar; it might be a few cents, or nothing at all.Some redistributors do development work themselves. This is usefultoo; but to keep everyone honest, you need to inquire how much they do,and what kind. Some kinds of development make much more long-termdifference than others. For example, maintaining a separate version ofa program contributes very little; maintaining the standard version of aprogram for the whole community contributes much. Easy new portscontribute little, since someone else would surely do them; difficultports such as adding a new CPU to the GNU Compiler Collectioncontribute more; major new features or packages contribute the most.By establishing the idea that supporting further development is "theproper thing to do" when distributing free software for a fee, we canassure a steady flow of resources into making more free software.Copyright (C) 1994 Free Software Foundation, Inc.Verbatim copying and redistribution of this section is permittedwithout royalty; alteration is not permitted.File: gfortran.info, Node: Option Index, Next: Keyword Index, Prev: Funding, Up: TopOption Index************`gfortran''s command line options are indexed here without any initial`-' or `--'.
