1.1 About GNU Fortran
=====================

The GNU Fortran compiler supports the Fortran 77, 90 and 95 standards
completely, parts of the Fortran 2003 and Fortran 2008 standards, and
several vendor extensions.  The development goal is to provide the
following features:

   * Read a user's program, stored in a file and containing
     instructions 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 can
     carry out more quickly than it takes to translate the instructions
     in the first place.  The result after compilation of a program is
     "machine code", code designed to be efficiently translated and
     processed by a machine such as your computer.  Humans usually are
     not as good writing machine code as they are at writing Fortran
     (or C++, Ada, or Java), because it is easy to make tiny mistakes
     writing machine code.

   * Provide the user with information about the reasons why the
     compiler is unable to create a binary from the source code.
     Usually this will be the case if the source code is flawed.  The
     Fortran 90 standard requires that the compiler can point out
     mistakes to the user.  An incorrect usage of the language causes
     an "error message".

     The compiler will also attempt to diagnose cases where the user's
     program contains a correct usage of the language, but instructs
     the computer to do something questionable.  This kind of
     diagnostics message is called a "warning message".

   * Provide optional information about the translation passes from the
     source code to machine code.  This can help a user of the compiler
     to find the cause of certain bugs which may not be obvious in the
     source code, but may be more easily found at a lower level
     compiler output.  It also helps developers to find bugs in the
     compiler itself.

   * Provide information in the generated machine code that can make it
     easier to find bugs in the program (using a debugging tool, called
     a "debugger", such as the GNU Debugger `gdb').

   * Locate and gather machine code already generated to perform
     actions requested by statements in the user's program.  This
     machine 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 as
     the system's `cc' command) that also understands and accepts
     Fortran source code.  The `gcc' command is the "driver" program for
     all the languages in the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC); With `gcc',
     you can compile the source code of any language for which a front
     end is available in GCC.

   * The `gfortran' command itself, which also might be installed as the
     system's `f95' command.  `gfortran' is just another driver program,
     but specifically for the Fortran compiler only.  The difference
     with `gcc' is that `gfortran' will automatically link the correct
     libraries to your program.

   * A collection of run-time libraries.  These libraries contain the
     machine code needed to support capabilities of the Fortran
     language that are not directly provided by the machine code
     generated by the `gfortran' compilation phase, such as intrinsic
     functions and subroutines, and routines for interaction with files
     and the operating system.

   * The Fortran compiler itself, (`f951').  This is the GNU Fortran
     parser and code generator, linked to and interfaced with the GCC
     backend library.  `f951' "translates" the source code to assembler
     code.  You would typically not use this program directly; instead,
     the `gcc' or `gfortran' driver programs will call it for you.

1.2 GNU Fortran and GCC
=======================

GNU Fortran is a part of GCC, the "GNU Compiler Collection".  GCC
consists of a collection of front ends for various languages, which
translate the source code into a language-independent form called
"GENERIC".  This is then processed by a common middle end which
provides optimization, and then passed to one of a collection of back
ends which generate code for different computer architectures and
operating systems.

   Functionally, this is implemented with a driver program (`gcc')
which provides the command-line interface for the compiler.  It calls
the relevant compiler front-end program (e.g., `f951' for Fortran) for
each file in the source code, and then calls the assembler and linker
as appropriate to produce the compiled output.  In a copy of GCC which
has been compiled with Fortran language support enabled, `gcc' will
recognize 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
into the compiled program.

   Source files with `.f', `.for', `.fpp', `.ftn', `.F', `.FOR',
`.FPP', and `.FTN' extensions are treated as fixed form.  Source files
with `.f90', `.f95', `.f03', `.f08', `.F90', `.F95', `.F03' and `.F08'
extensions are treated as free form.  The capitalized versions of
either form are run through preprocessing.  Source files with the lower
case `.fpp' extension are also run through preprocessing.

   This manual specifically documents the Fortran front end, which
handles the programming language's syntax and semantics.  The aspects
of GCC which relate to the optimization passes and the back-end code
generation are documented in the GCC manual; see *Note Introduction:
(gcc)Top.  The two manuals together provide a complete reference for
the GNU Fortran compiler.


File: gfortran.info,  Node: Preprocessing and conditional compilation,  Next: GNU Fortran and G77,  Prev: GNU Fortran and GCC,  Up: Introduction

1.3 Preprocessing and conditional compilation
=============================================

Many Fortran compilers including GNU Fortran allow passing the source
code through a C preprocessor (CPP; sometimes also called the Fortran
preprocessor, FPP) to allow for conditional compilation.  In the case
of GNU Fortran, this is the GNU C Preprocessor in the traditional mode.
On systems with case-preserving file names, the preprocessor is
automatically invoked if the filename extension is `.F', `.FOR',
`.FTN', `.fpp', `.FPP', `.F90', `.F95', `.F03' or `.F08'.  To manually
invoke the preprocessor on any file, use `-cpp', to disable
preprocessing 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.  To
preprocess included files, use the equivalent preprocessor statement
`#include'.

   If GNU Fortran invokes the preprocessor, `__GFORTRAN__' is defined
and `__GNUC__', `__GNUC_MINOR__' and `__GNUC_PATCHLEVEL__' can be used
to 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) defines
Conditional Compilation, which is not widely used and not directly
supported by the GNU Fortran compiler.  You can use the program coco to
preprocess such files (`http://www.daniellnagle.com/coco.html').


File: gfortran.info,  Node: GNU Fortran and G77,  Next: Project Status,  Prev: Preprocessing and conditional compilation,  Up: Introduction

1.4 GNU Fortran and G77
=======================

The GNU Fortran compiler is the successor to `g77', the Fortran 77
front end included in GCC prior to version 4.  It is an entirely new
program that has been designed to provide Fortran 95 support and
extensibility for future Fortran language standards, as well as
providing backwards compatibility for Fortran 77 and nearly all of the
GNU language extensions supported by `g77'.


File: gfortran.info,  Node: Project Status,  Next: Standards,  Prev: GNU Fortran and G77,  Up: Introduction

1.5 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 a
     beautiful butterfly, or just a big bug....

     -Andy Vaught, April 2000

   The start of the GNU Fortran 95 project was announced on the GCC
homepage in March 18, 2000 (even though Andy had already been working
on it for a while, of course).

   The GNU Fortran compiler is able to compile nearly all
standard-compliant Fortran 95, Fortran 90, and Fortran 77 programs,
including a number of standard and non-standard extensions, and can be
used on real-world programs.  In particular, the supported extensions
include OpenMP, Cray-style pointers, and several Fortran 2003 and
Fortran 2008 features, including TR 15581.  However, it is still under
development and has a few remaining rough edges.

   At present, the GNU Fortran compiler passes the NIST Fortran 77 Test
Suite (http://www.fortran-2000.com/ArnaudRecipes/fcvs21_f95.html), and
produces acceptable results on the LAPACK Test Suite
(http://www.netlib.org/lapack/faq.html#1.21).  It also provides
respectable performance on the Polyhedron Fortran compiler benchmarks
(http://www.polyhedron.com/pb05.html) and the Livermore Fortran Kernels
test
(http://www.llnl.gov/asci_benchmarks/asci/limited/lfk/README.html).  It
has 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 quantum
chemistry 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 a
replacement for G77.  At this point, nearly all programs that could be
compiled with G77 can be compiled with GNU Fortran, although there are
a few minor known regressions.

   The primary work remaining to be done on GNU Fortran falls into three
categories: bug fixing (primarily regarding the treatment of invalid
code and providing useful error messages), improving the compiler
optimizations and the performance of compiled code, and extending the
compiler to support future standards--in particular, Fortran 2003 and
Fortran 2008.

1.6 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 Fortran
90 and Fortran 77 programs.   It also supports the ISO/IEC TR-15581
enhancements to allocatable arrays.

   GNU Fortran also have a partial support for ISO/IEC 1539-1:2004
(Fortran 2003), ISO/IEC 1539-1:2010 (Fortran 2008), the Technical
Specification `Further Interoperability of Fortran with C' (ISO/IEC TS
29113:2012).  Full support of those standards and future Fortran
standards is planned.  The current status of the support is can be
found in the *Note Fortran 2003 status::, *Note Fortran 2008 status::
and *Note TS 29113 status:: sections of the documentation.

   Additionally, the GNU Fortran compilers supports the OpenMP
specification (version 4.0,
`http://openmp.org/wp/openmp-specifications/').


File: gfortran.info,  Node: Varying Length Character Strings,  Up: Standards

1.6.1 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 not
support such strings directly, there exist two Fortran implementations
for 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/'.

   Deferred-length character strings of Fortran 2003 supports part of
the features of `ISO_VARYING_STRING' and should be considered as
replacement. (Namely, allocatable or pointers of the type
`character(len=:)'.)

2 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 the
non-Fortran-specific aspects of the `gcc' command (and, therefore, the
`gfortran' command).

   All GCC and GNU Fortran options are accepted both by `gfortran' and
by `gcc' (as well as any other drivers built at the same time, such as
`g++'), since adding GNU Fortran to the GCC distribution enables
acceptance of GNU Fortran options by all of the relevant drivers.

   In some cases, options have positive and negative forms; the
negative form of `-ffoo' would be `-fno-foo'.  This manual documents
only one of these two forms, whichever one is not the default.

2.2 Options controlling Fortran dialect
=======================================

The following options control the details of the Fortran dialect
accepted by the compiler:

`-ffree-form'
`-ffixed-form'
     Specify the layout used by the source file.  The free form layout
     was introduced in Fortran 90.  Fixed form was traditionally used in
     older Fortran programs.  When neither option is specified, the
     source form is determined by the file extension.

`-fall-intrinsics'
     This option causes all intrinsic procedures (including the
     GNU-specific extensions) to be accepted.  This can be useful with
     `-std=f95' to force standard-compliance but get access to the full
     range of intrinsics available with `gfortran'.  As a consequence,
     `-Wintrinsics-std' will be ignored and no user-defined procedure
     with the same name as any intrinsic will be called except when it
     is explicitly declared `EXTERNAL'.

`-fd-lines-as-code'
`-fd-lines-as-comments'
     Enable special treatment for lines beginning with `d' or `D' in
     fixed form sources.  If the `-fd-lines-as-code' option is given
     they are treated as if the first column contained a blank.  If the
     `-fd-lines-as-comments' option is given, they are treated as
     comment lines.

`-fdollar-ok'
     Allow `$' as a valid non-first character in a symbol name. Symbols
     that start with `$' are rejected since it is unclear which rules to
     apply to implicit typing as different vendors implement different
     rules.  Using `$' in `IMPLICIT' statements is also rejected.

`-fbackslash'
     Change the interpretation of backslashes in string literals from a
     single backslash character to "C-style" escape characters. The
     following 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 hexadecimal
     digit) are translated into the Unicode characters corresponding to
     the specified code points. All other combinations of a character
     preceded by \ are unexpanded.

`-fmodule-private'
     Set the default accessibility of module entities to `PRIVATE'.
     Use-associated entities will not be accessible unless they are
     explicitly declared as `PUBLIC'.

`-ffixed-line-length-N'
     Set column after which characters are ignored in typical fixed-form
     lines in the source file, and through which spaces are assumed (as
     if 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" options
     in some popular compilers).  N may also be `none', meaning that
     the entire line is meaningful and that continued character
     constants never have implicit spaces appended to them to fill out
     the 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-form
     lines 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 are
     31 (Fortran 95) and 63 (Fortran 2003 and Fortran 2008).

`-fimplicit-none'
     Specify that no implicit typing is allowed, unless overridden by
     explicit `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 pointer
     functionality.

`-fopenmp'
     Enable the OpenMP extensions.  This includes OpenMP `!$omp'
     directives in free form and `c$omp', `*$omp' and `!$omp'
     directives in fixed form, `!$' conditional compilation sentinels
     in free form and `c$', `*$' and `!$' sentinels in fixed form, and
     when linking arranges for the OpenMP runtime library to be linked
     in.  The option `-fopenmp' implies `-frecursive'.

`-fno-range-check'
     Disable range checking on results of simplification of constant
     expressions during compilation.  For example, GNU Fortran will give
     an error at compile time when simplifying `a = 1. / 0'.  With this
     option, no error will be given and `a' will be assigned the value
     `+Infinity'.  If an expression evaluates to a value outside of the
     relevant range of [`-HUGE()':`HUGE()'], then the expression will
     be replaced by `-Inf' or `+Inf' as appropriate.  Similarly, `DATA
     i/Z'FFFFFFFF'/' will result in an integer overflow on most
     systems, but with `-fno-range-check' the value will "wrap around"
     and `i' will be initialized to -1 instead.

`-fdefault-integer-8'
     Set the default integer and logical types to an 8 byte wide type.
     This option also affects the kind of integer constants like `42'.
     Unlike `-finteger-4-integer-8', it does not promote variables with
     explicit kind declaration.

`-fdefault-real-8'
     Set the default real type to an 8 byte wide type. This option also
     affects the kind of non-double real constants like `1.0', and does
     promote the default width of `DOUBLE PRECISION' to 16 bytes if
     possible, unless `-fdefault-double-8' is given, too. Unlike
     `-freal-4-real-8', it does not promote variables with explicit
     kind declaration.

`-fdefault-double-8'
     Set the `DOUBLE PRECISION' type to an 8 byte wide type.  Do
     nothing if this is already the default.  If `-fdefault-real-8' is
     given, `DOUBLE PRECISION' would instead be promoted to 16 bytes if
     possible, and `-fdefault-double-8' can be used to prevent this.
     The kind of real constants like `1.d0' will not be changed by
     `-fdefault-real-8' though, so also `-fdefault-double-8' does not
     affect it.

`-finteger-4-integer-8'
     Promote all `INTEGER(KIND=4)' entities to an `INTEGER(KIND=8)'
     entities.  If `KIND=8' is unavailable, then an error will be
     issued.  This option should be used with care and may not be
     suitable for your codes.  Areas of possible concern include calls
     to external procedures, alignment in `EQUIVALENCE' and/or
     `COMMON', generic interfaces, BOZ literal constant conversion, and
     I/O.  Inspection of the intermediate representation of the
     translated Fortran code, produced by `-fdump-tree-original', is
     suggested.

`-freal-4-real-8'
`-freal-4-real-10'
`-freal-4-real-16'
`-freal-8-real-4'
`-freal-8-real-10'
`-freal-8-real-16'
     Promote all `REAL(KIND=M)' entities to `REAL(KIND=N)' entities.
     If `REAL(KIND=N)' is unavailable, then an error will be issued.
     All other real kind types are unaffected by this option.  These
     options should be used with care and may not be suitable for your
     codes.  Areas of possible concern include calls to external
     procedures, alignment in `EQUIVALENCE' and/or `COMMON', generic
     interfaces, BOZ literal constant conversion, and I/O.  Inspection
     of the intermediate representation of the translated Fortran code,
     produced by `-fdump-tree-original', is suggested.

`-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 of
     the Fortran 95 standard that includes all of the extensions
     supported by GNU Fortran, although warnings will be given for
     obsolete extensions not recommended for use in new code.  The
     `legacy' value is equivalent but without the warnings for obsolete
     extensions, and may be useful for old non-standard programs.  The
     `f95', `f2003' and `f2008' values specify strict conformance to
     the Fortran 95, Fortran 2003 and Fortran 2008 standards,
     respectively; errors are given for all extensions beyond the
     relevant language standard, and warnings are given for the Fortran
     77 features that are permitted but obsolescent in later standards.
     `-std=f2008ts' allows the Fortran 2008 standard including the
     additions of the Technical Specification (TS) 29113 on Further
     Interoperability of Fortran with C.

2.3 Enable and customize preprocessing
======================================

Preprocessor related options. See section *Note Preprocessing and
conditional compilation:: for more detailed information on
preprocessing in `gfortran'.

`-cpp'
`-nocpp'
     Enable preprocessing. The preprocessor is automatically invoked if
     the file extension is `.fpp', `.FPP',  `.F', `.FOR', `.FTN',
     `.F90', `.F95', `.F03' or `.F08'. Use this option to manually
     enable preprocessing of any kind of Fortran file.

     To disable preprocessing of files with any of the above listed
     extensions, use the negative form: `-nocpp'.

     The preprocessor is run in traditional mode. Any restrictions of
     the file-format, especially the limits on line length, apply for
     preprocessed output as well, so it might be advisable to use the
     `-ffree-line-length-none' or `-ffixed-line-length-none' options.

`-dM'
     Instead of the normal output, generate a list of `'#define''
     directives for all the macros defined during the execution of the
     preprocessor, including predefined macros. This gives you a way of
     finding out what is predefined in your version of the preprocessor.
     Assuming you have no file `foo.f90', the command
            touch foo.f90; gfortran -cpp -E -dM foo.f90
     will show all the predefined macros.

`-dD'
     Like `-dM' except in two respects: it does not include the
     predefined macros, and it outputs both the `#define' directives
     and the result of preprocessing. Both kinds of output go to the
     standard 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 whose
     definedness is tested in preprocessor directives, are output; the
     output is delayed until the use or test of the macro; and
     `'#undef'' directives are also output for macros tested but
     undefined at the time.

`-dI'
     Output `'#include'' directives in addition to the result of
     preprocessing.

`-fworking-directory'
     Enable generation of linemarkers in the preprocessor output that
     will let the compiler know the current working directory at the
     time of preprocessing. When this option is enabled, the
     preprocessor will emit, after the initial linemarker, a second
     linemarker with the current working directory followed by two
     slashes. GCC will use this directory, when it is present in the
     preprocessed input, as the directory emitted as the current
     working directory in some debugging information formats.  This
     option 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 the
     command 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 directories
     specified with `-I' and the standard system directories have been
     exhausted. DIR is treated as a system include directory.  If dir
     begins with `=', then the `=' will be replaced by the sysroot
     prefix; see `--sysroot' and `-isysroot'.

`-imultilib DIR'
     Use DIR as a subdirectory of the directory containing
     target-specific C++ headers.

`-iprefix PREFIX'
     Specify PREFIX as the prefix for subsequent `-iwithprefix'
     options. If the PREFIX represents a directory, you should include
     the final `'/''.

`-isysroot DIR'
     This option is like the `--sysroot' option, but applies only to
     header 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 directories
     specified by `-I' and before the standard system directories. If
     DIR begins with `=', then the `=' will be replaced by the sysroot
     prefix; 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 a
     system directory, so that it gets the same special treatment as is
     applied to the standard system directories. If DIR begins with
     `=', then the `=' will be replaced by the sysroot prefix; see
     `--sysroot' and `-isysroot'.

`-nostdinc'
     Do not search the standard system directories for header files.
     Only the directories you have specified with `-I' options (and the
     directory of the current file, if appropriate) are searched.

`-undef'
     Do not predefine any system-specific or GCC-specific macros.  The
     standard predefined macros remain defined.

`-APREDICATE=ANSWER'
     Make an assertion with the predicate PREDICATE and answer ANSWER.
     This form is preferred to the older form -A predicate(answer),
     which is still supported, because it does not use shell special
     characters.

`-A-PREDICATE=ANSWER'
     Cancel an assertion with the predicate PREDICATE and answer ANSWER.

`-C'
     Do not discard comments. All comments are passed through to the
     output file, except for comments in processed directives, which
     are deleted along with the directive.

     You should be prepared for side effects when using `-C'; it causes
     the preprocessor to treat comments as tokens in their own right.
     For example, comments appearing at the start of what would be a
     directive line have the effect of turning that line into an
     ordinary source line, since the first token on the line is no
     longer a `'#''.

     Warning: this currently handles C-Style comments only. The
     preprocessor does not yet recognize Fortran-style comments.

`-CC'
     Do not discard comments, including during macro expansion. This is
     like `-C', except that comments contained within macros are also
     passed 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 be
     converted to C-style comments. This is to prevent later use of
     that macro from inadvertently commenting out the remainder of the
     source line. The `-CC' option is generally used to support lint
     comments.

     Warning: this currently handles C- and C++-Style comments only. The
     preprocessor 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 they
     appeared during translation phase three in a `'#define'' directive.
     In particular, the definition will be truncated by embedded newline
     characters.

     If you are invoking the preprocessor from a shell or shell-like
     program you may need to use the shell's quoting syntax to protect
     characters 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 the
     equals sign (if any). Parentheses are meaningful to most shells,
     so you will need to quote the option. With sh and csh,
     `-D'name(args...)=definition'' works.

     `-D' and `-U' options are processed in the order they are given on
     the command line. All -imacros file and -include file options are
     processed after all -D and -U options.

`-H'
     Print the name of each header file used, in addition to other
     normal activities. Each name is indented to show how deep in the
     `'#include'' stack it is.

`-P'
     Inhibit generation of linemarkers in the output from the
     preprocessor.  This might be useful when running the preprocessor
     on something that is not C code, and will be sent to a program
     which might be confused by the linemarkers.

`-UNAME'
     Cancel any previous definition of NAME, either built in or provided
     with a `-D' option.


File: gfortran.info,  Node: Error and Warning Options,  Next: Debugging Options,  Prev: Preprocessing Options,  Up: Invoking GNU Fortran

2.4 Options to request or suppress errors and warnings
======================================================

Errors are diagnostic messages that report that the GNU Fortran compiler
cannot compile the relevant piece of source code.  The compiler will
continue to process the program in an attempt to report further errors
to aid in debugging, but will not produce any compiled output.

   Warnings are diagnostic messages that report constructions which are
not inherently erroneous but which are risky or suggest there is likely
to be a bug in the program.  Unless `-Werror' is specified, they do not
prevent 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 form
beginning `-Wno-' to turn off warnings; for example, `-Wno-implicit'.
This manual lists only one of the two forms, whichever is not the
default.

   These options control the amount and kinds of errors and warnings
produced by GNU Fortran:

`-fmax-errors=N'
     Limits the maximum number of error messages to N, at which point
     GNU Fortran bails out rather than attempting to continue
     processing the source code.  If N is 0, there is no limit on the
     number of error messages produced.

`-fsyntax-only'
     Check the code for syntax errors, but do not actually compile it.
     This will generate module files for each module present in the
     code, 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 GNU
     Fortran source files, such as use of `\e' in a character constant
     within a directive like `#include'.

     Valid Fortran 95 programs should compile properly with or without
     this option.  However, without this option, certain GNU extensions
     and traditional Fortran features are supported as well.  With this
     option, many of them are rejected.

     Some users try to use `-pedantic' to check programs for
     conformance.  They soon find that it does not do quite what they
     want--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 than
     warnings.

`-Wall'
     Enables commonly used warning options pertaining to usage that we
     recommend avoiding and that we believe are easy to avoid.  This
     currently includes `-Waliasing', `-Wampersand', `-Wconversion',
     `-Wsurprising', `-Wc-binding-type', `-Wintrinsics-std',
     `-Wno-tabs', `-Wintrinsic-shadow', `-Wline-truncation',
     `-Wtarget-lifetime', `-Wreal-q-constant' and `-Wunused'.

`-Waliasing'
     Warn about possible aliasing of dummy arguments. Specifically, it
     warns if the same actual argument is associated with a dummy
     argument with `INTENT(IN)' and a dummy argument with `INTENT(OUT)'
     in a call with an explicit interface.

     The following example will trigger the warning.
            interface
              subroutine bar(a,b)
                integer, intent(in) :: a
                integer, intent(out) :: b
              end subroutine
            end interface
            integer :: a

            call bar(a,a)

`-Wampersand'
     Warn about missing ampersand in continued character constants. The
     warning is given with `-Wampersand', `-pedantic', `-std=f95',
     `-std=f2003' and `-std=f2008'. Note: With no ampersand given in a
     continued character constant, GNU Fortran assumes continuation at
     the first non-comment, non-whitespace character after the ampersand
     that initiated the continuation.

`-Warray-temporaries'
     Warn about array temporaries generated by the compiler.  The
     information generated by this warning is sometimes useful in
     optimization, in order to avoid such temporaries.

`-Wc-binding-type'
     Warn if the a variable might not be C interoperable.  In
     particular, warn if the variable has been declared using an
     intrinsic type with default kind instead of using a kind parameter
     defined for C interoperability in the intrinsic `ISO_C_Binding'
     module.  This option is implied by `-Wall'.

`-Wcharacter-truncation'
     Warn when a character assignment will truncate the assigned string.

`-Wline-truncation'
     Warn when a source code line will be truncated.  This option is
     implied by `-Wall'.

`-Wconversion'
     Warn about implicit conversions that are likely to change the
     value of the expression after conversion. Implied by `-Wall'.

`-Wconversion-extra'
     Warn about implicit conversions between different types and kinds.

`-Wextra'
     Enables some warning options for usages of language features which
     may be problematic. This currently includes `-Wcompare-reals' and
     `-Wunused-parameter'.

`-Wimplicit-interface'
     Warn if a procedure is called without an explicit interface.  Note
     this only checks that an explicit interface is present.  It does
     not check that the declared interfaces are consistent across
     program units.

`-Wimplicit-procedure'
     Warn if a procedure is called that has neither an explicit
     interface nor has been declared as `EXTERNAL'.

`-Wintrinsics-std'
     Warn if `gfortran' finds a procedure named like an intrinsic not
     available in the currently selected standard (with `-std') and
     treats it as `EXTERNAL' procedure because of this.
     `-fall-intrinsics' can be used to never trigger this behavior and
     always link to the intrinsic regardless of the selected standard.

`-Wreal-q-constant'
     Produce a warning if a real-literal-constant contains a `q'
     exponent-letter.

`-Wsurprising'
     Produce a warning when "suspicious" code constructs are
     encountered.  While technically legal these usually indicate that
     an error has been made.

     This currently produces a warning under the following
     circumstances:

        * An INTEGER SELECT construct has a CASE that can never be
          matched 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 the
          destination.

        * The type of a function result is declared more than once with
          the same type.  If `-pedantic' or standard-conforming mode is
          enabled, this is an error.

        * A `CHARACTER' variable is declared with negative length.

`-Wtabs'
     By default, tabs are accepted as whitespace, but tabs are not
     members of the Fortran Character Set.  For continuation lines, a
     tab 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 are
     encountered, which yield an UNDERFLOW during compilation.

`-Wintrinsic-shadow'
     Warn if a user-defined procedure or module procedure has the same
     name as an intrinsic; in this case, an explicit interface or
     `EXTERNAL' or `INTRINSIC' declaration might be needed to get calls
     later resolved to the desired intrinsic/procedure.  This option is
     implied by `-Wall'.

`-Wunused-dummy-argument'
     Warn about unused dummy arguments. This option is implied by
     `-Wall'.

`-Wunused-parameter'
     Contrary to `gcc''s meaning of `-Wunused-parameter', `gfortran''s
     implementation of this option does not warn about unused dummy
     arguments (see `-Wunused-dummy-argument'), 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 being
     padded for proper alignment inside a `COMMON' block. This warning
     can be turned off via `-Wno-align-commons'. See also
     `-falign-commons'.

`-Wfunction-elimination'
     Warn if any calls to functions are eliminated by the optimizations
     enabled by the `-ffrontend-optimize' option.

`-Wrealloc-lhs'
     Warn when the compiler might insert code to for allocation or
     reallocation of an allocatable array variable of intrinsic type in
     intrinsic assignments.  In hot loops, the Fortran 2003
     reallocation feature may reduce the performance.  If the array is
     already allocated with the correct shape, consider using a
     whole-array array-spec (e.g. `(:,:,:)') for the variable on the
     left-hand side to prevent the reallocation check. Note that in
     some cases the warning is shown, even if the compiler will
     optimize reallocation checks away.  For instance, when the
     right-hand side contains the same variable multiplied by a scalar.
     See also `-frealloc-lhs'.

`-Wrealloc-lhs-all'
     Warn when the compiler inserts code to for allocation or
     reallocation of an allocatable variable; this includes scalars and
     derived types.

`-Wcompare-reals'
     Warn when comparing real or complex types for equality or
     inequality.  This option is implied by `-Wextra'.

`-Wtarget-lifetime'
     Warn if the pointer in a pointer assignment might be longer than
     the its target. This option is implied by `-Wall'.

`-Wzerotrip'
     Warn if a `DO' loop is known to execute zero times at compile
     time.  This option is implied by `-Wall'.

`-Werror'
     Turns all warnings into errors.

   *Note Options to Request or Suppress Errors and Warnings:
(gcc)Warning Options, for information on more options offered by the
GBE shared by `gfortran', `gcc' and other GNU compilers.

   Some of these have no effect when compiling programs written in
Fortran.

2.5 Options for debugging your program or GNU Fortran
=====================================================

GNU Fortran has various special options that are used for debugging
either your program or the GNU Fortran compiler.

`-fdump-fortran-original'
     Output the internal parse tree after translating the source program
     into internal representation.  Only really useful for debugging the
     GNU Fortran compiler itself.

`-fdump-fortran-optimized'
     Output the parse tree after front-end optimization.  Only really
     useful for debugging the GNU Fortran compiler itself.

`-fdump-parse-tree'
     Output the internal parse tree after translating the source program
     into internal representation.  Only really useful for debugging the
     GNU Fortran compiler itself.  This option is deprecated; use
     `-fdump-fortran-original' instead.

`-ffpe-trap=LIST'
     Specify a list of floating point exception traps to enable.  On
     most systems, if a floating point exception occurs and the trap
     for that exception is enabled, a SIGFPE signal will be sent and
     the program being aborted, producing a core file useful for
     debugging.  LIST is a (possibly empty) comma-separated list of the
     following exceptions: `invalid' (invalid floating point operation,
     such as `SQRT(-1.0)'), `zero' (division by zero), `overflow'
     (overflow in a floating point operation), `underflow' (underflow
     in a floating point operation), `inexact' (loss of precision
     during operation), and `denormal' (operation performed on a
     denormal value).  The first five exceptions correspond to the five
     IEEE 754 exceptions, whereas the last one (`denormal') is not part
     of the IEEE 754 standard but is available on some common
     architectures such as x86.

     The first three exceptions (`invalid', `zero', and `overflow')
     often indicate serious errors, and unless the program has
     provisions for dealing with these exceptions, enabling traps for
     these three exceptions is probably a good idea.

     Many, if not most, floating point operations incur loss of
     precision due to rounding, and hence the `ffpe-trap=inexact' is
     likely to be uninteresting in practice.

     By default no exception traps are enabled.

`-ffpe-summary=LIST'
     Specify a list of floating-point exceptions, whose flag status is
     printed to `ERROR_UNIT' when invoking `STOP' and `ERROR STOP'.
     LIST can be either `none', `all' or a comma-separated list of the
     following exceptions: `invalid', `zero', `overflow', `underflow',
     `inexact' and `denormal'. (See `-ffpe-trap' for a description of
     the exceptions.)

     By default, a summary for all exceptions but `inexact' is shown.

`-fno-backtrace'
     When a serious runtime error is encountered or a deadly signal is
     emitted (segmentation fault, illegal instruction, bus error,
     floating-point exception, and the other POSIX signals that have the
     action `core'), the Fortran runtime library tries to output a
     backtrace of the error. `-fno-backtrace' disables the backtrace
     generation. This option only has influence for compilation of the
     Fortran main program.

2.6 Options for directory search
================================

These options affect how GNU Fortran searches for files specified by
the `INCLUDE' directive and where it searches for previously compiled
modules.

   It also affects the search paths used by `cpp' when used to
preprocess Fortran source.

`-IDIR'
     These affect interpretation of the `INCLUDE' directive (as well as
     of the `#include' directive of the `cpp' preprocessor).

     Also note that the general behavior of `-I' and `INCLUDE' is
     pretty much the same as of `-I' with `#include' in the `cpp'
     preprocessor, with regard to looking for `header.gcc' files and
     other such things.

     This path is also used to search for `.mod' files when previously
     compiled modules are required by a `USE' statement.

     *Note Options for Directory Search: (gcc)Directory Options, for
     information on the `-I' option.

`-JDIR'
     This option specifies where to put `.mod' files for compiled
     modules.  It is also added to the list of directories to searched
     by an `USE' statement.

     The default is the current directory.

`-fintrinsic-modules-path DIR'
     This option specifies the location of pre-compiled intrinsic
     modules, if they are not in the default location expected by the
     compiler.

2.7 Influencing the linking step
================================

These options come into play when the compiler links object files into
an executable output file. They are meaningless if the compiler is not
doing a link step.

`-static-libgfortran'
     On systems that provide `libgfortran' as a shared and a static
     library, this option forces the use of the static version. If no
     shared version of `libgfortran' was built when the compiler was
     configured, this option has no effect.


File: gfortran.info,  Node: Runtime Options,  Next: Code Gen Options,  Prev: Link Options,  Up: Invoking GNU Fortran

2.8 Influencing runtime behavior
================================

These options affect the runtime behavior of programs compiled with GNU
Fortran.

`-fconvert=CONVERSION'
     Specify the representation of data for unformatted files.  Valid
     values for conversion are: `native', the default; `swap', swap
     between big- and little-endian; `big-endian', use big-endian
     representation for unformatted files; `little-endian', use
     little-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 environment
     variable override the default specified by `-fconvert'._

`-frecord-marker=LENGTH'
     Specify the length of record markers for unformatted files.  Valid
     values for LENGTH are 4 and 8.  Default is 4.  _This is different
     from previous versions of `gfortran'_, which specified a default
     record marker length of 8 on most systems.  If you want to read or
     write files compatible with earlier versions of `gfortran', use
     `-frecord-marker=8'.

`-fmax-subrecord-length=LENGTH'
     Specify the maximum length for a subrecord.  The maximum permitted
     value for length is 2147483639, which is also the default.  Only
     really useful for use by the gfortran testsuite.

`-fsign-zero'
     When enabled, floating point numbers of value zero with the sign
     bit set are written as negative number in formatted output and
     treated as negative in the `SIGN' intrinsic.  `-fno-sign-zero'
     does not print the negative sign of zero values (or values rounded
     to zero for I/O) and regards zero as positive number in the `SIGN'
     intrinsic for compatibility with Fortran 77. The default is
     `-fsign-zero'.


File: gfortran.info,  Node: Code Gen Options,  Next: Environment Variables,  Prev: Runtime Options,  Up: Invoking GNU Fortran

2.9 Options for code generation conventions
===========================================

These machine-independent options control the interface conventions
used in code generation.

   Most of them have both positive and negative forms; the negative form
of `-ffoo' would be `-fno-foo'.  In the table below, only one of the
forms is listed--the one which is not the default.  You can figure out
the other form by either removing `no-' or adding it.

`-fno-automatic'
     Treat each program unit (except those marked as RECURSIVE) as if
     the `SAVE' statement were specified for every local variable and
     array referenced in it. Does not affect common blocks. (Some
     Fortran compilers provide this option under the name `-static' or
     `-save'.)  The default, which is `-fautomatic', uses the stack for
     local variables smaller than the value given by
     `-fmax-stack-var-size'.  Use the option `-frecursive' to use no
     static 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' to
     actually return the C type `double', and functions that return
     type `COMPLEX' to return the values via an extra argument in the
     calling sequence that points to where to store the return value.
     Under the default GNU calling conventions, such functions simply
     return their results as they would in GNU C--default `REAL'
     functions return the C type `float', and `COMPLEX' functions
     return the GNU C type `complex'.  Additionally, this option
     implies the `-fsecond-underscore' option, unless
     `-fno-second-underscore' is explicitly requested.

     This does not affect the generation of code that interfaces with
     the `libgfortran' library.

     _Caution:_ It is not a good idea to mix Fortran code compiled with
     `-ff2c' with code compiled with the default `-fno-f2c' calling
     conventions as, calling `COMPLEX' or default `REAL' functions
     between program parts which were compiled with different calling
     conventions will break at execution time.

     _Caution:_ This will break code which passes intrinsic functions
     of type default `REAL' or `COMPLEX' as actual arguments, as the
     library implementations use the `-fno-f2c' calling conventions.

`-fno-underscoring'
     Do not transform names of entities specified in the Fortran source
     file by appending underscores to them.

     With `-funderscoring' in effect, GNU Fortran appends one
     underscore to external names with no underscores.  This is done to
     ensure compatibility with code produced by many UNIX Fortran
     compilers.

     _Caution_: The default behavior of GNU Fortran is incompatible
     with `f2c' and `g77', please use the `-ff2c' option if you want
     object files compiled with GNU Fortran to be compatible with
     object code created with these tools.

     Use of `-fno-underscoring' is not recommended unless you are
     experimenting with issues such as integration of GNU Fortran into
     existing system environments (vis-a`-vis existing libraries, tools,
     and so on).

     For example, with `-funderscoring', and assuming other defaults
     like `-fcase-lower' and that `j()' and `max_count()' are external
     functions while `my_var' and `lvar' are local variables, a
     statement like
          I = 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 of
     user-defined names while debugging and when interfacing GNU Fortran
     code with other languages.

     Note that just because the names match does _not_ mean that the
     interface implemented by GNU Fortran for an external name matches
     the interface implemented by some other language for that same
     name.  That is, getting code produced by GNU Fortran to link to
     code produced by some other compiler using this or any other
     method can be only a small part of the overall solution--getting
     the code generated by both compilers to agree on issues other than
     naming can require significant effort, and, unlike naming
     disagreements, linkers normally cannot detect disagreements in
     these other areas.

     Also, note that with `-fno-underscoring', the lack of appended
     underscores introduces the very real possibility that a
     user-defined external name will conflict with a name in a system
     library, which could make finding unresolved-reference bugs quite
     difficult in some cases--they might occur at program run time, and
     show up only as buggy behavior at run time.

     In future versions of GNU Fortran we hope to improve naming and
     linking issues so that debugging always involves using the names
     as they appear in the source, even if the names as seen by the
     linker are mangled to prevent accidental linking between
     procedures with incompatible interfaces.

`-fsecond-underscore'
     By default, GNU Fortran appends an underscore to external names.
     If this option is used GNU Fortran appends two underscores to
     names with underscores and one underscore to external names with
     no underscores.  GNU Fortran also appends two underscores to
     internal names with underscores to avoid naming collisions with
     external names.

     This option has no effect if `-fno-underscoring' is in effect.  It
     is 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 for
     compatibility with `g77' and `f2c', and is implied by use of the
     `-ff2c' option.

`-fcoarray=<KEYWORD>'

    `none'
          Disable coarray support; using coarray declarations and
          image-control statements will produce a compile-time error.
          (Default)

    `single'
          Single-image mode, i.e. `num_images()' is always one.

    `lib'
          Library-based coarray parallelization; a suitable GNU Fortran
          coarray library needs to be linked.

`-fcheck=<KEYWORD>'
     Enable the generation of run-time checks; the argument shall be a
     comma-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 a
          temporary array had to be generated. The information
          generated by this warning is sometimes useful in
          optimization, in order to avoid such temporaries.

          Note: The warning is only printed once per location.

    `bounds'
          Enable generation of run-time checks for array subscripts and
          against the declared minimum and maximum values.  It also
          checks array indices for assumed and deferred shape arrays
          against the actual allocated bounds and ensures that all
          string lengths are equal for character array constructors
          without an explicit typespec.

          Some checks require that `-fcheck=bounds' is set for the
          compilation of the main program.

          Note: In the future this may also include other forms of
          checking, e.g., checking substring references.

    `do'
          Enable generation of run-time checks for invalid modification
          of loop iteration variables.

    `mem'
          Enable generation of run-time checks for memory allocation.
          Note: This option does not affect explicit allocations using
          the `ALLOCATE' statement, which will be always checked.

    `pointer'
          Enable generation of run-time checks for pointers and
          allocatables.

    `recursion'
          Enable generation of run-time checks for recursively called
          subroutines and functions which are not marked as recursive.
          See also `-frecursive'.  Note: This check does not work for
          OpenMP programs and is disabled if used together with
          `-frecursive' and `-fopenmp'.

`-fbounds-check'
     Deprecated alias for `-fcheck=bounds'.

`-fcheck-array-temporaries'
     Deprecated alias for `-fcheck=array-temps'.

`-fmax-array-constructor=N'
     This option can be used to increase the upper limit permitted in
     array constructors.  The code below requires this option to expand
     the array at compile time.

          program test
          implicit none
          integer j
          integer, parameter :: n = 100000
          integer, parameter :: i(n) = (/ (2*j, j = 1, n) /)
          print '(10(I0,1X))', i
          end program test

     _Caution:  This option can lead to long compile times and
     excessively large object files._

     The default value for N is 65535.

`-fmax-stack-var-size=N'
     This option specifies the size in bytes of the largest array that
     will be put on the stack; if the size is exceeded static memory is
     used (except in procedures marked as RECURSIVE). Use the option
     `-frecursive' to allow for recursive procedures which do not have
     a RECURSIVE attribute or for parallel programs. Use
     `-fno-automatic' to never use the stack.

     This option currently only affects local arrays declared with
     constant 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.

`-fstack-arrays'
     Adding this option will make the Fortran compiler put all local
     arrays, even those of unknown size onto stack memory.  If your
     program uses very large local arrays it is possible that you will
     have to extend your runtime limits for stack memory on some
     operating systems. This flag is enabled by default at optimization
     level `-Ofast'.

`-fpack-derived'
     This option tells GNU Fortran to pack derived type members as
     closely as possible.  Code compiled with this option is likely to
     be incompatible with code compiled without this option, and may
     execute slower.

`-frepack-arrays'
     In some circumstances GNU Fortran may pass assumed shape array
     sections via a descriptor describing a noncontiguous area of
     memory.  This option adds code to the function prologue to repack
     the data into a contiguous block at runtime.

     This should result in faster accesses to the array.  However it
     can 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 was
     compiled with the `-fshort-enums' option.  It will make GNU
     Fortran choose the smallest `INTEGER' kind a given enumerator set
     will fit in, and give all its enumerators this kind.

`-fexternal-blas'
     This option will make `gfortran' generate calls to BLAS functions
     for some matrix operations like `MATMUL', instead of using our own
     algorithms, if the size of the matrices involved is larger than a
     given limit (see `-fblas-matmul-limit').  This may be profitable
     if an optimized vendor BLAS library is available.  The BLAS
     library will have to be specified at link time.

`-fblas-matmul-limit=N'
     Only significant when `-fexternal-blas' is in effect.  Matrix
     multiplication of matrices with size larger than (or equal to) N
     will be performed by calls to BLAS functions, while others will be
     handled by `gfortran' internal algorithms. If the matrices
     involved are not square, the size comparison is performed using the
     geometric mean of the dimensions of the argument and result
     matrices.

     The default value for N is 30.

`-frecursive'
     Allow indirect recursion by forcing all local arrays to be
     allocated 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 to
     initialize local `INTEGER', `REAL', and `COMPLEX' variables to
     zero, `LOGICAL' variables to false, and `CHARACTER' variables to a
     string of null bytes.  Finer-grained initialization options are
     provided by the `-finit-integer=N',
     `-finit-real=<ZERO|INF|-INF|NAN|SNAN>' (which also initializes the
     real and imaginary parts of local `COMPLEX' variables),
     `-finit-logical=<TRUE|FALSE>', and `-finit-character=N' (where N
     is an ASCII character value) options.  These options do not
     initialize
        * allocatable arrays

        * components of derived type variables

        * variables that appear in an `EQUIVALENCE' statement.
     (These limitations 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 optimizations
     may convert them into quiet NaN and that trapping needs to be
     enabled (e.g. via `-ffpe-trap').

     Finally, note that enabling any of the `-finit-*' options will
     silence warnings that would have been emitted by `-Wuninitialized'
     for the affected local variables.

`-falign-commons'
     By default, `gfortran' enforces proper alignment of all variables
     in a `COMMON' block by padding them as needed. On certain
     platforms this is mandatory, on others it increases performance.
     If a `COMMON' block is not declared with consistent data types
     everywhere, this padding can cause trouble, and
     `-fno-align-commons' can be used to disable automatic alignment.
     The same form of this option should be used for all files that
     share a `COMMON' block.  To avoid potential alignment issues in
     `COMMON' blocks, it is recommended to order objects from largest
     to smallest.

`-fno-protect-parens'
     By default the parentheses in expression are honored for all
     optimization levels such that the compiler does not do any
     re-association. Using `-fno-protect-parens' allows the compiler to
     reorder `REAL' and `COMPLEX' expressions to produce faster code.
     Note that for the re-association optimization `-fno-signed-zeros'
     and `-fno-trapping-math' need to be in effect. The parentheses
     protection is enabled by default, unless `-Ofast' is given.

`-frealloc-lhs'
     An allocatable left-hand side of an intrinsic assignment is
     automatically (re)allocated if it is either unallocated or has a
     different shape. The option is enabled by default except when
     `-std=f95' is given. See also `-Wrealloc-lhs'.

`-faggressive-function-elimination'
     Functions with identical argument lists are eliminated within
     statements, regardless of whether these functions are marked
     `PURE' or not. For example, in
            a = f(b,c) + f(b,c)
     there will only be a single call to `f'.  This option only works
     if `-ffrontend-optimize' is in effect.

`-ffrontend-optimize'
     This option performs front-end optimization, based on manipulating
     parts the Fortran parse tree.  Enabled by default by any `-O'
     option.  Optimizations enabled by this option include elimination
     of identical function calls within expressions, removing
     unnecessary calls to `TRIM' in comparisons and assignments and
     replacing `TRIM(a)' with `a(1:LEN_TRIM(a))'.  It can be deselected
     by specifying `-fno-frontend-optimize'.

3.1 `TMPDIR'--Directory for scratch files
=========================================

When opening a file with `STATUS='SCRATCH'', GNU Fortran tries to
create the file in one of the potential directories by testing each
directory in the order below.

  1. The environment variable `TMPDIR', if it exists.

  2. On the MinGW target, the directory returned by the `GetTempPath'
     function. Alternatively, on the Cygwin target, the `TMP' and
     `TEMP' environment variables, if they exist, in that order.

  3. The `P_tmpdir' macro if it is defined, otherwise the directory
     `/tmp'.

This environment variable controls whether all I/O is unbuffered.  If
the first letter is `y', `Y' or `1', all I/O is unbuffered.  This will
slow down small sequential reads and writes.  If the first letter is
`n', `N' or `0', I/O is buffered.  This is the default.

3.8 `GFORTRAN_OPTIONAL_PLUS'--Print leading + where permitted
=============================================================

If the first letter is `y', `Y' or `1', a plus sign is printed where
permitted by the Fortran standard.  If the first letter is `n', `N' or
`0', a plus sign is not printed in most cases.  Default is not to print
plus signs.

3.9 `GFORTRAN_DEFAULT_RECL'--Default record length for new files
================================================================

This environment variable specifies the default record length, in
bytes, for files which are opened without a `RECL' tag in the `OPEN'
statement.  This must be a positive integer.  The default value is
1073741824 bytes (1 GB).

3.10 `GFORTRAN_LIST_SEPARATOR'--Separator for list output
=========================================================

This environment variable specifies the separator when writing
list-directed output.  It may contain any number of spaces and at most
one comma.  If you specify this on the command line, be sure to quote
spaces, as in
     $ GFORTRAN_LIST_SEPARATOR='  ,  ' ./a.out
   when `a.out' is the compiled Fortran program that you want to run.
Default is a single space.

3.11 `GFORTRAN_CONVERT_UNIT'--Set endianness for unformatted I/O
================================================================

By setting the `GFORTRAN_CONVERT_UNIT' variable, it is possible to
change the representation of data for unformatted files.  The syntax
for 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 a
list of optional exceptions, which are separated by semicolons from the
preceding default and each other.  Each exception consists of a format
and a comma-separated list of units.  Valid values for the modes are
the 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 in
     little_endian mode, except for units 10 to 20 and 25, which are in
     native format.

     `'10-20''  Units 10 to 20 are big-endian, the rest is native.

   Setting the environment variables should be done on the command line
or 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.out

   Example code for `csh':
     % gfortran foo.f90
     % setenv GFORTRAN_CONVERT_UNIT 'big_endian;native:10-20'
     % ./a.out

   Using anything but the native representation for unformatted data
carries a significant speed overhead.  If speed in this area matters to
you, it is best if you use this only for data that needs to be portable.

   *Note CONVERT specifier::, for an alternative way to specify the
data representation for unformatted files.  *Note Runtime Options::, for
setting a default data representation for the whole program.  The
`CONVERT' specifier overrides the `-fconvert' compile options.

   _Note that the values specified via the GFORTRAN_CONVERT_UNIT
environment variable will override the CONVERT specifier in the open
statement_.  This is to give control over data formats to users who do
not have the source code of their program available.

3.12 `GFORTRAN_ERROR_BACKTRACE'--Show backtrace on run-time errors
==================================================================

If the `GFORTRAN_ERROR_BACKTRACE' variable is set to `y', `Y' or `1'
(only the first letter is relevant) then a backtrace is printed when a
serious run-time error occurs.  To disable the backtracing, set the
variable to `n', `N', `0'.  Default is to print a backtrace unless the
`-fno-backtrace' compile option was used.

4 Fortran 2003 and 2008 Status
******************************

* Fortran 2003 status::
* Fortran 2008 status::
* TS 29113 status::


File: gfortran.info,  Node: Fortran 2003 status,  Next: Fortran 2008 status,  Up: Fortran 2003 and 2008 status

4.1 Fortran 2003 status
=======================

GNU Fortran supports several Fortran 2003 features; an incomplete list
can be found below.  See also the wiki page
(http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/Fortran2003) about Fortran 2003.

   * Procedure pointers including procedure-pointer components with
     `PASS' attribute.

   * Procedures which are bound to a derived type (type-bound
     procedures) including `PASS', `PROCEDURE' and `GENERIC', and
     operators bound to a type.

   * Abstract interfaces and type extension with the possibility to
     override type-bound procedures or to have deferred binding.

   * Polymorphic entities ("`CLASS'") for derived types and unlimited
     polymorphism ("`CLASS(*)'") - including `SAME_TYPE_AS',
     `EXTENDS_TYPE_OF' and `SELECT TYPE' for scalars and arrays and
     finalization.

   * Generic interface names, which have the same name as derived types,
     are now supported. This allows one to write constructor functions.
     Note that Fortran does not support static constructor functions.
     For static variables, only default initialization or
     structure-constructor initialization are available.

   * The `ASSOCIATE' construct.

   * Interoperability with C including enumerations,

   * In structure constructors the components with default values may be
     omitted.

   * Extensions to the `ALLOCATE' statement, allowing for a
     type-specification with type parameter and for allocation and
     initialization from a `SOURCE=' expression; `ALLOCATE' and
     `DEALLOCATE' optionally return an error message string via
     `ERRMSG='.

   * Reallocation on assignment: If an intrinsic assignment is used, an
     allocatable variable on the left-hand side is automatically
     allocated (if unallocated) or reallocated (if the shape is
     different). Currently, scalar deferred character length left-hand
     sides are correctly handled but arrays are not yet fully
     implemented.

   * Deferred-length character variables and scalar deferred-length
     character components of derived types are supported. (Note that
     array-valued compoents are not yet implemented.)

   * Transferring of allocations via `MOVE_ALLOC'.

   * The `PRIVATE' and `PUBLIC' attributes may be given individually to
     derived-type components.

   * In pointer assignments, the lower bound may be specified and the
     remapping of elements is supported.

   * For pointers an `INTENT' may be specified which affect the
     association status not the value of the pointer target.

   * Intrinsics `command_argument_count', `get_command',
     `get_command_argument', and `get_environment_variable'.

   * Support for Unicode characters (ISO 10646) and UTF-8, including
     the `SELECTED_CHAR_KIND' and `NEW_LINE' intrinsic functions.

   * Support for binary, octal and hexadecimal (BOZ) constants in the
     intrinsic functions `INT', `REAL', `CMPLX' and `DBLE'.

   * Support for namelist variables with allocatable and pointer
     attribute and nonconstant length type parameter.

   * Array constructors using square brackets.  That is, `[...]' rather
     than `(/.../)'.  Type-specification for array constructors like
     `(/ some-type :: ... /)'.

   * Extensions to the specification and initialization expressions,
     including the support for intrinsics with real and complex
     arguments.

   * Support for the asynchronous input/output syntax; however, the
     data transfer is currently always synchronously performed.

   * `FLUSH' statement.

   * `IOMSG=' specifier for I/O statements.

   * Support for the declaration of enumeration constants via the
     `ENUM' and `ENUMERATOR' statements.  Interoperability with `gcc'
     is guaranteed also for the case where the `-fshort-enums' command
     line option is given.

   * TR 15581:
        * `ALLOCATABLE' dummy arguments.

        * `ALLOCATABLE' function results

        * `ALLOCATABLE' components of derived types

   * The `OPEN' statement supports the `ACCESS='STREAM'' specifier,
     allowing I/O without any record structure.

   * Namelist input/output for internal files.

   * Minor I/O features: Rounding during formatted output, using of a
     decimal comma instead of a decimal point, setting whether a plus
     sign should appear for positive numbers. On system where `strtod'
     honours the rounding mode, the rounding mode is also supported for
     input.

   * The `PROTECTED' statement and attribute.

   * The `VALUE' statement and attribute.

   * The `VOLATILE' statement and attribute.

   * The `IMPORT' statement, allowing to import host-associated derived
     types.

   * The intrinsic modules `ISO_FORTRAN_ENVIRONMENT' is supported,
     which contains parameters of the I/O units, storage sizes.
     Additionally, procedures for C interoperability are available in
     the `ISO_C_BINDING' module.

   * `USE' statement with `INTRINSIC' and `NON_INTRINSIC' attribute;
     supported intrinsic modules: `ISO_FORTRAN_ENV', `ISO_C_BINDING',
     `OMP_LIB' and `OMP_LIB_KINDS'.

   * Renaming of operators in the `USE' statement.

4.2 Fortran 2008 status
=======================

The latest version of the Fortran standard is ISO/IEC 1539-1:2010,
informally known as Fortran 2008.  The official version is available
from International Organization for Standardization (ISO) or its
national member organizations.  The the final draft (FDIS) can be
downloaded free of charge from
`http://www.nag.co.uk/sc22wg5/links.html'.  Fortran is developed by the
Working Group 5 of Sub-Committee 22 of the Joint Technical Committee 1
of the International Organization for Standardization and the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC).  This group is known as
WG5 (http://www.nag.co.uk/sc22wg5/).

   The GNU Fortran compiler supports several of the new features of
Fortran 2008; the wiki (http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/Fortran2008Status) has
some information about the current Fortran 2008 implementation status.
In particular, the following is implemented.

   * The `-std=f2008' option and support for the file extensions `.f08'
     and `.F08'.

   * The `OPEN' statement now supports the `NEWUNIT=' option, which
     returns a unique file unit, thus preventing inadvertent use of the
     same unit in different parts of the program.

   * The `g0' format descriptor and unlimited format items.

   * The mathematical intrinsics `ASINH', `ACOSH', `ATANH', `ERF',
     `ERFC', `GAMMA', `LOG_GAMMA', `BESSEL_J0', `BESSEL_J1',
     `BESSEL_JN', `BESSEL_Y0', `BESSEL_Y1', `BESSEL_YN', `HYPOT',
     `NORM2', and `ERFC_SCALED'.

   * Using complex arguments with `TAN', `SINH', `COSH', `TANH',
     `ASIN', `ACOS', and `ATAN' is now possible; `ATAN'(Y,X) is now an
     alias for `ATAN2'(Y,X).

   * Support of the `PARITY' intrinsic functions.

   * The following bit intrinsics: `LEADZ' and `TRAILZ' for counting
     the number of leading and trailing zero bits, `POPCNT' and
     `POPPAR' for counting the number of one bits and returning the
     parity; `BGE', `BGT', `BLE', and `BLT' for bitwise comparisons;
     `DSHIFTL' and `DSHIFTR' for combined left and right shifts,
     `MASKL' and `MASKR' for simple left and right justified masks,
     `MERGE_BITS' for a bitwise merge using a mask, `SHIFTA', `SHIFTL'
     and `SHIFTR' for shift operations, and the transformational bit
     intrinsics `IALL', `IANY' and `IPARITY'.

   * Support of the `EXECUTE_COMMAND_LINE' intrinsic subroutine.

   * Support for the `STORAGE_SIZE' intrinsic inquiry function.

   * The `INT{8,16,32}' and `REAL{32,64,128}' kind type parameters and
     the array-valued named constants `INTEGER_KINDS', `LOGICAL_KINDS',
     `REAL_KINDS' and `CHARACTER_KINDS' of the intrinsic module
     `ISO_FORTRAN_ENV'.

   * The module procedures `C_SIZEOF' of the intrinsic module
     `ISO_C_BINDINGS' and `COMPILER_VERSION' and `COMPILER_OPTIONS' of
     `ISO_FORTRAN_ENV'.

   * Coarray support for serial programs with `-fcoarray=single' flag
     and experimental support for multiple images with the
     `-fcoarray=lib' flag.

   * The `DO CONCURRENT' construct is supported.

   * The `BLOCK' construct is supported.

   * The `STOP' and the new `ERROR STOP' statements now support all
     constant expressions. Both show the signals which were signaling
     at termination.

   * Support for the `CONTIGUOUS' attribute.

   * Support for `ALLOCATE' with `MOLD'.

   * Support for the `IMPURE' attribute for procedures, which allows
     for `ELEMENTAL' procedures without the restrictions of `PURE'.

   * Null pointers (including `NULL()') and not-allocated variables can
     be used as actual argument to optional non-pointer, non-allocatable
     dummy arguments, denoting an absent argument.

   * Non-pointer variables with `TARGET' attribute can be used as
     actual argument to `POINTER' dummies with `INTENT(IN)'.

   * Pointers including procedure pointers and those in a derived type
     (pointer components) can now be initialized by a target instead of
     only by `NULL'.

   * The `EXIT' statement (with construct-name) can be now be used to
     leave not only the `DO' but also the `ASSOCIATE', `BLOCK', `IF',
     `SELECT CASE' and `SELECT TYPE' constructs.

   * Internal procedures can now be used as actual argument.

   * Minor features: obsolesce diagnostics for `ENTRY' with
     `-std=f2008'; a line may start with a semicolon; for internal and
     module procedures `END' can be used instead of `END SUBROUTINE'
     and `END FUNCTION'; `SELECTED_REAL_KIND' now also takes a `RADIX'
     argument; intrinsic types are supported for
     `TYPE'(INTRINSIC-TYPE-SPEC); multiple type-bound procedures can be
     declared in a single `PROCEDURE' statement; implied-shape arrays
     are supported for named constants (`PARAMETER').

5 Compiler Characteristics
**************************

This chapter describes certain characteristics of the GNU Fortran
compiler, that are not specified by the Fortran standard, but which
might in some way or another become visible to the programmer.

* Menu:

* KIND Type Parameters::
* Internal representation of LOGICAL variables::
* Thread-safety of the runtime library::
* Data consistency and durability::


File: gfortran.info,  Node: KIND Type Parameters,  Next: Internal representation of LOGICAL variables,  Up: Compiler Characteristics

5.1 KIND Type Parameters
========================

The `KIND' type parameters supported by GNU Fortran for the primitive
data types are:

`INTEGER'
     1, 2, 4, 8*, 16*, default: 4**

`LOGICAL'
     1, 2, 4, 8*, 16*, default: 4**

`REAL'
     4, 8, 10*, 16*, default: 4***

`COMPLEX'
     4, 8, 10*, 16*, default: 4***

`DOUBLE PRECISION'
     4, 8, 10*, 16*, default: 8***

`CHARACTER'
     1, 4, default: 1


* not available on all systems
** unless `-fdefault-integer-8' is used
*** unless `-fdefault-real-8' is used (see *Note Fortran Dialect
Options::)

The `KIND' value matches the storage size in bytes, except for
`COMPLEX' where the storage size is twice as much (or both real and
imaginary part are a real value of the given size).  It is recommended
to use the *Note SELECTED_CHAR_KIND::, *Note SELECTED_INT_KIND:: and
*Note SELECTED_REAL_KIND:: intrinsics or the `INT8', `INT16', `INT32',
`INT64', `REAL32', `REAL64', and `REAL128' parameters of the
`ISO_FORTRAN_ENV' module instead of the concrete values.  The available
kind parameters can be found in the constant arrays `CHARACTER_KINDS',
`INTEGER_KINDS', `LOGICAL_KINDS' and `REAL_KINDS' in the *Note
ISO_FORTRAN_ENV:: module.  For C interoperability, the kind parameters
of the *Note ISO_C_BINDING:: module should be used.

5.2 Internal representation of LOGICAL variables
================================================

The Fortran standard does not specify how variables of `LOGICAL' type
are represented, beyond requiring that `LOGICAL' variables of default
kind 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 undefined
behavior.

   See also *Note Argument passing conventions:: and *Note
Interoperability with C::.


File: gfortran.info,  Node: Thread-safety of the runtime library,  Next: Data consistency and durability,  Prev: Internal representation of LOGICAL variables,  Up: Compiler Characteristics

5.3 Thread-safety of the runtime library
========================================

GNU Fortran can be used in programs with multiple threads, e.g. by
using OpenMP, by calling OS thread handling functions via the
`ISO_C_BINDING' facility, or by GNU Fortran compiled library code being
called from a multi-threaded program.

   The GNU Fortran runtime library, (`libgfortran'), supports being
called concurrently from multiple threads with the following exceptions.

   During library initialization, the C `getenv' function is used,
which need not be thread-safe.  Similarly, the `getenv' function is
used to implement the `GET_ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE' and `GETENV'
intrinsics.  It is the responsibility of the user to ensure that the
environment is not being updated concurrently when any of these actions
are taking place.

   The `EXECUTE_COMMAND_LINE' and `SYSTEM' intrinsics are implemented
with the `system' function, which need not be thread-safe.  It is the
responsibility of the user to ensure that `system' is not called
concurrently.

   Finally, for platforms not supporting thread-safe POSIX functions,
further functionality might not be thread-safe.  For details, please
consult the documentation for your operating system.


File: gfortran.info,  Node: Data consistency and durability,  Prev: Thread-safety of the runtime library,  Up: Compiler Characteristics

5.4 Data consistency and durability
===================================

This section contains a brief overview of data and metadata consistency
and durability issues when doing I/O.

   With respect to durability, GNU Fortran makes no effort to ensure
that data is committed to stable storage. If this is required, the GNU
Fortran programmer can use the intrinsic `FNUM' to retrieve the low
level file descriptor corresponding to an open Fortran unit. Then,
using e.g. the `ISO_C_BINDING' feature, one can call the underlying
system call to flush dirty data to stable storage, such as `fsync' on
POSIX, `_commit' on MingW, or `fcntl(fd, F_FULLSYNC, 0)' on Mac OS X.
The following example shows how to call fsync:

       ! Declare the interface for POSIX fsync function
       interface
         function fsync (fd) bind(c,name="fsync")
         use iso_c_binding, only: c_int
           integer(c_int), value :: fd
           integer(c_int) :: fsync
         end function fsync
       end interface

       ! Variable declaration
       integer :: ret

       ! Opening unit 10
       open (10,file="foo")

       ! ...
       ! Perform I/O on unit 10
       ! ...

       ! Flush and sync
       flush(10)
       ret = fsync(fnum(10))

       ! Handle possible error
       if (ret /= 0) stop "Error calling FSYNC"

   With respect to consistency, for regular files GNU Fortran uses
buffered I/O in order to improve performance. This buffer is flushed
automatically when full and in some other situations, e.g. when closing
a unit. It can also be explicitly flushed with the `FLUSH' statement.
Also, the buffering can be turned off with the
`GFORTRAN_UNBUFFERED_ALL' and `GFORTRAN_UNBUFFERED_PRECONNECTED'
environment variables. Special files, such as terminals and pipes, are
always unbuffered. Sometimes, however, further things may need to be
done in order to allow other processes to see data that GNU Fortran has
written, as follows.

   The Windows platform supports a relaxed metadata consistency model,
where file metadata is written to the directory lazily. This means
that, for instance, the `dir' command can show a stale size for a file.
One can force a directory metadata update by closing the unit, or by
calling `_commit' on the file descriptor. Note, though, that `_commit'
will force all dirty data to stable storage, which is often a very slow
operation.

   The Network File System (NFS) implements a relaxed consistency model
called open-to-close consistency. Closing a file forces dirty data and
metadata to be flushed to the server, and opening a file forces the
client to contact the server in order to revalidate cached data.
`fsync' will also force a flush of dirty data and metadata to the
server. Similar to `open' and `close', acquiring and releasing `fcntl'
file locks, if the server supports them, will also force cache
validation and flushing dirty data and metadata.

The two sections below detail the extensions to standard Fortran that
are implemented in GNU Fortran, as well as some of the popular or
historically important extensions that are not (or not yet) implemented.
For the latter case, we explain the alternatives available to GNU
Fortran users, including replacement by standard-conforming code or GNU
extensions.

6.1 Extensions implemented in GNU Fortran
=========================================

GNU Fortran implements a number of extensions over standard Fortran.
This chapter contains information on their syntax and meaning.  There
are currently two categories of GNU Fortran extensions, those that
provide functionality beyond that provided by any standard, and those
that are supported by GNU Fortran purely for backward compatibility
with legacy compilers.  By default, `-std=gnu' allows the compiler to
accept both types of extensions, but to warn about the use of the
latter.  Specifying either `-std=f95', `-std=f2003' or `-std=f2008'
disables both types of extensions, and `-std=legacy' allows both
without warning.

File: gfortran.info,  Node: Old-style kind specifications,  Next: Old-style variable initialization,  Up: Extensions implemented in GNU Fortran

6.1.1 Old-style kind specifications
-----------------------------------

GNU Fortran allows old-style kind specifications in declarations.  These
look like:
           TYPESPEC*size x,y,z
   where `TYPESPEC' is a basic type (`INTEGER', `REAL', etc.), and
where `size' is a byte count corresponding to the storage size of a
valid kind for that type.  (For `COMPLEX' variables, `size' is the
total size of the real and imaginary parts.)  The statement then
declares `x', `y' and `z' to be of type `TYPESPEC' with the appropriate
kind.  This is equivalent to the standard-conforming declaration
           TYPESPEC(k) x,y,z
   where `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 the
correct value, for instance `REAL*8 x' can be replaced by:
     INTEGER, PARAMETER :: dbl = KIND(1.0d0)

6.1.2 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, but
unlike in a `DATA' statement, an initializer only applies to the
variable immediately preceding the initialization.  In other words,
something like `INTEGER I,J/2,3/' is not valid.  This style of
initialization is only allowed in declarations without double colons
(`::'); the double colons were introduced in Fortran 90, which also
introduced a standard syntax for initializing variables in type
declarations.

   Examples of standard-conforming code equivalent to the above example
are:
     ! Fortran 90
           INTEGER :: i = 1, j = 2
           REAL :: x(2,2) = RESHAPE((/0.,0.,0.,1./),SHAPE(x))
     ! Fortran 77
           INTEGER i, j
           REAL x(2,2)
           DATA i/1/, j/2/, x/3*0.,1./

   Note that variables which are explicitly initialized in declarations
or in `DATA' statements automatically acquire the `SAVE' attribute.

6.1.3 Extensions to namelist
----------------------------

GNU Fortran fully supports the Fortran 95 standard for namelist I/O
including array qualifiers, substrings and fully qualified derived
types.  The output from a namelist write is compatible with namelist
read.  The output has all names in upper case and indentation to column
1 after the namelist name.  Two extensions are permitted:

   Old-style use of `$' instead of `&'
     $MYNML
      X(:)%Y(2) = 1.0 2.0 3.0
      CH(1:4) = "abcd"
     $END

   It should be noted that the default terminator is `/' rather than
`&END'.

   Querying of the namelist when inputting from stdin.  After at least
one space, entering `?' sends to stdout the namelist name and the names
of the variables in the namelist:
      ?

     &mynml
      x
      x%y
      ch
     &end

   Entering `=?' outputs the namelist to stdout, as if `WRITE(*,NML =
mynml)' had been called:
     =?

     &MYNML
      X(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 their
messages 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_print
       REAL, dimension (4)  ::  x = (/1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0/)
       NAMELIST /mynml/ x
       PRINT mynml
     END PROGRAM test_print

   Expanded namelist reads are permitted.  This causes an error if
`-std=f95' is used.  In the following example, the first element of the
array will be given the value 0.00 and the two succeeding elements will
be given the values 1.00 and 2.00.
     &MYNML
       X(1,1) = 0.00 , 1.00 , 2.00
     /

   When writing a namelist, if no `DELIM=' is specified, by default a
double quote is used to delimit character strings. If -std=F95, F2003,
or F2008, etc, the delim status is set to 'none'.  Defaulting to quotes
ensures that namelists with character strings can be subsequently read
back in accurately.

6.1.4 `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, 3
     10     FORMAT (I1, X, I1)

6.1.5 Commas in `FORMAT' specifications
---------------------------------------

To support legacy codes, GNU Fortran allows the comma separator to be
omitted immediately before and after character string edit descriptors
in `FORMAT' statements.

            PRINT 10, 2, 3
     10     FORMAT ('FOO='I1' BAR='I2)

6.1.6 Missing period in `FORMAT' specifications
-----------------------------------------------

To support legacy codes, GNU Fortran allows missing periods in format
specifications if and only if `-std=legacy' is given on the command
line.  This is considered non-conforming code and is discouraged.

            REAL :: value
            READ(*,10) value

6.1.7 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.

6.1.8 `Q' exponent-letter
-------------------------

GNU Fortran accepts real literal constants with an exponent-letter of
`Q', for example, `1.23Q45'.  The constant is interpreted as a
`REAL(16)' entity on targets that support this type.  If the target
does not support `REAL(16)' but has a `REAL(10)' type, then the
real-literal-constant will be interpreted as a `REAL(10)' entity.  In
the absence of `REAL(16)' and `REAL(10)', an error will occur.


File: gfortran.info,  Node: BOZ literal constants,  Next: Real array indices,  Prev: `Q' exponent-letter,  Up: Extensions implemented in GNU Fortran

6.1.9 BOZ literal constants
---------------------------

Besides decimal constants, Fortran also supports binary (`b'), octal
(`o') and hexadecimal (`z') integer constants.  The syntax is: `prefix
quote digits quote', were the prefix is either `b', `o' or `z', quote
is either `'' or `"' and the digits are for binary `0' or `1', for
octal between `0' and `7', and for hexadecimal between `0' and `F'.
(Example: `b'01011101''.)

   Up to Fortran 95, BOZ literals were only allowed to initialize
integer variables in DATA statements.  Since Fortran 2003 BOZ literals
are also allowed as argument of `REAL', `DBLE', `INT' and `CMPLX'; the
result 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 literal
constants to be specified using the `X' prefix, in addition to the
standard `Z' prefix.  The BOZ literal can also be specified by adding a
suffix to the string, for example, `Z'ABC'' and `'ABC'Z' are equivalent.

   Furthermore, GNU Fortran allows using BOZ literal constants outside
DATA statements and the four intrinsic functions allowed by Fortran
2003.  In DATA statements, in direct assignments, where the right-hand
side only contains a BOZ literal constant, and for old-style
initializers of the form `integer i /o'0173'/', the constant is
transferred as if `TRANSFER' had been used; for `COMPLEX' numbers, only
the real part is initialized unless `CMPLX' is used.  In all other
cases, the BOZ literal constant is converted to an `INTEGER' value with
the largest decimal representation.  This value is then converted
numerically to the type and kind of the variable in question.  (For
instance, `real :: r = b'0000001' + 1' initializes `r' with `2.0'.) As
different compilers implement the extension differently, one should be
careful when doing bitwise initialization of non-integer variables.

   Note that initializing an `INTEGER' variable with a statement such
as `DATA i/Z'FFFFFFFF'/' will give an integer overflow error rather
than the desired result of -1 when `i' is a 32-bit integer on a system
that supports 64-bit integers.  The `-fno-range-check' option can be
used as a workaround for legacy code that initializes integers in this
manner.

6.1.11 Unary operators
----------------------

to appear as the second operand of binary arithmetic operators without
the need for parenthesis.

6.1.12 Implicitly convert `LOGICAL' and `INTEGER' values
--------------------------------------------------------

As an extension for backwards compatibility with other compilers, GNU
Fortran 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.' is
interpreted as one.  When converting from `INTEGER' to `LOGICAL', the
value zero is interpreted as `.FALSE.' and any nonzero value is
interpreted as `.TRUE.'.

             LOGICAL :: l
             l = 1

             INTEGER :: i
             i = .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 Fortran

6.1.13 Hollerith constants support
----------------------------------

GNU Fortran supports Hollerith constants in assignments, function
arguments, and `DATA' and `ASSIGN' statements.  A Hollerith constant is
written as a string of characters preceded by an integer constant
indicating the character count, and the letter `H' or `h', and stored
in bytewise fashion in a numeric (`INTEGER', `REAL', or `complex') or
`LOGICAL' variable.  The constant will be padded or truncated to fit
the 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) = 16HABCDEFGHIJKLMNOP
           call foo (4h abc)

   Invalid Hollerith constants examples:
           integer*4 a
           a = 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 rudimentary
facility for handling character strings in early Fortran compilers,
prior to the introduction of `CHARACTER' variables in Fortran 77; in
those cases, the standard-compliant equivalent is to convert the
program to use proper character strings.  On occasion, there may be a
case where the intent is specifically to initialize a numeric variable
with a given byte sequence.  In these cases, the same result can be
obtained by using the `TRANSFER' statement, as in this example.
           INTEGER(KIND=4) :: a
           a = TRANSFER ("abcd", a)     ! equivalent to: a = 4Habcd


File: gfortran.info,  Node: Cray pointers,  Next: CONVERT specifier,  Prev: Hollerith constants support,  Up: Extensions implemented in GNU Fortran

6.1.14 Cray pointers
--------------------

Cray pointers are part of a non-standard extension that provides a
C-like pointer in Fortran.  This is accomplished through a pair of
variables: 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 assumed
size array--that is, the last dimension may be left unspecified by
using a `*' in place of a value--but a pointee cannot be an assumed
shape array.  No space is allocated for the pointee.

   The pointee may have its type declared before or after the pointer
statement, and its array specification (if any) may be declared before,
during, or after the pointer statement.  The pointer may be declared as
an integer prior to the pointer statement.  However, some machines have
default integer sizes that are different than the size of a pointer,
and so the following code is not portable:
             integer ipt
             pointer (ipt, iarr)
   If a pointer is declared with a kind that is too small, the compiler
will issue a warning; the resulting binary will probably not work
correctly, because the memory addresses stored in the pointers may be
truncated.  It is safer to omit the first line of the above example; if
explicit declaration of ipt's type is omitted, then the compiler will
ensure that ipt is an integer variable large enough to hold a pointer.

   Pointer arithmetic is valid with Cray pointers, but it is not the
same as C pointer arithmetic.  Cray pointers are just ordinary
integers, so the user is responsible for determining how many bytes to
add to a pointer in order to increment it.  Consider the following
example:
             real target(10)
             real pointee(10)
             pointer (ipt, pointee)
             ipt = loc (target)
             ipt = ipt + 1
   The 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 one
byte to the address stored in `ipt'.

   Any expression involving the pointee will be translated to use the
value stored in the pointer as the base address.

   To get the address of elements, this extension provides an intrinsic
function `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 arpte
             ipt = loc(ar)  ! Makes arpte is an alias for ar
             arpte(1) = 1.0 ! Sets ar(1) to 1.0
   The 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.  For
example:
             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 it
is unsafe to use `iarr' and `target' simultaneously.  Using a pointee
in any way that violates the Fortran aliasing rules or assumptions is
illegal.  It is the user's responsibility to avoid doing this; the
compiler 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 with
which it shares storage is not used.  Code that violates these rules
may 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 this
is not unique to GNU Fortran; any Fortran compiler that supports Cray
pointers will "incorrectly" optimize code with illegal aliasing.)

   There are a number of restrictions on the attributes that can be
applied 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, nor may they be function results.  Pointees may not occur
in more than one pointer statement.  A pointee cannot be a pointer.
Pointees cannot occur in equivalence, common, or data statements.

   A Cray pointer may also point to a function or a subroutine.  For
example, the following excerpt is valid:
       implicit none
       external sub
       pointer (subptr,subpte)
       external subpte
       subptr = loc(sub)
       call subpte()
       [...]
       subroutine sub
       [...]
       end subroutine sub

   A pointer may be modified during the course of a program, and this
will change the location to which the pointee refers.  However, when
pointees are passed as arguments, they are treated as ordinary
variables in the invoked function.  Subsequent changes to the pointer
will 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 Fortran

6.1.15 `CONVERT' specifier
--------------------------

GNU Fortran allows the conversion of unformatted data between little-
and big-endian representation to facilitate moving of data between
different systems.  The conversion can be indicated with the `CONVERT'
specifier on the `OPEN' statement.  *Note GFORTRAN_CONVERT_UNIT::, for
an alternative way of specifying the data format via an environment
variable.

   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 for
     unformatted files.

     `CONVERT='BIG_ENDIAN'' Use the big-endian representation for
     unformatted 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' values
of all supported kinds and for `REAL' on IEEE systems of kinds 4 and 8.
Conversion between different "extended double" types on different
architectures 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_UNIT
environment variable will override the CONVERT specifier in the open
statement_.  This is to give control over data formats to users who do
not have the source code of their program available.

   Using anything but the native representation for unformatted data
carries a significant speed overhead.  If speed in this area matters to
you, it is best if you use this only for data that needs to be portable.

6.1.16 OpenMP
-------------

OpenMP (Open Multi-Processing) is an application programming interface
(API) that supports multi-platform shared memory multiprocessing
programming in C/C++ and Fortran on many architectures, including Unix
and Microsoft Windows platforms.  It consists of a set of compiler
directives, library routines, and environment variables that influence
run-time behavior.

   GNU Fortran strives to be compatible to the OpenMP Application
Program Interface v4.0 (http://openmp.org/wp/openmp-specifications/).

   To enable the processing of the OpenMP directive `!$omp' in
free-form source code; the `c$omp', `*$omp' and `!$omp' directives in
fixed form; the `!$' conditional compilation sentinels in free form;
and the `c$', `*$' and `!$' sentinels in fixed form, `gfortran' needs
to be invoked with the `-fopenmp'.  This also arranges for automatic
linking of the GNU OpenMP runtime library *Note libgomp: (libgomp)Top.

   The OpenMP Fortran runtime library routines are provided both in a
form 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 the
OpenMP Application Program Interface v2.5:
     SUBROUTINE A1(N, A, B)
       INTEGER I, N
       REAL B(N), A(N)
     !$OMP PARALLEL DO !I is private by default
       DO I=2,N
         B(I) = (A(I) + A(I-1)) / 2.0
       ENDDO
     !$OMP END PARALLEL DO
     END SUBROUTINE A1

   Please note:
   * `-fopenmp' implies `-frecursive', i.e., all local arrays will be
     allocated on the stack.  When porting existing code to OpenMP,
     this may lead to surprising results, especially to segmentation
     faults if the stacksize is limited.

   * On glibc-based systems, OpenMP enabled applications cannot be
     statically linked due to limitations of the underlying
     pthreads-implementation.  It might be possible to get a working
     solution 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 Fortran

6.1.17 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 recommended
that these should be used only for code that is accessing facilities
outside of GNU Fortran, such as operating system or windowing
facilities.  It is best to constrain such uses to isolated portions of
a program-portions that deal specifically and exclusively with
low-level, system-dependent facilities.  Such portions might well
provide a portable interface for use by the program as a whole, but are
themselves not portable, and should be thoroughly tested each time they
are rebuilt using a new compiler or version of a compiler.

   `%VAL' passes a scalar argument by value, `%REF' passes it by
reference and `%LOC' passes its memory location.  Since gfortran
already passes scalar arguments by reference, `%REF' is in effect a
do-nothing.  `%LOC' has the same effect as a Fortran pointer.

   An example of passing an argument by value to a C subroutine foo.:
     C
     C prototype      void foo_ (float x);
     C
           external foo
           real*4 x
           x = 3.14159
           call foo (%VAL (x))
           end

   For 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 Fortran
testsuite are worth a look.

6.2 Extensions not implemented in GNU Fortran
=============================================

The long history of the Fortran language, its wide use and broad
userbase, the large number of different compiler vendors and the lack of
some features crucial to users in the first standards have lead to the
existence of a number of important extensions to the language.  While
some of the most useful or popular extensions are supported by the GNU
Fortran compiler, not all existing extensions are supported.  This
section aims at listing these extensions and offering advice on how
best make code that uses them running with the GNU Fortran compiler.

* STRUCTURE and RECORD::
* ENCODE and DECODE statements::
* Variable FORMAT expressions::
* Alternate complex function syntax::
* Volatile COMMON blocks::


File: gfortran.info,  Node: STRUCTURE and RECORD,  Next: ENCODE and DECODE statements,  Up: Extensions not implemented in GNU Fortran

6.2.1 `STRUCTURE' and `RECORD'
------------------------------

Record structures are a pre-Fortran-90 vendor extension to create
user-defined aggregate data types.  GNU Fortran does not support record
structures, only Fortran 90's "derived types", which have a different
syntax.

   In many cases, record structures can easily be converted to derived
types.  To convert, replace `STRUCTURE /'STRUCTURE-NAME`/' by `TYPE'
TYPE-NAME.  Additionally, replace `RECORD /'STRUCTURE-NAME`/' by
`TYPE('TYPE-NAME`)'. Finally, in the component access, replace the
period (`.') by the percent sign (`%').

   Here is an example of code using the non portable record structure
syntax:

     ! Declaring a structure named ``item'' and containing three fields:
     ! an integer ID, an description string and a floating-point price.
     STRUCTURE /item/
       INTEGER id
       CHARACTER(LEN=200) description
       REAL price
     END 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 directly access the fields of both variables
     pear.id = 92316
     pear.description = "juicy D'Anjou pear"
     pear.price = 0.15
     store_catalog(7).id = 7831
     store_catalog(7).description = "milk bottle"
     store_catalog(7).price = 1.2

     ! We can also manipulate the whole structure
     store_catalog(12) = pear
     print *, store_catalog(12)

This code can easily be rewritten in the Fortran 90 syntax as following:

     ! ``STRUCTURE /name/ ... END STRUCTURE'' becomes
     ! ``TYPE name ... END TYPE''
     TYPE item
       INTEGER id
       CHARACTER(LEN=200) description
       REAL price
     END TYPE

     ! ``RECORD /name/ variable'' becomes ``TYPE(name) variable''
     TYPE(item) pear, store_catalog(100)

     ! Instead of using a dot (.) to access fields of a record, the
     ! standard syntax uses a percent sign (%)
     pear%id = 92316
     pear%description = "juicy D'Anjou pear"
     pear%price = 0.15
     store_catalog(7)%id = 7831
     store_catalog(7)%description = "milk bottle"
     store_catalog(7)%price = 1.2

     ! Assignments of a whole variable do not change
     store_catalog(12) = pear
     print *, store_catalog(12)

6.2.2 `ENCODE' and `DECODE' statements
--------------------------------------

GNU Fortran does not support the `ENCODE' and `DECODE' statements.
These statements are best replaced by `READ' and `WRITE' statements
involving internal files (`CHARACTER' variables and arrays), which have
been part of the Fortran standard since Fortran 77.  For example,
replace a code fragment like

           INTEGER*1 LINE(80)
           REAL A, B, C
     c     ... Code that sets LINE
           DECODE (80, 9000, LINE) A, B, C
      9000 FORMAT (1X, 3(F10.5))

with the following:

           CHARACTER(LEN=80) LINE
           REAL A, B, C
     c     ... Code that sets LINE
           READ (UNIT=LINE, FMT=9000) A, B, C
      9000 FORMAT (1X, 3(F10.5))

   Similarly, replace a code fragment like

           INTEGER*1 LINE(80)
           REAL A, B, C
     c     ... Code that sets A, B and C
           ENCODE (80, 9000, LINE) A, B, C
      9000 FORMAT (1X, 'OUTPUT IS ', 3(F10.5))

with the following:

           CHARACTER(LEN=80) LINE
           REAL A, B, C
     c     ... Code that sets A, B and C
           WRITE (UNIT=LINE, FMT=9000) A, B, C
      9000 FORMAT (1X, 'OUTPUT IS ', 3(F10.5))

6.2.3 Variable `FORMAT' expressions
-----------------------------------

A variable `FORMAT' expression is format statement which includes angle
brackets enclosing a Fortran expression: `FORMAT(I<N>)'.  GNU Fortran
does not support this legacy extension.  The effect of variable format
expressions can be reproduced by using the more powerful (and standard)
combination of internal output and string formats.  For example,
replace a code fragment like this:

           WRITE(6,20) INT1
      20   FORMAT(I<N+1>)

with the following:

     c     Variable declaration
           CHARACTER(LEN=20) FMT
     c
     c     Other code here...
     c
           WRITE(FMT,'("(I", I0, ")")') N+1
           WRITE(6,FMT) INT1

or with:

     c     Variable declaration
           CHARACTER(LEN=20) FMT
     c
     c     Other code here...
     c
           WRITE(FMT,*) N+1
           WRITE(6,"(I" // ADJUSTL(FMT) // ")") INT1

6.2.4 Alternate complex function syntax
---------------------------------------

Some Fortran compilers, including `g77', let the user declare complex
functions with the syntax `COMPLEX FUNCTION name*16()', as well as
`COMPLEX*16 FUNCTION name()'.  Both are non-standard, legacy
extensions.  `gfortran' accepts the latter form, which is more common,
but not the former.

6.2.5 Volatile `COMMON' blocks
------------------------------

Some Fortran compilers, including `g77', let the user declare `COMMON'
with the `VOLATILE' attribute. This is invalid standard Fortran syntax
and is not supported by `gfortran'.  Note that `gfortran' accepts
`VOLATILE' variables in `COMMON' blocks since revision 4.3.

* Interoperability with C::
* GNU Fortran Compiler Directives::
* Non-Fortran Main Program::
* Naming and argument-passing conventions::

   This chapter is about mixed-language interoperability, but also
applies if one links Fortran code compiled by different compilers.  In
most cases, use of the C Binding features of the Fortran 2003 standard
is sufficient, and their use is highly recommended.


File: gfortran.info,  Node: Interoperability with C,  Next: GNU Fortran Compiler Directives,  Up: Mixed-Language Programming

7.1 Interoperability with C
===========================

* Menu:

* Intrinsic Types::
* Derived Types and struct::
* Interoperable Global Variables::
* Interoperable Subroutines and Functions::
* Working with Pointers::
* Further Interoperability of Fortran with C::

   Since Fortran 2003 (ISO/IEC 1539-1:2004(E)) there is a standardized
way to generate procedure and derived-type declarations and global
variables which are interoperable with C (ISO/IEC 9899:1999).  The
`bind(C)' attribute has been added to inform the compiler that a symbol
shall be interoperable with C; also, some constraints are added.  Note,
however, that not all C features have a Fortran equivalent or vice
versa.  For instance, neither C's unsigned integers nor C's functions
with variable number of arguments have an equivalent in Fortran.

   Note that array dimensions are reversely ordered in C and that
arrays in C always start with index 0 while in Fortran they start by
default 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: Derived Types and struct,  Up: Interoperability with C

7.1.1 Intrinsic Types
---------------------

In order to ensure that exactly the same variable type and kind is used
in C and Fortran, the named constants shall be used which are defined
in the `ISO_C_BINDING' intrinsic module.  That module contains named
constants for kind parameters and character named constants for the
escape sequences in C.  For a list of the constants, see *Note
ISO_C_BINDING::.

   For logical types, please note that the Fortran standard only
guarantees interoperability between C99's `_Bool' and Fortran's
`C_Bool'-kind logicals and C99 defines that `true' has the value 1 and
`false' the value 0.  Using any other integer value with GNU Fortran's
`LOGICAL' (with any kind parameter) gives an undefined result.
(Passing other integer values than 0 and 1 to GCC's `_Bool' is also
undefined, unless the integer is explicitly or implicitly casted to
`_Bool'.)


File: gfortran.info,  Node: Derived Types and struct,  Next: Interoperable Global Variables,  Prev: Intrinsic Types,  Up: Interoperability with C

7.1.2 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, the
following type declaration

      USE ISO_C_BINDING
      TYPE, BIND(C) :: myType
        INTEGER(C_INT) :: i1, i2
        INTEGER(C_SIGNED_CHAR) :: i3
        REAL(C_DOUBLE) :: d1
        COMPLEX(C_FLOAT_COMPLEX) :: c1
        CHARACTER(KIND=C_CHAR) :: str(5)
      END TYPE

   matches the following `struct' declaration in C

      struct {
        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, nor
type-bound procedures.  Every component must be of interoperable type
and kind and may not have the `pointer' or `allocatable' attribute.
The names of the components are irrelevant for interoperability.

   As there exist no direct Fortran equivalents, neither unions nor
structs with bit field or variable-length array members are
interoperable.


File: gfortran.info,  Node: Interoperable Global Variables,  Next: Interoperable Subroutines and Functions,  Prev: Derived Types and struct,  Up: Interoperability with C

7.1.3 Interoperable Global Variables
------------------------------------

Variables can be made accessible from C using the C binding attribute,
optionally together with specifying a binding name.  Those variables
have to be declared in the declaration part of a `MODULE', be of
interoperable type, and have neither the `pointer' nor the
`allocatable' attribute.

       MODULE m
         USE myType_module
         USE ISO_C_BINDING
         integer(C_INT), bind(C, name="_MyProject_flags") :: global_flag
         type(myType), bind(C) :: tp
       END MODULE

   Here, `_MyProject_flags' is the case-sensitive name of the variable
as seen from C programs while `global_flag' is the case-insensitive
name as seen from Fortran.  If no binding name is specified, as for TP,
the C binding name is the (lowercase) Fortran binding name.  If a
binding name is specified, only a single variable may be after the
double colon.  Note of warning: You cannot use a global variable to
access ERRNO of the C library as the C standard allows it to be a
macro.  Use the `IERRNO' intrinsic (GNU extension) instead.


File: gfortran.info,  Node: Interoperable Subroutines and Functions,  Next: Working with Pointers,  Prev: Interoperable Global Variables,  Up: Interoperability with C

7.1.4 Interoperable Subroutines and Functions
---------------------------------------------

Subroutines and functions have to have the `BIND(C)' attribute to be
compatible with C.  The dummy argument declaration is relatively
straightforward.  However, one needs to be careful because C uses
call-by-value by default while Fortran behaves usually similar to
call-by-reference.  Furthermore, strings and pointers are handled
differently.  Note that in Fortran 2003 and 2008 only explicit size and
assumed-size arrays are supported but not assumed-shape or
deferred-shape (i.e. allocatable or pointer) arrays.  However, those
are allowed since the Technical Specification 29113, see *Note Further
Interoperability of Fortran with C::

   To pass a variable by value, use the `VALUE' attribute.  Thus, the
following C prototype

     `int func(int i, int *j)'

   matches the Fortran declaration

       integer(c_int) function func(i,j)
         use iso_c_binding, only: c_int
         integer(c_int), VALUE :: i
         integer(c_int) :: j

   Note that pointer arguments also frequently need the `VALUE'
attribute, see *Note Working with Pointers::.

   Strings are handled quite differently in C and Fortran.  In C a
string is a `NUL'-terminated array of characters while in Fortran each
string has 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 using

       use iso_c_binding, only: C_CHAR, C_NULL_CHAR
       interface
         subroutine print_c(string) bind(C, name="print_C")
           use iso_c_binding, only: c_char
           character(kind=c_char) :: string(*)
         end subroutine print_c
       end interface
       call 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 a
length-one assumed-size array; using `character(len=*)' is not allowed.
The example above uses `c_char_"Hello World"' to ensure the string
literal 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 strings is now further illustrated using the C library
function `strncpy', whose prototype is

       char *strncpy(char *restrict s1, const char *restrict s2, size_t n);

   The function `strncpy' copies at most N characters from string S2 to
S1 and returns S1.  In the following example, we ignore the return
value:

       use iso_c_binding
       implicit none
       character(len=30) :: str,str2
       interface
         ! Ignore the return value of strncpy -> subroutine
         ! "restrict" is always assumed if we do not pass a pointer
         subroutine strncpy(dest, src, n) bind(C)
           import
           character(kind=c_char),  intent(out) :: dest(*)
           character(kind=c_char),  intent(in)  :: src(*)
           integer(c_size_t), value, intent(in) :: n
         end subroutine strncpy
       end interface
       str = 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"
       end

   The intrinsic procedures are described in *Note Intrinsic
Procedures::.

7.1.5 Working with Pointers
---------------------------

C pointers are represented in Fortran via the special opaque derived
type `type(c_ptr)' (with private components).  Thus one needs to use
intrinsic conversion procedures to convert from or to C pointers.

   For some applications, using an assumed type (`TYPE(*)') can be an
alternative to a C pointer; see *Note Further Interoperability of
Fortran with C::.

   For example,

       use iso_c_binding
       type(c_ptr) :: cptr1, cptr2
       integer, target :: array(7), scalar
       integer, pointer :: pa(:), ps
       cptr1 = c_loc(array(1)) ! The programmer needs to ensure that the
                               ! array is contiguous if required by the C
                               ! procedure
       cptr2 = 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.

   If a pointer is a dummy-argument of an interoperable procedure, it
usually has to be declared using the `VALUE' attribute.  `void*'
matches `TYPE(C_PTR), VALUE', while `TYPE(C_PTR)' alone matches
`void**'.

   Procedure pointers are handled analogously to pointers; the C type is
`TYPE(C_FUNPTR)' and the intrinsic conversion procedures are
`C_F_PROCPOINTER' and `C_FUNLOC'.

   Let us consider two examples of actually passing a procedure pointer
from C to Fortran and vice versa.  Note that these examples are also
very similar to passing ordinary pointers between both languages. First,
consider this code in C:

     /* Procedure implemented in Fortran.  */
     void get_values (void (*)(double));

     /* Call-back routine we want called from Fortran.  */
     void
     print_it (double x)
     {
       printf ("Number is %f.\n", x);
     }

     /* Call Fortran routine and pass call-back to it.  */
     void
     foobar ()
     {
       get_values (&print_it);
     }

   A matching implementation for `get_values' in Fortran, that correctly
receives the procedure pointer from C and is able to call it, is given
in the following `MODULE':

     MODULE m
       IMPLICIT NONE

       ! Define interface of call-back routine.
       ABSTRACT INTERFACE
         SUBROUTINE callback (x)
           USE, INTRINSIC :: ISO_C_BINDING
           REAL(KIND=C_DOUBLE), INTENT(IN), VALUE :: x
         END SUBROUTINE callback
       END INTERFACE

     CONTAINS

       ! Define C-bound procedure.
       SUBROUTINE get_values (cproc) BIND(C)
         USE, INTRINSIC :: ISO_C_BINDING
         TYPE(C_FUNPTR), INTENT(IN), VALUE :: cproc

         PROCEDURE(callback), POINTER :: proc

         ! Convert C to Fortran procedure pointer.
         CALL C_F_PROCPOINTER (cproc, proc)

         ! Call it.
         CALL proc (1.0_C_DOUBLE)
         CALL proc (-42.0_C_DOUBLE)
         CALL proc (18.12_C_DOUBLE)
       END SUBROUTINE get_values

     END MODULE m

   Next, we want to call a C routine that expects a procedure pointer
argument and pass it a Fortran procedure (which clearly must be
interoperable!).  Again, the C function may be:

     int
     call_it (int (*func)(int), int arg)
     {
       return func (arg);
     }

   It can be used as in the following Fortran code:

     MODULE m
       USE, INTRINSIC :: ISO_C_BINDING
       IMPLICIT NONE

       ! Define interface of C function.
       INTERFACE
         INTEGER(KIND=C_INT) FUNCTION call_it (func, arg) BIND(C)
           USE, INTRINSIC :: ISO_C_BINDING
           TYPE(C_FUNPTR), INTENT(IN), VALUE :: func
           INTEGER(KIND=C_INT), INTENT(IN), VALUE :: arg
         END FUNCTION call_it
       END INTERFACE

     CONTAINS

       ! Define procedure passed to C function.
       ! It must be interoperable!
       INTEGER(KIND=C_INT) FUNCTION double_it (arg) BIND(C)
         INTEGER(KIND=C_INT), INTENT(IN), VALUE :: arg
         double_it = arg + arg
       END FUNCTION double_it

       ! Call C function.
       SUBROUTINE foobar ()
         TYPE(C_FUNPTR) :: cproc
         INTEGER(KIND=C_INT) :: i

         ! Get C procedure pointer.
         cproc = C_FUNLOC (double_it)

         ! Use it.
         DO i = 1_C_INT, 10_C_INT
           PRINT *, call_it (cproc, i)
         END DO
       END SUBROUTINE foobar

     END MODULE m

7.1.6 Further Interoperability of Fortran with C
------------------------------------------------

The Technical Specification ISO/IEC TS 29113:2012 on further
interoperability of Fortran with C extends the interoperability support
of Fortran 2003 and Fortran 2008. Besides removing some restrictions
and constraints, it adds assumed-type (`TYPE(*)') and assumed-rank
(`dimension') variables and allows for interoperability of
assumed-shape, assumed-rank and deferred-shape arrays, including
allocatables and pointers.

   Note: Currently, GNU Fortran does not support the array descriptor
(dope vector) as specified in the Technical Specification, but uses an
array descriptor with different fields. The Chasm Language
Interoperability Tools, `http://chasm-interop.sourceforge.net/',
provide an interface to GNU Fortran's array descriptor.

   The Technical Specification adds the following new features, which
are supported by GNU Fortran:

   * The `ASYNCHRONOUS' attribute has been clarified and extended to
     allow its use with asynchronous communication in user-provided
     libraries such as in implementations of the Message Passing
     Interface specification.

   * Many constraints have been relaxed, in particular for the `C_LOC'
     and `C_F_POINTER' intrinsics.

   * The `OPTIONAL' attribute is now allowed for dummy arguments; an
     absent argument matches a `NULL' pointer.

   * Assumed types (`TYPE(*)') have been added, which may only be used
     for dummy arguments.  They are unlimited polymorphic but contrary
     to `CLASS(*)' they do not contain any type information, similar to
     C's `void *' pointers.  Expressions of any type and kind can be
     passed; thus, it can be used as replacement for `TYPE(C_PTR)',
     avoiding the use of `C_LOC' in the caller.

     Note, however, that `TYPE(*)' only accepts scalar arguments,
     unless the `DIMENSION' is explicitly specified.  As `DIMENSION(*)'
     only supports array (including array elements) but no scalars, it
     is not a full replacement for `C_LOC'.  On the other hand,
     assumed-type assumed-rank dummy arguments (`TYPE(*),
     DIMENSION(..)') allow for both scalars and arrays, but require
     special code on the callee side to handle the array descriptor.

   * Assumed-rank arrays (`DIMENSION(..)') as dummy argument allow that
     scalars and arrays of any rank can be passed as actual argument.
     As the Technical Specification does not provide for direct means
     to operate with them, they have to be used either from the C side
     or be converted using `C_LOC' and `C_F_POINTER' to scalars or
     arrays of a specific rank. The rank can be determined using the
     `RANK' intrinisic.

   Currently unimplemented:

   * GNU Fortran always uses an array descriptor, which does not match
     the one of the Technical Specification. The
     `ISO_Fortran_binding.h' header file and the C functions it
     specifies are not available.

   * Using assumed-shape, assumed-rank and deferred-shape arrays in
     `BIND(C)' procedures is not fully supported. In particular, C
     interoperable strings of other length than one are not supported
     as this requires the new array descriptor.


File: gfortran.info,  Node: GNU Fortran Compiler Directives,  Next: Non-Fortran Main Program,  Prev: Interoperability with C,  Up: Mixed-Language Programming

7.2 GNU Fortran Compiler Directives
===================================

The Fortran standard describes how a conforming program shall behave;
however, the exact implementation is not standardized.  In order to
allow the user to choose specific implementation details, compiler
directives can be used to set attributes of variables and procedures
which are not part of the standard.  Whether a given attribute is
supported and its exact effects depend on both the operating system and
on the processor; see *Note C Extensions: (gcc)Top.  for details.

   For procedures and procedure pointers, the following attributes can
be 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 registers
     instead using the stack

   Besides changing the calling convention, the attributes also
influence the decoration of the symbol name, e.g., by a leading
underscore or by a trailing at-sign followed by the number of bytes on
the stack.  When assigning a procedure to a procedure pointer, both
should use the same calling convention.

   On some systems, procedures and global variables (module variables
and `COMMON' blocks) need special handling to be accessible when they
are 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 global
     pointer

   For dummy arguments, the `NO_ARG_CHECK' attribute can be used; in
other compilers, it is also known as `IGNORE_TKR'.  For dummy arguments
with this attribute actual arguments of any type and kind (similar to
`TYPE(*)'), scalars and arrays of any rank (no equivalent in Fortran
standard) are accepted.  As with `TYPE(*)', the argument is unlimited
polymorphic and no type information is available.  Additionally, the
argument may only be passed to dummy arguments with the `NO_ARG_CHECK'
attribute and as argument to the `PRESENT' intrinsic function and to
`C_LOC' of the `ISO_C_BINDING' module.

   Variables with `NO_ARG_CHECK' attribute shall be of assumed-type
(`TYPE(*)'; recommended) or of type `INTEGER', `LOGICAL', `REAL' or
`COMPLEX'. They shall not have the `ALLOCATE', `CODIMENSION',
`INTENT(OUT)', `POINTER' or `VALUE' attribute; furthermore, they shall
be either scalar or of assumed-size (`dimension(*)'). As `TYPE(*)', the
`NO_ARG_CHECK' attribute requires an explicit interface.

   * `NO_ARG_CHECK' - disable the type, kind and rank checking

   The attributes are specified using the syntax

   `!GCC$ ATTRIBUTES' ATTRIBUTE-LIST `::' VARIABLE-LIST

   where in free-form source code only whitespace is allowed before
`!GCC$' and in fixed-form source code `!GCC$', `cGCC$' or `*GCC$' shall
start in the first column.

   For procedures, the compiler directives shall be placed into the body
of the procedure; for variables and procedure pointers, they shall be in
the same declaration part as the variable or procedure pointer.

   Even if you are doing mixed-language programming, it is very likely
that 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 also
change in GCC minor releases.

   When you compile a `PROGRAM' with GNU Fortran, a function with the
name `main' (in the symbol table of the object file) is generated,
which initializes the libgfortran library and then calls the actual
program which uses the name `MAIN__', for historic reasons.  If you
link GNU Fortran compiled procedures to, e.g., a C or C++ program or to
a Fortran program compiled by a different compiler, the libgfortran
library is not initialized and thus a few intrinsic procedures do not
work properly, e.g.  those for obtaining the command-line arguments.

   Therefore, if your `PROGRAM' is not compiled with GNU Fortran and
the GNU Fortran compiled procedures require intrinsics relying on the
library 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 if
the called procedures access the command line (and for backtracing);
the latter sets some flags based on the standard chosen or to enable
backtracing.  In typical programs, it is not necessary to call any
initialization function.

   If your `PROGRAM' is compiled with GNU Fortran, you shall not call
any of the following functions.  The libgfortran initialization
functions are shown in C syntax but using C bindings they are also
accessible from Fortran.

7.3.1 `_gfortran_set_args' -- Save command-line arguments
---------------------------------------------------------

_Description_:
     `_gfortran_set_args' saves the command-line arguments; this
     initialization is required if any of the command-line intrinsics
     is called.  Additionally, it shall be called if backtracing is
     enabled (see `_gfortran_set_options').

_Syntax_:
     `void _gfortran_set_args (int argc, char *argv[])'

_Arguments_:
     ARGC       number of command line argument strings
     ARGV       the command-line argument strings; argv[0] is
                the pathname of the executable itself.

_Example_:
          int main (int argc, char *argv[])
          {
            /* Initialize libgfortran.  */
            _gfortran_set_args (argc, argv);

     standard to be used, whether backtracing should be enabled and
     whether range checks should be performed.  The syntax allows for
     upward compatibility since the number of passed flags is
     specified; for non-passed flags, the default value is used.  See
     also *note Code Gen Options::.  Please note that not all flags are
     actually used.

7.4 Naming and argument-passing conventions
===========================================

This section gives an overview about the naming convention of procedures
and global variables and about the argument passing conventions used by
GNU Fortran.  If a C binding has been specified, the naming convention
and some of the argument-passing conventions change.  If possible,
mixed-language and mixed-compiler projects should use the better defined
C binding for interoperability.  See *note Interoperability with C::.

* Menu:

* Naming conventions::
* Argument passing conventions::


File: gfortran.info,  Node: Naming conventions,  Next: Argument passing conventions,  Up: Naming and argument-passing conventions

7.4.1 Naming conventions
------------------------

According the Fortran standard, valid Fortran names consist of a letter
between `A' to `Z', `a' to `z', digits `0', `1' to `9' and underscores
(`_') with the restriction that names may only start with a letter.  As
vendor extension, the dollar sign (`$') is additionally permitted with
the option `-fdollar-ok', but not as first character and only if the
target system supports it.

   By default, the procedure name is the lower-cased Fortran name with
an appended underscore (`_'); using `-fno-underscoring' no underscore
is appended while `-fsecond-underscore' appends two underscores.
Depending on the target system and the calling convention, the
procedure might be additionally dressed; for instance, on 32bit Windows
with `stdcall', an at-sign `@' followed by an integer number is
appended.  For the changing the calling convention, see *note GNU
Fortran Compiler Directives::.

   For common blocks, the same convention is used, i.e. by default an
underscore is appended to the lower-cased Fortran name.  Blank commons
have the name `__BLNK__'.

   For procedures and variables declared in the specification space of a
module, the name is formed by `__', followed by the lower-cased module
name, `_MOD_', and the lower-cased Fortran name.  Note that no
underscore is appended.


File: gfortran.info,  Node: Argument passing conventions,  Prev: Naming conventions,  Up: Naming and argument-passing conventions

7.4.2 Argument passing conventions
----------------------------------

Subroutines do not return a value (matching C99's `void') while
functions either return a value as specified in the platform ABI or the
result variable is passed as hidden argument to the function and no
result is returned.  A hidden result variable is used when the result
variable is an array or of type `CHARACTER'.

   Arguments are passed according to the platform ABI. In particular,
complex arguments might not be compatible to a struct with two real
components for the real and imaginary part. The argument passing
matches the one of C99's `_Complex'.  Functions with scalar complex
result variables return their value and do not use a by-reference
argument.  Note that with the `-ff2c' option, the argument passing is
modified and no longer completely matches the platform ABI.  Some other
Fortran compilers use `f2c' semantic by default; this might cause
problems with interoperablility.

   GNU Fortran passes most arguments by reference, i.e. by passing a
pointer to the data.  Note that the compiler might use a temporary
variable into which the actual argument has been copied, if required
semantically (copy-in/copy-out).

   For arguments with `ALLOCATABLE' and `POINTER' attribute (including
procedure pointers), a pointer to the pointer is passed such that the
pointer address can be modified in the procedure.

   For dummy arguments with the `VALUE' attribute: Scalar arguments of
the type `INTEGER', `LOGICAL', `REAL' and `COMPLEX' are passed by value
according to the platform ABI.  (As vendor extension and not
recommended, using `%VAL()' in the call to a procedure has the same
effect.) For `TYPE(C_PTR)' and procedure pointers, the pointer itself
is passed such that it can be modified without affecting the caller.

   For Boolean (`LOGICAL') arguments, please note that GCC expects only
the integer value 0 and 1.  If a GNU Fortran `LOGICAL' variable
contains another integer value, the result is undefined.  As some other
Fortran compilers use -1 for `.TRUE.', extra care has to be taken -
such as passing the value as `INTEGER'.  (The same value restriction
also applies to other front ends of GCC, e.g. to GCC's C99 compiler for
`_Bool' or GCC's Ada compiler for `Boolean'.)

   For arguments of `CHARACTER' type, the character length is passed as
hidden argument.  For deferred-length strings, the value is passed by
reference, otherwise by value.  The character length has the type
`INTEGER(kind=4)'.  Note with C binding, `CHARACTER(len=1)' result
variables are returned according to the platform ABI and no hidden
length argument is used for dummy arguments; with `VALUE', those
variables are passed by value.

   For `OPTIONAL' dummy arguments, an absent argument is denoted by a
NULL pointer, except for scalar dummy arguments of type `INTEGER',
`LOGICAL', `REAL' and `COMPLEX' which have the `VALUE' attribute.  For
those, a hidden Boolean argument (`logical(kind=C_bool),value') is used
to indicate whether the argument is present.

   Arguments which are assumed-shape, assumed-rank or deferred-rank
arrays or, with `-fcoarray=lib', allocatable scalar coarrays use an
array descriptor.  All other arrays pass the address of the first
element of the array.  With `-fcoarray=lib', the token and the offset
belonging to nonallocatable coarrays dummy arguments are passed as
hidden argument along the character length hidden arguments.  The token
is an oparque pointer identifying the coarray and the offset is a
passed-by-value integer of kind `C_PTRDIFF_T', denoting the byte offset
between the base address of the coarray and the passed scalar or first
element of the passed array.

   The arguments are passed in the following order
   * Result variable, when the function result is passed by reference

   * Character length of the function result, if it is a of type
     `CHARACTER' and no C binding is used

   * The arguments in the order in which they appear in the Fortran
     declaration

   * The the present status for optional arguments with value attribute,
     which are internally passed by value

   * The character length and/or coarray token and offset for the first
     argument which is a `CHARACTER' or a nonallocatable coarray dummy
     argument, followed by the hidden arguments of the next dummy
     argument of such a type

8.1 Introduction to intrinsic procedures
========================================

The intrinsic procedures provided by GNU Fortran include all of the
intrinsic procedures required by the Fortran 95 standard, a set of
intrinsic procedures for backwards compatibility with G77, and a
selection of intrinsic procedures from the Fortran 2003 and Fortran 2008
standards.  Any conflict between a description here and a description in
either the Fortran 95 standard, the Fortran 2003 standard or the Fortran
2008 standard is unintentional, and the standard(s) should be considered
authoritative.

   The enumeration of the `KIND' type parameter is processor defined in
the Fortran 95 standard.  GNU Fortran defines the default integer type
and default real type by `INTEGER(KIND=4)' and `REAL(KIND=4)',
respectively.  The standard mandates that both data types shall have
another kind, which have more precision.  On typical target
architectures 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 type
parameter will be specified by `KIND=*', and in the description of
specific names for an intrinsic procedure the kind type parameter will
be 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 can
be used to restrict the set of intrinsic procedures to a given
standard.  By default, `gfortran' sets the `-std=gnu' option, and so
all intrinsic procedures described here are accepted.  There is one
caveat.  For a select group of intrinsic procedures, `g77' implemented
both a function and a subroutine.  Both classes have been implemented
in `gfortran' for backwards compatibility with `g77'.  It is noted here
that these functions and subroutines cannot be intermixed in a given
subprogram.  In the descriptions that follow, the applicable standard
for each intrinsic procedure is noted.

8.13 `ALL' -- All values in MASK along DIM are true
===================================================

_Description_:
     `ALL(MASK [, DIM])' determines if all the values are true in MASK
     in the array along dimension DIM.

_Standard_:
     Fortran 95 and later

_Class_:
     Transformational function

_Syntax_:
     `RESULT = ALL(MASK [, DIM])'

_Arguments_:
     MASK       The type of the argument shall be `LOGICAL' and
                it shall not be scalar.
     DIM        (Optional) DIM shall be a scalar integer with
                a value that lies between one and the rank of
                MASK.

_Return value_:
     `ALL(MASK)' returns a scalar value of type `LOGICAL' where the
     kind type parameter is the same as the kind type parameter of
     MASK.  If DIM is present, then `ALL(MASK, DIM)' returns an array
     with the rank of MASK minus 1.  The shape is determined from the
     shape of MASK where the DIM dimension is elided.

    (A)
          `ALL(MASK)' is true if all elements of MASK are true.  It
          also is true if MASK has zero size; otherwise, it is false.

    (B)
          If the rank of MASK is one, then `ALL(MASK,DIM)' is equivalent
          to `ALL(MASK)'.  If the rank is greater than one, then
          `ALL(MASK,DIM)' is determined by applying `ALL' to the array
          sections.

_Example_:
          program test_all
            logical l
            l = all((/.true., .true., .true./))
            print *, l

                a = 1
                b = 1
                b(2,2) = 2
                print *, all(a .eq. b, 1)

_Description_:
     `ALLOCATED(ARRAY)' and `ALLOCATED(SCALAR)' check the allocation
     status of ARRAY and SCALAR, respectively.

_Standard_:
     Fortran 95 and later.  Note, the `SCALAR=' keyword and allocatable
     scalar entities are available in Fortran 2003 and later.

_Class_:
     Inquiry function

_Syntax_:
     `RESULT = ALLOCATED(ARRAY)'
     `RESULT = ALLOCATED(SCALAR)'

_Arguments_:
     ARRAY      The argument shall be an `ALLOCATABLE' array.
     SCALAR     The argument shall be an `ALLOCATABLE' scalar.

_Return value_:
     The return value is a scalar `LOGICAL' with the default logical
     kind type parameter.  If the argument is allocated, then the
     result is `.TRUE.'; otherwise, it returns `.FALSE.'

_Example_:
          program test_allocated
            integer :: i = 4
            real(4), allocatable :: x(:)
            if (.not. allocated(x)) allocate(x(i))

                type or a scalar `LOGICAL' type.
     J          The type shall be the same as the type of I.

_Return value_:
     The return type is either a scalar `INTEGER' or a scalar
     `LOGICAL'.  If the kind type parameters differ, then the smaller
     kind type is implicitly converted to larger kind, and the return
     has the larger kind.

_Example_:
          PROGRAM test_and
            LOGICAL :: T = .TRUE., F = .FALSE.
            INTEGER :: a, b
            DATA a / Z'F' /, b / Z'3' /

            WRITE (*,*) AND(T, T), AND(T, F), AND(F, T), AND(F, F)

     the argument if the optional KIND is absent; otherwise, the kind
     type parameter will be given by KIND.  If A is greater than zero,
     `ANINT(A)' returns `AINT(X+0.5)'.  If A is less than or equal to
     zero then it returns `AINT(X-0.5)'.

_Example_:
          program test_anint

     kind type parameter is the same as the kind type parameter of
     MASK.  If DIM is present, then `ANY(MASK, DIM)' returns an array
     with the rank of MASK minus 1.  The shape is determined from the
     shape of MASK where the DIM dimension is elided.

    (A)
          `ANY(MASK)' is true if any element of MASK is true;
          otherwise, it is false.  It also is false if MASK has zero
          size.

    (B)
          If the rank of MASK is one, then `ANY(MASK,DIM)' is equivalent
          to `ANY(MASK)'.  If the rank is greater than one, then
          `ANY(MASK,DIM)' is determined by applying `ANY' to the array
          sections.

     `RESULT = ASSOCIATED(POINTER [, TARGET])'

_Arguments_:
     POINTER    POINTER shall have the `POINTER' attribute and
                it can be of any type.
     TARGET     (Optional) TARGET shall be a pointer or a
                target.  It must have the same type, kind type
                parameter, and array rank as POINTER.
     The association status of neither POINTER nor TARGET shall be
     undefined.

_Return value_:
     `ASSOCIATED(POINTER)' returns a scalar value of type `LOGICAL(4)'.
     There are several cases:
    (A) When the optional TARGET is not present then
          `ASSOCIATED(POINTER)' is true if POINTER is associated with a
          target; otherwise, it returns false.

    (B) If TARGET is present and a scalar target, the result is true if
          TARGET is not a zero-sized storage sequence and the target
          associated with POINTER occupies the same storage units.  If
          POINTER is disassociated, the result is false.

    (C) If TARGET is present and an array target, the result is true if
          TARGET and POINTER have the same shape, are not zero-sized
          arrays, are arrays whose elements are not zero-sized storage
          sequences, and TARGET and POINTER occupy the same storage
          units in array element order.  As in case(B), the result is
          false, if POINTER is disassociated.

    (D) If TARGET is present and an scalar pointer, the result is true
          if TARGET is associated with POINTER, the target associated
          with TARGET are not zero-sized storage sequences and occupy
          the same storage units.  The result is false, if either
          TARGET or POINTER is disassociated.

    (E) If TARGET is present and an array pointer, the result is true if
          target associated with POINTER and the target associated with
          TARGET have the same shape, are not zero-sized arrays, are
          arrays whose elements are not zero-sized storage sequences,
          and TARGET and POINTER occupy the same storage units in array
          element order.  The result is false, if either TARGET or
          POINTER is disassociated.

_Example_:
          program test_associated
             implicit none
             real, target  :: tgt(2) = (/1., 2./)
             real, pointer :: ptr(:)
             ptr => tgt
             if (associated(ptr)     .eqv. .false.) call abort
             if (associated(ptr,tgt) .eqv. .false.) call abort

_Standard_:
     Fortran 77 and later, for a complex argument and for two arguments
     Fortran 2008 or later

_Class_:
     Elemental function

_Syntax_:
     `RESULT = ATAN(X)'
     `RESULT = ATAN(Y, X)'

_Arguments_:
     X          The type shall be `REAL' or `COMPLEX'; if Y is
                present, X shall be REAL.
     Y shall    
     be of the  
     same type  
     and kind   
     as X.

8.22 `ATAN2' -- Arctangent function
===================================

_Description_:
     `ATAN2(Y, X)' computes the principal value of the argument
     function of the complex number X + i Y. This function can be used
     to transform from Cartesian into polar coordinates and allows to
     determine the angle in the correct quadrant.

_Standard_:
     Fortran 77 and later

_Class_:
     Elemental function

_Syntax_:
     `RESULT = ATAN2(Y, X)'

_Arguments_:
     Y          The type shall be `REAL'.
     X          The type and kind type parameter shall be the
                same as Y.  If Y is zero, then X must be
                nonzero.

_Return value_:
     The return value has the same type and kind type parameter as Y. It
     is the principal value of the complex number X + i Y.  If X is
     nonzero, then it lies in the range -\pi \le \atan (x) \leq \pi.
     The sign is positive if Y is positive.  If Y is zero, then the
     return value is zero if X is strictly positive, \pi if X is
     negative and Y is positive zero (or the processor does not handle
     signed zeros), and -\pi if X is negative and Y is negative zero.
     Finally, if X is zero, then the magnitude of the result is \pi/2.

_Example_:
          program test_atan2
            real(4) :: x = 1.e0_4, y = 0.5e0_4
            x = atan2(y,x)

_Return value_:
     The return value is of type integer and of the system-dependent
     kind `C_SIZE_T' (from the `ISO_C_BINDING' module). Its value is the
     number of bytes occupied by the argument.  If the argument has the
     `POINTER' attribute, the number of bytes of the storage area
     pointed to is returned.  If the argument is of a derived type with
     `POINTER' or `ALLOCATABLE' components, the return value does not
     account for the sizes of the data pointed to by these components.

     set to `-1.0'.

     Note that TIME may contain a, system dependent, arbitrary offset
     and may not start with `0.0'. For `CPU_TIME', the absolute value
     is meaningless, only differences between subsequent calls to this
     subroutine, as shown in the example below, should be used.

_Standard_:
     Fortran 95 and later

_Class_:
     Subroutine

_Syntax_:
     `CALL CPU_TIME(TIME)'

_Arguments_:
     TIME       The type shall be `REAL' with `INTENT(OUT)'.

     it is taken to be `1'.  DIM is a scalar of type `INTEGER' in the
     range of 1 \leq DIM \leq n) where n is the rank of ARRAY.  If the
     rank of ARRAY is one, then all elements of ARRAY are shifted by
     SHIFT places.  If rank is greater than one, then all complete rank
     one sections of ARRAY along the given dimension are shifted.
     Elements shifted out one end of each rank one section are shifted
     back in the other end.

8.71 `DTIME' -- Execution time subroutine (or function)
=======================================================

_Description_:
     `DTIME(VALUES, TIME)' initially returns the number of seconds of
     runtime since the start of the process's execution in TIME.  VALUES
     returns the user and system components of this time in `VALUES(1)'
     and `VALUES(2)' respectively. TIME is equal to `VALUES(1) +
     VALUES(2)'.

     Subsequent invocations of `DTIME' return values accumulated since
     the previous invocation.

     On some systems, the underlying timings are represented using
     types with sufficiently small limits that overflows (wrap around)
     are possible, such as 32-bit types. Therefore, the values returned
     by this intrinsic might be, or become, negative, or numerically
     less than previous values, during a single run of the compiled
     program.

     Please note, that this implementation is thread safe if used
     within OpenMP directives, i.e., its state will be consistent while
     called from multiple threads. However, if `DTIME' is called from
     multiple threads, the result is still the time since the last
     invocation. This may not give the intended results. If possible,
     use `CPU_TIME' instead.

     This intrinsic is provided in both subroutine and function forms;
     however, only one form can be used in any given program unit.

     VALUES and TIME are `INTENT(OUT)' and provide the following:

                `VALUES(1)':         User time in seconds.
                `VALUES(2)':         System time in seconds.
                `TIME':              Run time since start in
                                     seconds.

_Standard_:
     GNU extension

_Class_:
     Subroutine, function

_Syntax_:
     `CALL DTIME(VALUES, TIME)'.
     `TIME = DTIME(VALUES)', (not recommended).

_Arguments_:
     VALUES     The type shall be `REAL(4), DIMENSION(2)'.
     TIME       The type shall be `REAL(4)'.

_Return value_:
     Elapsed time in seconds since the last invocation or since the
     start of program execution if not called before.

_Example_:
          program test_dtime
              integer(8) :: i, j
              real, dimension(2) :: tarray
              real :: result
              call dtime(tarray, result)
              print *, result

8.72 `EOSHIFT' -- End-off shift elements of an array
====================================================

_Description_:
     `EOSHIFT(ARRAY, SHIFT[, BOUNDARY, DIM])' performs an end-off shift

     in the range of 1 \leq DIM \leq n) where n is the rank of ARRAY.
     If the rank of ARRAY is one, then all elements of ARRAY are
     shifted by SHIFT places.  If rank is greater than one, then all
     complete rank one sections of ARRAY along the given dimension are
     shifted.  Elements shifted out one end of each rank one section
     are dropped.  If BOUNDARY is present then the corresponding value
     of from BOUNDARY is copied back in the other end.  If BOUNDARY is
     not present then the following are copied in depending on the type
     of ARRAY.

     _Array     _Boundary Value_

File: gfortran.info,  Node: EXECUTE_COMMAND_LINE,  Next: EXIT,  Prev: ETIME,  Up: Intrinsic Procedures

8.78 `EXECUTE_COMMAND_LINE' -- Execute a shell command
======================================================

_Description_:
     `EXECUTE_COMMAND_LINE' runs a shell command, synchronously or
     asynchronously.

     The `COMMAND' argument is passed to the shell and executed, using
     the C library's `system' call.  (The shell is `sh' on Unix
     systems, and `cmd.exe' on Windows.)  If `WAIT' is present and has
     the value false, the execution of the command is asynchronous if
     the system supports it; otherwise, the command is executed
     synchronously.

     The three last arguments allow the user to get status information.
     After synchronous execution, `EXITSTAT' contains the integer exit
     code of the command, as returned by `system'.  `CMDSTAT' is set to
     zero if the command line was executed (whatever its exit status
     was).  `CMDMSG' is assigned an error message if an error has
     occurred.

     Note that the `system' function need not be thread-safe. It is the
     responsibility of the user to ensure that `system' is not called
     concurrently.

_Standard_:
     Fortran 2008 and later

_Class_:
     Subroutine

_Syntax_:
     `CALL EXECUTE_COMMAND_LINE(COMMAND [, WAIT, EXITSTAT, CMDSTAT,
     CMDMSG ])'

_Arguments_:
     COMMAND    Shall be a default `CHARACTER' scalar.
     WAIT       (Optional) Shall be a default `LOGICAL' scalar.
     EXITSTAT   (Optional) Shall be an `INTEGER' of the
                default kind.
     CMDSTAT    (Optional) Shall be an `INTEGER' of the
                default kind.
     CMDMSG     (Optional) Shall be an `CHARACTER' scalar of
                the default kind.

_Example_:
          program test_exec
            integer :: i

            call execute_command_line ("external_prog.exe", exitstat=i)
            print *, "Exit status of external_prog.exe was ", i

            call execute_command_line ("reindex_files.exe", wait=.false.)
            print *, "Now reindexing files in the background"

          end program test_exec

_Note_:
     Because this intrinsic is implemented in terms of the `system'
     function call, its behavior with respect to signaling is processor
     dependent. In particular, on POSIX-compliant systems, the SIGINT
     and SIGQUIT signals will be ignored, and the SIGCHLD will be
     blocked. As such, if the parent process is terminated, the child
     process might not be terminated alongside.

8.84 `FGET' -- Read a single character in stream mode from stdin
================================================================

_Description_:
     Read a single character in stream mode from stdin by bypassing
     normal formatted output. Stream I/O should not be mixed with
     normal record-oriented (formatted or unformatted) I/O on the same
     unit; the results are unpredictable.

     This intrinsic is provided in both subroutine and function forms;
     however, only one form can be used in any given program unit.

     Note that the `FGET' intrinsic is provided for backwards
     compatibility with `g77'.  GNU Fortran provides the Fortran 2003
     Stream facility.  Programmers should consider the use of new
     stream IO feature in new code for future portability. See also
     *Note Fortran 2003 status::.

_Standard_:

8.86 `FLOOR' -- Integer floor function
======================================

_Description_:
     `FLOOR(A)' returns the greatest integer less than or equal to X.

_Standard_:
     Fortran 95 and later

_Class_:
     Elemental function

_Syntax_:
     `RESULT = FLOOR(A [, KIND])'

_Arguments_:
     A          The type shall be `REAL'.
     KIND       (Optional) An `INTEGER' initialization
                expression indicating the kind parameter of

8.87 `FLUSH' -- Flush I/O unit(s)
=================================

_Description_:
     Flushes Fortran unit(s) currently open for output. Without the
     optional argument, all units are flushed, otherwise just the unit
     specified.

_Standard_:
     GNU extension

_Class_:
     Subroutine

_Syntax_:
     `CALL FLUSH(UNIT)'

_Arguments_:
     UNIT       (Optional) The type shall be `INTEGER'.

_Note_:
     Beginning with the Fortran 2003 standard, there is a `FLUSH'
     statement that should be preferred over the `FLUSH' intrinsic.

     The `FLUSH' intrinsic and the Fortran 2003 `FLUSH' statement have
     identical effect: they flush the runtime library's I/O buffer so
     that the data becomes visible to other processes. This does not
     guarantee that the data is committed to disk.

     On POSIX systems, you can request that all data is transferred  to
     the storage device by calling the `fsync' function, with the
     POSIX file descriptor of the I/O unit as argument (retrieved with
     GNU intrinsic `FNUM'). The following example shows how:

            ! Declare the interface for POSIX fsync function
            interface
              function fsync (fd) bind(c,name="fsync")
              use iso_c_binding, only: c_int
                integer(c_int), value :: fd
                integer(c_int) :: fsync
              end function fsync
            end interface

            ! Variable declaration
            integer :: ret

            ! Opening unit 10
            open (10,file="foo")

            ! ...
            ! Perform I/O on unit 10
            ! ...

            ! Flush and sync
            flush(10)
            ret = fsync(fnum(10))

            ! Handle possible error
            if (ret /= 0) stop "Error calling FSYNC"

     and is provided in GNU Fortran to allow user to compile legacy
     code. For new code using Fortran 95 pointers, the memory
     de-allocation intrinsic is `DEALLOCATE'.

_Standard_:
     GNU extension

_Class_:
     Subroutine

_Syntax_:
     `CALL FREE(PTR)'

_Arguments_:
     PTR        The type shall be `INTEGER'. It represents the
                location of the memory that should be
                de-allocated.

_Return value_:
     None

_Example_:
     See `MALLOC' for an example.

8.93 `FSEEK' -- Low level file positioning subroutine
=====================================================

_Description_:
     Moves UNIT to the specified OFFSET. If WHENCE is set to 0, the
     OFFSET is taken as an absolute value `SEEK_SET', if set to 1,
     OFFSET is taken to be relative to the current position `SEEK_CUR',
     and if set to 2 relative to the end of the file `SEEK_END'.  On
     error, STATUS is set to a nonzero value. If STATUS the seek fails
     silently.

     This intrinsic routine is not fully backwards compatible with
     `g77'.  In `g77', the `FSEEK' takes a statement label instead of a
     STATUS variable. If FSEEK is used in old code, change
            CALL FSEEK(UNIT, OFFSET, WHENCE, *label)
     to
            INTEGER :: status
            CALL FSEEK(UNIT, OFFSET, WHENCE, status)
            IF (status /= 0) GOTO label

     Please note that GNU Fortran provides the Fortran 2003 Stream
     facility.  Programmers should consider the use of new stream IO
     feature in new code for future portability. See also *Note Fortran
     2003 status::.

_Standard_:
     GNU extension

_Class_:
     Subroutine

_Syntax_:

_Arguments_:
     UNIT       Shall be a scalar of type `INTEGER'.
     OFFSET     Shall be a scalar of type `INTEGER'.
     WHENCE     Shall be a scalar of type `INTEGER'.  Its
                value shall be either 0, 1 or 2.
     STATUS     (Optional) shall be a scalar of type
                `INTEGER(4)'.

_Example_:
          PROGRAM test_fseek
            INTEGER, PARAMETER :: SEEK_SET = 0, SEEK_CUR = 1, SEEK_END = 2
            INTEGER :: fd, offset, ierr

            ierr   = 0
            offset = 5
            fd     = 10

            OPEN(UNIT=fd, FILE="fseek.test")

8.98 `GETARG' -- Get command line arguments
===========================================

_Description_:
     Retrieve the POS-th argument that was passed on the command line
     when the containing program was invoked.

     This intrinsic routine is provided for backwards compatibility with
     GNU Fortran 77.  In new code, programmers should consider the use
     of the *Note GET_COMMAND_ARGUMENT:: intrinsic defined by the
     Fortran 2003 standard.

_Standard_:
     GNU extension

_Class_:
     Subroutine

_Syntax_:
     `CALL GETARG(POS, VALUE)'

_Arguments_:
     POS        Shall be of type `INTEGER' and not wider than
                the default integer kind; POS \geq 0
     VALUE      Shall be of type `CHARACTER' and of default
                kind.
     VALUE      Shall be of type `CHARACTER'.

_Return value_:
     After `GETARG' returns, the VALUE argument holds the POSth command
     line argument. If VALUE can not hold the argument, it is truncated
     to fit the length of VALUE. If there are less than POS arguments
     specified at the command line, VALUE will be filled with blanks.
     If POS = 0, VALUE is set to the name of the program (on systems
     that support this feature).

_Example_:
          PROGRAM test_getarg
            INTEGER :: i
            CHARACTER(len=32) :: arg

            DO i = 1, iargc()

8.99 `GET_COMMAND' -- Get the entire command line
=================================================

_Description_:
     Retrieve the entire command line that was used to invoke the
     program.

_Standard_:
     Fortran 2003 and later

_Class_:
     Subroutine

_Syntax_:
     `CALL GET_COMMAND([COMMAND, LENGTH, STATUS])'

_Arguments_:
     COMMAND    (Optional) shall be of type `CHARACTER' and of
                default kind.
     LENGTH     (Optional) Shall be of type `INTEGER' and of
                default kind.
     STATUS     (Optional) Shall be of type `INTEGER' and of
                default kind.

_Return value_:
     If COMMAND is present, stores the entire command line that was used
     to invoke the program in COMMAND. If LENGTH is present, it is
     assigned the length of the command line. If STATUS is present, it
     is assigned 0 upon success of the command, -1 if COMMAND is too
     short to store the command line, or a positive value in case of an
     error.

_Example_:
          PROGRAM test_get_command
            CHARACTER(len=255) :: cmd

8.100 `GET_COMMAND_ARGUMENT' -- Get command line arguments
==========================================================

_Description_:
     Retrieve the NUMBER-th argument that was passed on the command
     line when the containing program was invoked.

_Standard_:
     Fortran 2003 and later

_Class_:
     Subroutine

_Syntax_:
     `CALL GET_COMMAND_ARGUMENT(NUMBER [, VALUE, LENGTH, STATUS])'

_Arguments_:
     NUMBER     Shall be a scalar of type `INTEGER' and of
                default kind, NUMBER \geq 0
     VALUE      (Optional) Shall be a scalar of type
                `CHARACTER' and of default kind.
     LENGTH     (Optional) Shall be a scalar of type `INTEGER'
                and of default kind.
     STATUS     (Optional) Shall be a scalar of type `INTEGER'
                and of default kind.

_Return value_:
     After `GET_COMMAND_ARGUMENT' returns, the VALUE argument holds the
     NUMBER-th command line argument. If VALUE can not hold the
     argument, it is truncated to fit the length of VALUE. If there are
     less than NUMBER arguments specified at the command line, VALUE
     will be filled with blanks.  If NUMBER = 0, VALUE is set to the
     name of the program (on systems that support this feature). The
     LENGTH argument contains the length of the NUMBER-th command line
     argument. If the argument retrieval fails, STATUS is a positive
     number; if VALUE contains a truncated command line argument,
     STATUS is -1; and otherwise the STATUS is zero.

_Example_:
          PROGRAM test_get_command_argument
            INTEGER :: i
            CHARACTER(len=32) :: arg

            i = 0

===============================================

_Description_:
     Get the VALUE of the environmental variable NAME.

     This intrinsic routine is provided for backwards compatibility with
     GNU Fortran 77.  In new code, programmers should consider the use
     of the *Note GET_ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE:: intrinsic defined by the
     Fortran 2003 standard.

     Note that `GETENV' need not be thread-safe. It is the
     responsibility of the user to ensure that the environment is not
     being updated concurrently with a call to the `GETENV' intrinsic.

_Standard_:

_Class_:
     Subroutine

_Syntax_:
     `CALL GET_ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE(NAME[, VALUE, LENGTH, STATUS,

     TRIM_NAME  (Optional) Shall be a scalar of type `LOGICAL'
                and of default kind.

_Return value_:
     Stores the value of NAME in VALUE. If VALUE is not large enough to
     hold the data, it is truncated. If NAME is not set, VALUE will be
     filled with blanks. Argument LENGTH contains the length needed for
     storing the environment variable NAME or zero if it is not
     present. STATUS is -1 if VALUE is present but too short for the
     environment variable; it is 1 if the environment variable does not
     exist and 2 if the processor does not support environment
     variables; in all other cases STATUS is zero. If TRIM_NAME is
     present with the value `.FALSE.', the trailing blanks in NAME are
     significant; otherwise they are not part of the environment
     variable name.

_Example_:

     used as a new seed with `SRAND'.

     This intrinsic routine is provided for backwards compatibility with
     GNU Fortran 77. It implements a simple modulo generator as provided
     by `g77'. For new code, one should consider the use of *Note

8.135 `ISHFT' -- Shift bits
===========================

_Description_:
     `ISHFT' returns a value corresponding to I with all of the bits
     shifted SHIFT places.  A value of SHIFT greater than zero
     corresponds to a left shift, a value of zero corresponds to no
     shift, and a value less than zero corresponds to a right shift.
     If the absolute value of SHIFT is greater than `BIT_SIZE(I)', the
     value is undefined.  Bits shifted out from the left end or right
     end are lost; zeros are shifted in from the opposite end.

_Standard_:

     SIZE bits shifted circularly SHIFT places; that is, bits shifted
     out one end are shifted into the opposite end.  A value of SHIFT
     greater than zero corresponds to a left shift, a value of zero
     corresponds to no shift, and a value less than zero corresponds to
     a right shift.  The absolute value of SHIFT must be less than
     SIZE.  If the SIZE argument is omitted, it is taken to be
     equivalent to `BIT_SIZE(I)'.

_Standard_:
     Fortran 95 and later

_Class_:
     Elemental function

8.146 `LGE' -- Lexical greater than or equal
============================================

_Description_:
     Determines whether one string is lexically greater than or equal to
     another string, where the two strings are interpreted as containing
     ASCII character codes.  If the String A and String B are not the
     same length, the shorter is compared as if spaces were appended to
     it to form a value that has the same length as the longer.

     In general, the lexical comparison intrinsics `LGE', `LGT', `LLE',
     and `LLT' differ from the corresponding intrinsic operators
     `.GE.', `.GT.', `.LE.', and `.LT.', in that the latter use the
     processor's character ordering (which is not ASCII on some
     targets), whereas the former always use the ASCII ordering.

     string, where the two strings are interpreted as containing ASCII
     character codes.  If the String A and String B are not the same
     length, the shorter is compared as if spaces were appended to it
     to form a value that has the same length as the longer.

     In general, the lexical comparison intrinsics `LGE', `LGT', `LLE',
     and `LLT' differ from the corresponding intrinsic operators
     `.GE.', `.GT.', `.LE.', and `.LT.', in that the latter use the
     processor's character ordering (which is not ASCII on some
     targets), whereas the former always use the ASCII ordering.

_Standard_:

8.167 `MAXLOC' -- Location of the maximum value within an array
===============================================================

_Description_:
     Determines the location of the element in the array with the
     maximum value, or, if the DIM argument is supplied, determines the
     locations of the maximum element along each row of the array in the
     DIM direction.  If MASK is present, only the elements for which
     MASK is `.TRUE.' are considered.  If more than one element in the
     array has the maximum value, the location returned is that of the
     first such element in array element order.  If the array has zero
     size, or all of the elements of MASK are `.FALSE.', then the
     result is an array of zeroes.  Similarly, if DIM is supplied and
     all of the elements of MASK along a given row are zero, the result
     value for that row is zero.

_Standard_:
     Fortran 95 and later

_Class_:
     Transformational function

_Syntax_:
     `RESULT = MAXLOC(ARRAY, DIM [, MASK])'
     `RESULT = MAXLOC(ARRAY [, MASK])'

_Arguments_:
     ARRAY      Shall be an array of type `INTEGER' or `REAL'.
     DIM        (Optional) Shall be a scalar of type
                `INTEGER', with a value between one and the
                rank of ARRAY, inclusive.  It may not be an
                optional dummy argument.
     MASK       Shall be an array of type `LOGICAL', and
                conformable with ARRAY.

_Return value_:
     If DIM is absent, the result is a rank-one array with a length
     equal to the rank of ARRAY.  If DIM is present, the result is an
     array with a rank one less than the rank of ARRAY, and a size
     corresponding to the size of ARRAY with the DIM dimension removed.
     If DIM is present and ARRAY has a rank of one, the result is a
     scalar.  In all cases, the result is of default `INTEGER' type.

===========================================

_Description_:
     Determines the maximum value of the elements in an array value,
     or, if the DIM argument is supplied, determines the maximum value
     along each row of the array in the DIM direction.  If MASK is
     present, only the elements for which MASK is `.TRUE.' are
     considered.  If the array has zero size, or all of the elements of
     MASK are `.FALSE.', then the result is `-HUGE(ARRAY)' if ARRAY is
     numeric, or a string of nulls if ARRAY is of character type.

_Standard_:

_Class_:
     Transformational function

_Syntax_:

                optional dummy argument.
     MASK       Shall be an array of type `LOGICAL', and
                conformable with ARRAY.

_Return value_:
     If DIM is absent, or if ARRAY has a rank of one, the result is a
     scalar.  If DIM is present, the result is an array with a rank one

8.169 `MCLOCK' -- Time function
===============================

_Description_:
     Returns the number of clock ticks since the start of the process,
     based on the function `clock(3)' in the C standard library.

     This intrinsic is not fully portable, such as to systems with
     32-bit `INTEGER' types but supporting times wider than 32 bits.
     Therefore, the values returned by this intrinsic might be, or
     become, negative, or numerically less than previous values, during
     a single run of the compiled program.

_Standard_:
     GNU extension

_Class_:
     Function

_Syntax_:
     `RESULT = MCLOCK()'

_Return value_:
     The return value is a scalar of type `INTEGER(4)', equal to the
     number of clock ticks since the start of the process, or `-1' if
     the system does not support `clock(3)'.

8.170 `MCLOCK8' -- Time function (64-bit)
=========================================

_Description_:
     Returns the number of clock ticks since the start of the process,
     based on the function `clock(3)' in the C standard library.

     _Warning:_ this intrinsic does not increase the range of the timing
     values over that returned by `clock(3)'. On a system with a 32-bit
     `clock(3)', `MCLOCK8' will return a 32-bit value, even though it
     is converted to a 64-bit `INTEGER(8)' value. That means overflows
     of the 32-bit value can still occur. Therefore, the values
     returned by this intrinsic might be or become negative or
     numerically less than previous values during a single run of the
     compiled program.

_Standard_:
     GNU extension

_Class_:
     Function

_Syntax_:
     `RESULT = MCLOCK8()'

_Return value_:
     The return value is a scalar of type `INTEGER(8)', equal to the

8.200 `RANDOM_NUMBER' -- Pseudo-random number
=============================================

_Description_:
     Returns a single pseudorandom number or an array of pseudorandom
     numbers from the uniform distribution over the range  0 \leq x < 1.

     The runtime-library implements George Marsaglia's KISS (Keep It
     Simple Stupid) random number generator (RNG). This RNG combines:
       1. The congruential generator x(n) = 69069 \cdot x(n-1) +
          1327217885 with a period of 2^32,

       2. A 3-shift shift-register generator with a period of 2^32 - 1,

       3. Two 16-bit multiply-with-carry generators with a period of
          597273182964842497 > 2^59.
          The overall period exceeds 2^123.

     Please note, this RNG is thread safe if used within OpenMP
     directives, i.e., its state will be consistent while called from
     multiple threads.  However, the KISS generator does not create
     random numbers in parallel from multiple sources, but in sequence
     from a single source. If an OpenMP-enabled application heavily
     relies on random numbers, one should consider employing a
     dedicated parallel random number generator instead.

_Standard_:
     Fortran 95 and later

_Class_:
     Subroutine

_Syntax_:
     `RANDOM_NUMBER(HARVEST)'

_Arguments_:
     HARVEST    Shall be a scalar or an array of type `REAL'.

_Example_:
          program test_random_number
            REAL :: r(5,5)
            CALL init_random_seed()         ! see example of RANDOM_SEED

8.201 `RANDOM_SEED' -- Initialize a pseudo-random number sequence
=================================================================

_Description_:
     Restarts or queries the state of the pseudorandom number generator
     used by `RANDOM_NUMBER'.

     If `RANDOM_SEED' is called without arguments, it is initialized to
     a default state. The example below shows how to initialize the
     random seed with a varying seed in order to ensure a different
     random number sequence for each invocation of the program. Note
     that setting any of the seed values to zero should be avoided as
     it can result in poor quality random numbers being generated.

_Standard_:
     Fortran 95 and later

_Class_:
     Subroutine

_Syntax_:
     `CALL RANDOM_SEED([SIZE, PUT, GET])'

_Arguments_:
     SIZE       (Optional) Shall be a scalar and of type
                default `INTEGER', with `INTENT(OUT)'. It
                specifies the minimum size of the arrays used
                with the PUT and GET arguments.
     PUT        (Optional) Shall be an array of type default
                `INTEGER' and rank one. It is `INTENT(IN)' and
                the size of the array must be larger than or
                equal to the number returned by the SIZE
                argument.
     GET        (Optional) Shall be an array of type default
                `INTEGER' and rank one. It is `INTENT(OUT)'
                and the size of the array must be larger than
                or equal to the number returned by the SIZE
                argument.

===================================================

_Description_:
     `SELECTED_CHAR_KIND(NAME)' returns the kind value for the character
     set named NAME, if a character set with such a name is supported,
     or -1 otherwise. Currently, supported character sets include
     "ASCII" and "DEFAULT", which are equivalent, and "ISO_10646"
     (Universal Character Set, UCS-4) which is commonly known as
     Unicode.

_Standard_:
     Fortran 2003 and later

8.217 `SELECTED_REAL_KIND' -- Choose real kind
==============================================

_Description_:
     `SELECTED_REAL_KIND(P,R)' returns the kind value of a real data
     type with decimal precision of at least `P' digits, exponent range
     of at least `R', and with a radix of `RADIX'.

_Standard_:
     Fortran 95 and later, with `RADIX' Fortran 2008 or later

_Class_:
     Transformational function

_Syntax_:
     `RESULT = SELECTED_REAL_KIND([P, R, RADIX])'

_Arguments_:
     P          (Optional) shall be a scalar and of type
                `INTEGER'.
     R          (Optional) shall be a scalar and of type
                `INTEGER'.
     RADIX      (Optional) shall be a scalar and of type
                `INTEGER'.
     Before Fortran 2008, at least one of the arguments R or P shall be
     present; since Fortran 2008, they are assumed to be zero if absent.

_Return value_:
     `SELECTED_REAL_KIND' returns the value of the kind type parameter
     of a real data type with decimal precision of at least `P' digits,
     a decimal exponent range of at least `R', and with the requested
     `RADIX'. If the `RADIX' parameter is absent, real kinds with any
     radix can be returned. If more than one real data type meet the
     criteria, the kind of the data type with the smallest decimal
     precision is returned. If no real data type matches the criteria,
     the result is
    -1 if the processor does not support a real data type with a
          precision greater than or equal to `P', but the `R' and
          `RADIX' requirements can be fulfilled

    -2 if the processor does not support a real type with an exponent
          range greater than or equal to `R', but `P' and `RADIX' are
          fulfillable

    -3 if `RADIX' but not `P' and `R' requirements
          are fulfillable

    -4 if `RADIX' and either `P' or `R' requirements
          are fulfillable

    -5 if there is no real type with the given `RADIX'

_Syntax_:
     `N = SIZEOF(X)'

_Arguments_:
     X          The argument shall be of any type, rank or
                shape.

_Return value_:
     The return value is of type integer and of the system-dependent
     kind C_SIZE_T (from the ISO_C_BINDING module). Its value is the
     number of bytes occupied by the argument.  If the argument has the
     `POINTER' attribute, the number of bytes of the storage area
     pointed to is returned.  If the argument is of a derived type with
     `POINTER' or `ALLOCATABLE' components, the return value does not
     account for the sizes of the data pointed to by these components.
     If the argument is polymorphic, the size according to the declared
     type is returned. The argument may not be a procedure or procedure
     pointer.

_Example_:
             integer :: i
             real :: r, s(5)
             print *, (sizeof(s)/sizeof(r) == 5)
             end

_Description_:
     Makes a symbolic link from file PATH1 to PATH2. A null character
     (`CHAR(0)') can be used to mark the end of the names in PATH1 and
     PATH2; otherwise, trailing blanks in the file names are ignored.
     If the STATUS argument is supplied, it contains 0 on success or a
     nonzero error code upon return; see `symlink(2)'.  If the system
     does not supply `symlink(2)', `ENOSYS' is returned.

     This intrinsic is provided in both subroutine and function forms;
     however, only one form can be used in any given program unit.

_Standard_:
     GNU extension

_Class_:

8.238 `SYSTEM' -- Execute a shell command
=========================================

_Description_:
     Passes the command COMMAND to a shell (see `system(3)'). If
     argument STATUS is present, it contains the value returned by
     `system(3)', which is presumably 0 if the shell command succeeded.
     Note that which shell is used to invoke the command is
     system-dependent and environment-dependent.

     This intrinsic is provided in both subroutine and function forms;
     however, only one form can be used in any given program unit.

     Note that the `system' function need not be thread-safe. It is the
     responsibility of the user to ensure that `system' is not called
     concurrently.

_Standard_:
     GNU extension

_Class_:
     Subroutine, function

_Syntax_:
     `CALL SYSTEM(COMMAND [, STATUS])'
     `STATUS = SYSTEM(COMMAND)'

_Arguments_:

File: gfortran.info,  Node: SYSTEM_CLOCK,  Next: TAN,  Prev: SYSTEM,  Up: Intrinsic Procedures

8.239 `SYSTEM_CLOCK' -- Time function
=====================================

_Description_:
     Determines the COUNT of a processor clock since an unspecified
     time in the past modulo COUNT_MAX, COUNT_RATE determines the
     number of clock ticks per second.  If the platform supports a
     monotonic clock, that clock is used and can, depending on the
     platform clock implementation, provide up to nanosecond
     resolution.  If a monotonic clock is not available, the
     implementation falls back to a realtime clock.

     COUNT_RATE is system dependent and can vary depending on the kind
     of the arguments. For KIND=4 arguments, COUNT represents
     milliseconds, while for KIND=8 arguments, COUNT typically
     represents micro- or nanoseconds depending on resolution of the
     underlying platform clock. COUNT_MAX usually equals
     `HUGE(COUNT_MAX)'. Note that the millisecond resolution of the
     KIND=4 version implies that the COUNT will wrap around in roughly
     25 days. In order to avoid issues with the wrap around and for
     more precise timing, please use the KIND=8 version.

     If there is no clock, or querying the clock fails, COUNT is set to
     `-HUGE(COUNT)', and COUNT_RATE and COUNT_MAX are set to zero.

     When running on a platform using the GNU C library (glibc) version
     2.16 or older, or a derivative thereof, the high resolution
     monotonic clock is available only when linking with the RT
     library.  This can be done explicitly by adding the `-lrt' flag
     when linking the application, but is also done implicitly when
     using OpenMP.

     On the Windows platform, the version with KIND=4 arguments uses
     the `GetTickCount' function, whereas the KIND=8 version uses
     `QueryPerformanceCounter' and `QueryPerformanceCounterFrequency'.
     For more information, and potential caveats, please see the
     platform documentation.

_Standard_:
     Fortran 95 and later

_Class_:
     Subroutine

_Syntax_:
     `CALL SYSTEM_CLOCK([COUNT, COUNT_RATE, COUNT_MAX])'

_Arguments_:
     COUNT      (Optional) shall be a scalar of type `INTEGER'
                with `INTENT(OUT)'.
     COUNT_RATE (Optional) shall be a scalar of type `INTEGER'
                with `INTENT(OUT)'.
     COUNT_MAX  (Optional) shall be a scalar of type `INTEGER'
                with `INTENT(OUT)'.

_Example_:
          PROGRAM test_system_clock
            INTEGER :: count, count_rate, count_max
            CALL SYSTEM_CLOCK(count, count_rate, count_max)

     DIM        default integer scalar (optional). If present,
                DIM shall be between one and the corank of
                COARRAY.

_Return value_:

     suitable for passing to `CTIME', `GMTIME', and `LTIME'.

     _Warning:_ this intrinsic does not increase the range of the timing
     values over that returned by `time(3)'. On a system with a 32-bit
     `time(3)', `TIME8' will return a 32-bit value, even though it is
     converted to a 64-bit `INTEGER(8)' value. That means overflows of
     the 32-bit value can still occur. Therefore, the values returned
     by this intrinsic might be or become negative or numerically less
     than previous values during a single run of the compiled program.

_Standard_:
     GNU extension

_Class_:
     Function

_Syntax_:
     `RESULT = TIME8()'

_Return value_:
     The return value is a scalar of type `INTEGER(8)'.

=======================================================

_Description_:
     `TINY(X)' returns the smallest positive (non zero) number in the
     model of the type of `X'.

_Standard_:

_Class_:
     Inquiry function

_Syntax_:
     `RESULT = TINY(X)'

_Arguments_:
     X          Shall be of type `REAL'.

8.246 `TRAILZ' -- Number of trailing zero bits of an integer
============================================================

_Description_:
     `TRAILZ' returns the number of trailing zero bits of an integer.

_Standard_:
     Fortran 2008 and later

_Class_:
     Elemental function

_Syntax_:
     `RESULT = TRAILZ(I)'

_Arguments_:
     I          Shall be of type `INTEGER'.

_Return value_:
     The type of the return value is the default `INTEGER'.  If all the
     bits of `I' are zero, the result value is `BIT_SIZE(I)'.

_Example_:
          PROGRAM test_trailz
            WRITE (*,*) TRAILZ(8)  ! prints 3
          END PROGRAM

8.247 `TRANSFER' -- Transfer bit patterns
=========================================

_Description_:
     Interprets the bitwise representation of SOURCE in memory as if it
     is the representation of a variable or array of the same type and
     type parameters as MOLD.

     This is approximately equivalent to the C concept of _casting_ one
     type to another.

_Standard_:
     Fortran 95 and later

_Class_:
     Transformational function

_Syntax_:
     `RESULT = TRANSFER(SOURCE, MOLD[, SIZE])'

_Arguments_:
     SOURCE     Shall be a scalar or an array of any type.
     MOLD       Shall be a scalar or an array of any type.
     SIZE       (Optional) shall be a scalar of type `INTEGER'.

_Return value_:
     The result has the same type as MOLD, with the bit level
     representation of SOURCE.  If SIZE is present, the result is a
     one-dimensional array of length SIZE.  If SIZE is absent but MOLD
     is an array (of any size or shape), the result is a one-
     dimensional array of the minimum length needed to contain the
     entirety of the bitwise representation of SOURCE.   If SIZE is
     absent and MOLD is a scalar, the result is a scalar.

     If the bitwise representation of the result is longer than that of
     SOURCE, then the leading bits of the result correspond to those of
     SOURCE and any trailing bits are filled arbitrarily.

     When the resulting bit representation does not correspond to a
     valid representation of a variable of the same type as MOLD, the
     results are undefined, and subsequent operations on the result
     cannot be guaranteed to produce sensible behavior.  For example,
     it is possible to create `LOGICAL' variables for which `VAR' and
     `.NOT.VAR' both appear to be true.

_Example_:
          PROGRAM test_transfer
            integer :: x = 2143289344
            print *, transfer(x, 1.0)    ! prints "NaN" on i686

     Transformational function

_Syntax_:
     `RESULT = TRANSPOSE(MATRIX)'

_Arguments_:
     MATRIX     Shall be an array of any type and have a rank
                of two.

          PROGRAM test_trim
            CHARACTER(len=10), PARAMETER :: s = "GFORTRAN  "
            WRITE(*,*) LEN(s), LEN(TRIM(s))  ! "10 8", with/without trailing blanks

     DIM is present, the result is a scalar corresponding to the upper
     bound of the array along that dimension.  If ARRAY is an
     expression rather than a whole array or array structure component,
     or if it has a zero extent along the relevant dimension, the upper

_Description_:
     Bitwise logical exclusive or.

     This intrinsic routine is provided for backwards compatibility with
     GNU Fortran 77.  For integer arguments, programmers should consider
     the use of the *Note IEOR:: intrinsic and for logical arguments the
     `.NEQV.' operator, which are both defined by the Fortran standard.

_Standard_:

                type or a scalar `LOGICAL' type.
     J          The type shall be the same as the type of I.

_Return value_:
     The return type is either a scalar `INTEGER' or a scalar
     `LOGICAL'.  If the kind type parameters differ, then the smaller
     kind type is implicitly converted to larger kind, and the return
     has the larger kind.

_Example_:
          PROGRAM test_xor
            LOGICAL :: T = .TRUE., F = .FALSE.
            INTEGER :: a, b
            DATA a / Z'F' /, b / Z'3' /

================================================

_Standard_:
     OpenMP Application Program Interface v4.0

   The OpenMP Fortran runtime library routines are provided both in a
form of two Fortran 90 modules, named `OMP_LIB' and `OMP_LIB_KINDS',
and in a form of a Fortran `include' file named `omp_lib.h'. The
procedures provided by `OMP_LIB' can be found in the *Note
Introduction: (libgomp)Top. manual, the named constants defined in the
modules are listed below.

   For details refer to the actual OpenMP Application Program Interface
v4.0 (http://www.openmp.org/mp-documents/OpenMP4.0.0.pdf).

   `OMP_LIB_KINDS' provides the following scalar default-integer named
constants:

`omp_lock_kind'

`omp_nest_lock_kind'

`omp_proc_bind_kind'

`omp_sched_kind'

   `OMP_LIB' provides the scalar default-integer named constant
`openmp_version' with a value of the form YYYYMM, where `yyyy' is the

Contributing
************

Free software is only possible if people contribute to efforts to
create it.  We're always in need of more people helping out with ideas
and comments, writing documentation and contributing code.

   If you want to contribute to GNU Fortran, have a look at the long
lists of projects you can take on.  Some of these projects are small,
some of them are large; some are completely orthogonal to the rest of
what is happening on GNU Fortran, but others are "mainstream" projects
in need of enthusiastic hackers.  All of these projects are important!
We will eventually get around to the things here, but they are also
things doable by someone who is willing and able.

Projects
========

_Help build the test suite_
     Solicit more code for donation to the test suite: the more
     extensive the testsuite, the smaller the risk of breaking things
     in the future! We can keep code private on request.

_Bug hunting/squishing_
     Find bugs and write more test cases! Test cases are especially very
     welcome, because it allows us to concentrate on fixing bugs
     instead of isolating them.  Going through the bugzilla database at
     `http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/' to reduce testcases posted there and
     add more information (for example, for which version does the
     testcase work, for which versions does it fail?) is also very
     helpful.

Proposed Extensions
===================

Here's a list of proposed extensions for the GNU Fortran compiler, in
no particular order.  Most of these are necessary to be fully
compatible with existing Fortran compilers, but they are not part of
the official J3 Fortran 95 standard.

Compiler extensions:
--------------------

   * User-specified alignment rules for structures.

   * Automatically extend single precision constants to double.

   * Compile code that conserves memory by dynamically allocating
     common and module storage either on stack or heap.

   * Compile flag to generate code for array conformance checking
     (suggest -CC).

   * User control of symbol names (underscores, etc).

   * Compile setting for maximum size of stack frame size before
     spilling parts to static or heap.

   * Flag to force local variables into static space.

   * Flag to force local variables onto stack.

Environment Options
-------------------

   * Pluggable library modules for random numbers, linear algebra.  LA
     should use BLAS calling conventions.

   * Environment variables controlling actions on arithmetic exceptions
     like overflow, underflow, precision loss--Generate NaN, abort,
     default.  action.

   * Set precision for fp units that support it (i387).

   * Variable for setting fp rounding mode.

   * Variable to fill uninitialized variables with a user-defined bit
     pattern.

   * Environment variable controlling filename that is opened for that
     unit number.

   * Environment variable to clear/trash memory being freed.

   * Environment variable to control tracing of allocations and frees.

   * Environment variable to display allocated memory at normal program
     end.

   * Environment variable for filename for * IO-unit.

   * Environment variable for temporary file directory.

   * Environment variable forcing standard output to be line buffered
     (Unix).

GNU General Public License
**************************

                        Version 3, 29 June 2007

     Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. `http://fsf.org/'

     Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this
     license document, but changing it is not allowed.

Preamble
========

The GNU General Public License is a free, copyleft license for software
and other kinds of works.

   The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed
to take away your freedom to share and change the works.  By contrast,
the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to
share and change all versions of a program-to make sure it remains free
software for all its users.  We, the Free Software Foundation, use the
GNU General Public License for most of our software; it applies also to
any other work released this way by its authors.  You can apply it to
your programs, too.

   When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
price.  Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you
want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new
free programs, and that you know you can do these things.

   To protect your rights, we need to prevent others from denying you
these rights or asking you to surrender the rights.  Therefore, you
have 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, whether
gratis or for a fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same
freedoms that you received.  You must make sure that they, too, receive
or can get the source code.  And you must show them these terms so they
know 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 License
giving you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify it.

   For the developers' and authors' protection, the GPL clearly explains
that there is no warranty for this free software.  For both users' and
authors' sake, the GPL requires that modified versions be marked as
changed, so that their problems will not be attributed erroneously to
authors of previous versions.

   Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or run
modified versions of the software inside them, although the
manufacturer can do so.  This is fundamentally incompatible with the
aim of protecting users' freedom to change the software.  The
systematic pattern of such abuse occurs in the area of products for
individuals to use, which is precisely where it is most unacceptable.
Therefore, we have designed this version of the GPL to prohibit the
practice for those products.  If such problems arise substantially in
other domains, we stand ready to extend this provision to those domains
in future versions of the GPL, as needed to protect the freedom of
users.

   Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software patents.
States should not allow patents to restrict development and use of
software on general-purpose computers, but in those that do, we wish to
avoid the special danger that patents applied to a free program could
make it effectively proprietary.  To prevent this, the GPL assures that
patents cannot be used to render the program non-free.

   The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
modification follow.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS
====================

  0. Definitions.

     "This License" refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public
     License.

     "Copyright" also means copyright-like laws that apply to other
     kinds of works, such as semiconductor masks.

     "The Program" refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this
     License.  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 the
     work in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the
     making of an exact copy.  The resulting work is called a "modified
     version" of the earlier work or a work "based on" the earlier work.

     A "covered work" means either the unmodified Program or a work
     based on the Program.

     To "propagate" a work means to do anything with it that, without
     permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for
     infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it
     on a computer or modifying a private copy.  Propagation includes
     copying, distribution (with or without modification), making
     available to the public, and in some countries other activities as
     well.

     To "convey" a work means any kind of propagation that enables other
     parties to make or receive copies.  Mere interaction with a user
     through a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not
     conveying.

     An interactive user interface displays "Appropriate Legal Notices"
     to the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible
     feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2)
     tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to
     the extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may
     convey the work under this License, and how to view a copy of this
     License.  If the interface presents a list of user commands or
     options, such as a menu, a prominent item in the list meets this
     criterion.

  1. Source Code.

     The "source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work
     for making modifications to it.  "Object code" means any
     non-source form of a work.

     A "Standard Interface" means an interface that either is an
     official standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in
     the case of interfaces specified for a particular programming
     language, one that is widely used among developers working in that
     language.

     The "System Libraries" of an executable work include anything,
     other than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal
     form of packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that
     Major Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work
     with that Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface
     for which an implementation is available to the public in source
     code form.  A "Major Component", in this context, means a major
     essential component (kernel, window system, and so on) of the
     specific operating system (if any) on which the executable work
     runs, or a compiler used to produce the work, or an object code
     interpreter used to run it.

     The "Corresponding Source" for a work in object code form means all
     the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable
     work) run the object code and to modify the work, including
     scripts to control those activities.  However, it does not include
     the work's System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally
     available free programs which are used unmodified in performing
     those activities but which are not part of the work.  For example,
     Corresponding Source includes interface definition files
     associated with source files for the work, and the source code for
     shared libraries and dynamically linked subprograms that the work
     is specifically designed to require, such as by intimate data
     communication or control flow between those subprograms and other
     parts of the work.

     The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users can
     regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding
     Source.

     The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that
     same work.

  2. Basic Permissions.

     All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of
     copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated
     conditions are met.  This License explicitly affirms your unlimited
     permission to run the unmodified Program.  The output from running
     a covered work is covered by this License only if the output,
     given its content, constitutes a covered work.  This License
     acknowledges your rights of fair use or other equivalent, as
     provided by copyright law.

     You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not
     convey, without conditions so long as your license otherwise
     remains in force.  You may convey covered works to others for the
     sole purpose of having them make modifications exclusively for
     you, or provide you with facilities for running those works,
     provided that you comply with the terms of this License in
     conveying all material for which you do not control copyright.
     Those thus making or running the covered works for you must do so
     exclusively on your behalf, under your direction and control, on
     terms that prohibit them from making any copies of your
     copyrighted material outside their relationship with you.

     Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under
     the conditions stated below.  Sublicensing is not allowed; section
     10 makes it unnecessary.

  3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law.

     No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological
     measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under
     article 11 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December
     1996, or similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of
     such measures.

     When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid
     circumvention of technological measures to the extent such
     circumvention is effected by exercising rights under this License
     with respect to the covered work, and you disclaim any intention
     to limit operation or modification of the work as a means of
     enforcing, against the work's users, your or third parties' legal
     rights to forbid circumvention of technological measures.

  4. Conveying Verbatim Copies.

     You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you
     receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
     appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice;
     keep intact all notices stating that this License and any
     non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the
     code; keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and
     give 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 to
     produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the
     terms of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these
     conditions:

       a. The work must carry prominent notices stating that you
          modified it, and giving a relevant date.

       b. The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is
          released under this License and any conditions added under
          section 7.  This requirement modifies the requirement in
          section 4 to "keep intact all notices".

       c. You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this
          License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy.  This
          License will therefore apply, along with any applicable
          section 7 additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all
          its parts, regardless of how they are packaged.  This License
          gives no permission to license the work in any other way, but
          it does not invalidate such permission if you have separately
          received it.

       d. If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display
          Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has
          interactive interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal
          Notices, your work need not make them do so.

     A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent
     works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered
     work, and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger
     program, in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is
     called an "aggregate" if the compilation and its resulting
     copyright are not used to limit the access or legal rights of the
     compilation's users beyond what the individual works permit.
     Inclusion of a covered work in an aggregate does not cause this
     License 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 terms
     of sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the
     machine-readable Corresponding Source under the terms of this
     License, in one of these ways:

       a. Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
          (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the
          Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium
          customarily used for software interchange.

       b. Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
          (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a
          written offer, valid for at least three years and valid for
          as long as you offer spare parts or customer support for that
          product model, to give anyone who possesses the object code
          either (1) a copy of the Corresponding Source for all the
          software in the product that is covered by this License, on a
          durable physical medium customarily used for software
          interchange, for a price no more than your reasonable cost of
          physically performing this conveying of source, or (2) access
          to copy the Corresponding Source from a network server at no
          charge.

       c. Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of
          the written offer to provide the Corresponding Source.  This
          alternative 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 designated
          place (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access
          to the Corresponding Source in the same way through the same
          place at no further charge.  You need not require recipients
          to copy the Corresponding Source along with the object code.
          If the place to copy the object code is a network server, the
          Corresponding Source may be on a different server (operated
          by you or a third party) that supports equivalent copying
          facilities, provided you maintain clear directions next to
          the object code saying where to find the Corresponding Source.
          Regardless of what server hosts the Corresponding Source, you
          remain obligated to ensure that it is available for as long
          as needed to satisfy these requirements.

       e. Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission,
          provided you inform other peers where the object code and
          Corresponding Source of the work are being offered to the
          general public at no charge under subsection 6d.


     A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is
     excluded from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need
     not be included in conveying the object code work.

     A "User Product" is either (1) a "consumer product", which means
     any tangible personal property which is normally used for personal,
     family, or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for
     incorporation into a dwelling.  In determining whether a product
     is a consumer product, doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of
     coverage.  For a particular product received by a particular user,
     "normally used" refers to a typical or common use of that class of
     product, regardless of the status of the particular user or of the
     way in which the particular user actually uses, or expects or is
     expected to use, the product.  A product is a consumer product
     regardless of whether the product has substantial commercial,
     industrial or non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent the
     only significant mode of use of the product.

     "Installation Information" for a User Product means any methods,
     procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to
     install and execute modified versions of a covered work in that
     User Product from a modified version of its Corresponding Source.
     The information must suffice to ensure that the continued
     functioning of the modified object code is in no case prevented or
     interfered 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 conveying
     occurs as part of a transaction in which the right of possession
     and use of the User Product is transferred to the recipient in
     perpetuity or for a fixed term (regardless of how the transaction
     is characterized), the Corresponding Source conveyed under this
     section must be accompanied by the Installation Information.  But
     this requirement does not apply if neither you nor any third party
     retains the ability to install modified object code on the User
     Product (for example, the work has been installed in ROM).

     The requirement to provide Installation Information does not
     include a requirement to continue to provide support service,
     warranty, or updates for a work that has been modified or
     installed by the recipient, or for the User Product in which it
     has been modified or installed.  Access to a network may be denied
     when the modification itself materially and adversely affects the
     operation of the network or violates the rules and protocols for
     communication across the network.

     Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information
     provided, in accord with this section must be in a format that is
     publicly documented (and with an implementation available to the
     public in source code form), and must require no special password
     or key for unpacking, reading or copying.

  7. Additional Terms.

     "Additional permissions" are terms that supplement the terms of
     this License by making exceptions from one or more of its
     conditions.  Additional permissions that are applicable to the
     entire Program shall be treated as though they were included in
     this License, to the extent that they are valid under applicable
     law.  If additional permissions apply only to part of the Program,
     that part may be used separately under those permissions, but the
     entire Program remains governed by this License without regard to
     the additional permissions.

     When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option
     remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part
     of it.  (Additional permissions may be written to require their own
     removal in certain cases when you modify the work.)  You may place
     additional 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 material
     you add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright
     holders of that material) supplement the terms of this License
     with terms:

       a. Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from
          the terms of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or

       b. Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices
          or author attributions in that material or in the Appropriate
          Legal Notices displayed by works containing it; or

       c. Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material,
          or requiring that modified versions of such material be
          marked in reasonable ways as different from the original
          version; or

       d. Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors
          or authors of the material; or

       e. Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some
          trade names, trademarks, or service marks; or

       f. Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that
          material by anyone who conveys the material (or modified
          versions of it) with contractual assumptions of liability to
          the recipient, for any liability that these contractual
          assumptions directly impose on those licensors and authors.

     All other non-permissive additional terms are considered "further
     restrictions" within the meaning of section 10.  If the Program as
     you received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that
     it is governed by this License along with a term that is a further
     restriction, you may remove that term.  If a license document
     contains a further restriction but permits relicensing or
     conveying under this License, you may add to a covered work
     material governed by the terms of that license document, provided
     that the further restriction does not survive such relicensing or
     conveying.

     If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you
     must place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the
     additional terms that apply to those files, or a notice indicating
     where to find the applicable terms.

     Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in
     the 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 expressly
     provided under this License.  Any attempt otherwise to propagate or
     modify it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights
     under this License (including any patent licenses granted under
     the third paragraph of section 11).

     However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your
     license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a)
     provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly
     and finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the
     copyright holder fails to notify you of the violation by some
     reasonable means prior to 60 days after the cessation.

     Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is
     reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the
     violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have
     received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from
     that copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days
     after your receipt of the notice.

     Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate
     the licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from
     you under this License.  If your rights have been terminated and
     not permanently reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new
     licenses 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 or
     run a copy of the Program.  Ancillary propagation of a covered work
     occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer
     transmission to receive a copy likewise does not require
     acceptance.  However, nothing other than this License grants you
     permission to propagate or modify any covered work.  These actions
     infringe copyright if you do not accept this License.  Therefore,
     by modifying or propagating a covered work, you indicate your
     acceptance of this License to do so.

 10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients.

     Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically
     receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and
     propagate that work, subject to this License.  You are not
     responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties with this
     License.

     An "entity transaction" is a transaction transferring control of an
     organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an
     organization, or merging organizations.  If propagation of a
     covered work results from an entity transaction, each party to that
     transaction who receives a copy of the work also receives whatever
     licenses to the work the party's predecessor in interest had or
     could give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to
     possession of the Corresponding Source of the work from the
     predecessor in interest, if the predecessor has it or can get it
     with reasonable efforts.

     You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the
     rights granted or affirmed under this License.  For example, you
     may not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for
     exercise of rights granted under this License, and you may not
     initiate litigation (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a
     lawsuit) alleging that any patent claim is infringed by making,
     using, selling, offering for sale, or importing the Program or any
     portion of it.

 11. Patents.

     A "contributor" is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this
     License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based.
     The work thus licensed is called the contributor's "contributor
     version".

     A contributor's "essential patent claims" are all patent claims
     owned or controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or
     hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some manner,
     permitted by this License, of making, using, or selling its
     contributor version, but do not include claims that would be
     infringed only as a consequence of further modification of the
     contributor version.  For purposes of this definition, "control"
     includes the right to grant patent sublicenses in a manner
     consistent with the requirements of this License.

     Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide,
     royalty-free patent license under the contributor's essential
     patent claims, to make, use, sell, offer for sale, import and
     otherwise run, modify and propagate the contents of its
     contributor version.

     In the following three paragraphs, a "patent license" is any
     express agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to
     enforce a patent (such as an express permission to practice a
     patent or covenant not to sue for patent infringement).  To
     "grant" such a patent license to a party means to make such an
     agreement or commitment not to enforce a patent against the party.

     If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent
     license, and the Corresponding Source of the work is not available
     for anyone to copy, free of charge and under the terms of this
     License, through a publicly available network server or other
     readily accessible means, then you must either (1) cause the
     Corresponding Source to be so available, or (2) arrange to deprive
     yourself of the benefit of the patent license for this particular
     work, or (3) arrange, in a manner consistent with the requirements
     of this License, to extend the patent license to downstream
     recipients.  "Knowingly relying" means you have actual knowledge
     that, but for the patent license, your conveying the covered work
     in a country, or your recipient's use of the covered work in a
     country, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in that
     country that you have reason to believe are valid.

     If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or
     arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a
     covered work, and grant a patent license to some of the parties
     receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate,
     modify or convey a specific copy of the covered work, then the
     patent license you grant is automatically extended to all
     recipients of the covered work and works based on it.

     A patent license is "discriminatory" if it does not include within
     the scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is
     conditioned on the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that
     are specifically granted under this License.  You may not convey a
     covered work if you are a party to an arrangement with a third
     party that is in the business of distributing software, under
     which you make payment to the third party based on the extent of
     your activity of conveying the work, and under which the third
     party grants, to any of the parties who would receive the covered
     work from you, a discriminatory patent license (a) in connection
     with copies of the covered work conveyed by you (or copies made
     from those copies), or (b) primarily for and in connection with
     specific products or compilations that contain the covered work,
     unless you entered into that arrangement, or that patent license
     was granted, prior to 28 March 2007.

     Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting
     any implied license or other defenses to infringement that may
     otherwise 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 this
     License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this
     License.  If you cannot convey a covered work so as to satisfy
     simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other
     pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not convey it
     at all.  For example, if you agree to terms that obligate you to
     collect a royalty for further conveying from those to whom you
     convey the Program, the only way you could satisfy both those
     terms and this License would be to refrain entirely from conveying
     the Program.

 13. Use with the GNU Affero General Public License.

     Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have
     permission to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed
     under version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public License into a
     single combined work, and to convey the resulting work.  The terms
     of this License will continue to apply to the part which is the
     covered work, but the special requirements of the GNU Affero
     General Public License, section 13, concerning interaction through
     a network will apply to the combination as such.

 14. Revised Versions of this License.

     The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new
     versions of the GNU General Public License from time to time.
     Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present
     version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or
     concerns.

     Each version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the
     Program specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU
     General Public License "or any later version" applies to it, you
     have the option of following the terms and conditions either of
     that numbered version or of any later version published by the
     Free Software Foundation.  If the Program does not specify a
     version number of the GNU General Public License, you may choose
     any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation.

     If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future
     versions of the GNU General Public License can be used, that
     proxy's public statement of acceptance of a version permanently
     authorizes you to choose that version for the Program.

     Later license versions may give you additional or different
     permissions.  However, no additional obligations are imposed on any
     author or copyright holder as a result of your choosing to follow a
     later version.

 15. Disclaimer of Warranty.

     THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
     APPLICABLE LAW.  EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE
     COPYRIGHT 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 OF
     MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  THE ENTIRE
     RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU.
     SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL
     NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.

 16. Limitation of Liability.

     IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN
     WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES
     AND/OR CONVEYS THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU
     FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR
     CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE
     THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA
     BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD
     PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
     PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF
     THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

 17. Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16.

     If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided
     above cannot be given local legal effect according to their terms,
     reviewing courts shall apply local law that most closely
     approximates an absolute waiver of all civil liability in
     connection with the Program, unless a warranty or assumption of
     liability 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 greatest
possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these
terms.

   To do so, attach the following notices to the program.  It is safest
to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
state 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 AUTHOR

     This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify
     it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
     the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or (at
     your option) any later version.

     This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but
     WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
     MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  See the GNU
     General Public License for more details.

     You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
     along with this program.  If not, see `http://www.gnu.org/licenses/'.

   Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper
mail.

   If the program does terminal interaction, make it output a short
notice like this when it starts in an interactive mode:

     PROGRAM Copyright (C) YEAR NAME OF AUTHOR
     This program comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
     This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
     under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.

   The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the
appropriate parts of the General Public License.  Of course, your
program's commands might be different; for a GUI interface, you would
use an "about box".

   You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or
school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if
necessary.  For more information on this, and how to apply and follow
the GNU GPL, see `http://www.gnu.org/licenses/'.

   The GNU General Public License does not permit incorporating your
program into proprietary programs.  If your program is a subroutine
library, you may consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary
applications with the library.  If this is what you want to do, use the
GNU Lesser General Public License instead of this License.  But first,
please read `http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/why-not-lgpl.html'.

GNU Free Documentation License
******************************

                     Version 1.3, 3 November 2008

     Copyright (C) 2000, 2001, 2002, 2007, 2008 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
     `http://fsf.org/'

     Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
     of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.

  0. PREAMBLE

     The purpose of this License is to make a manual, textbook, or other
     functional and useful document "free" in the sense of freedom: to
     assure everyone the effective freedom to copy and redistribute it,
     with or without modifying it, either commercially or
     noncommercially.  Secondarily, this License preserves for the
     author and publisher a way to get credit for their work, while not
     being considered responsible for modifications made by others.

     This License is a kind of "copyleft", which means that derivative
     works of the document must themselves be free in the same sense.
     It complements the GNU General Public License, which is a copyleft
     license designed for free software.

     We have designed this License in order to use it for manuals for
     free software, because free software needs free documentation: a
     free program should come with manuals providing the same freedoms
     that the software does.  But this License is not limited to
     software manuals; it can be used for any textual work, regardless
     of subject matter or whether it is published as a printed book.
     We recommend this License principally for works whose purpose is
     instruction or reference.

  1. APPLICABILITY AND DEFINITIONS

     This License applies to any manual or other work, in any medium,
     that contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it
     can be distributed under the terms of this License.  Such a notice
     grants 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 member
     of the public is a licensee, and is addressed as "you".  You
     accept the license if you copy, modify or distribute the work in a
     way requiring permission under copyright law.

     A "Modified Version" of the Document means any work containing the
     Document or a portion of it, either copied verbatim, or with
     modifications and/or translated into another language.

     A "Secondary Section" is a named appendix or a front-matter section
     of the Document that deals exclusively with the relationship of the
     publishers or authors of the Document to the Document's overall
     subject (or to related matters) and contains nothing that could
     fall directly within that overall subject.  (Thus, if the Document
     is in part a textbook of mathematics, a Secondary Section may not
     explain any mathematics.)  The relationship could be a matter of
     historical connection with the subject or with related matters, or
     of legal, commercial, philosophical, ethical or political position
     regarding them.

     The "Invariant Sections" are certain Secondary Sections whose
     titles are designated, as being those of Invariant Sections, in
     the notice that says that the Document is released under this
     License.  If a section does not fit the above definition of
     Secondary then it is not allowed to be designated as Invariant.
     The Document may contain zero Invariant Sections.  If the Document
     does not identify any Invariant Sections then there are none.

     The "Cover Texts" are certain short passages of text that are
     listed, as Front-Cover Texts or Back-Cover Texts, in the notice
     that says that the Document is released under this License.  A
     Front-Cover Text may be at most 5 words, and a Back-Cover Text may
     be at most 25 words.

     A "Transparent" copy of the Document means a machine-readable copy,
     represented in a format whose specification is available to the
     general public, that is suitable for revising the document
     straightforwardly with generic text editors or (for images
     composed of pixels) generic paint programs or (for drawings) some
     widely available drawing editor, and that is suitable for input to
     text formatters or for automatic translation to a variety of
     formats suitable for input to text formatters.  A copy made in an
     otherwise Transparent file format whose markup, or absence of
     markup, has been arranged to thwart or discourage subsequent
     modification by readers is not Transparent.  An image format is
     not Transparent if used for any substantial amount of text.  A
     copy that is not "Transparent" is called "Opaque".

     Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include plain
     ASCII without markup, Texinfo input format, LaTeX input format,
     SGML or XML using a publicly available DTD, and
     standard-conforming simple HTML, PostScript or PDF designed for
     human modification.  Examples of transparent image formats include
     PNG, XCF and JPG.  Opaque formats include proprietary formats that
     can be read and edited only by proprietary word processors, SGML or
     XML for which the DTD and/or processing tools are not generally
     available, and the machine-generated HTML, PostScript or PDF
     produced 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, the
     material this License requires to appear in the title page.  For
     works in formats which do not have any title page as such, "Title
     Page" means the text near the most prominent appearance of the
     work's title, preceding the beginning of the body of the text.

     The "publisher" means any person or entity that distributes copies
     of the Document to the public.

     A section "Entitled XYZ" means a named subunit of the Document
     whose title either is precisely XYZ or contains XYZ in parentheses
     following text that translates XYZ in another language.  (Here XYZ
     stands 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 the
     Document means that it remains a section "Entitled XYZ" according
     to this definition.

     The Document may include Warranty Disclaimers next to the notice
     which states that this License applies to the Document.  These
     Warranty Disclaimers are considered to be included by reference in
     this License, but only as regards disclaiming warranties: any other
     implication that these Warranty Disclaimers may have is void and
     has no effect on the meaning of this License.

  2. VERBATIM COPYING

     You may copy and distribute the Document in any medium, either
     commercially or noncommercially, provided that this License, the
     copyright notices, and the license notice saying this License
     applies to the Document are reproduced in all copies, and that you
     add no other conditions whatsoever to those of this License.  You
     may not use technical measures to obstruct or control the reading
     or further copying of the copies you make or distribute.  However,
     you may accept compensation in exchange for copies.  If you
     distribute a large enough number of copies you must also follow
     the conditions in section 3.

     You may also lend copies, under the same conditions stated above,
     and you may publicly display copies.

  3. COPYING IN QUANTITY

     If you publish printed copies (or copies in media that commonly
     have printed covers) of the Document, numbering more than 100, and
     the Document's license notice requires Cover Texts, you must
     enclose the copies in covers that carry, clearly and legibly, all
     these Cover Texts: Front-Cover Texts on the front cover, and
     Back-Cover Texts on the back cover.  Both covers must also clearly
     and legibly identify you as the publisher of these copies.  The
     front cover must present the full title with all words of the
     title equally prominent and visible.  You may add other material
     on the covers in addition.  Copying with changes limited to the
     covers, as long as they preserve the title of the Document and
     satisfy these conditions, can be treated as verbatim copying in
     other respects.

     If the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to fit
     legibly, you should put the first ones listed (as many as fit
     reasonably) on the actual cover, and continue the rest onto
     adjacent pages.

     If you publish or distribute Opaque copies of the Document
     numbering more than 100, you must either include a
     machine-readable Transparent copy along with each Opaque copy, or
     state in or with each Opaque copy a computer-network location from
     which the general network-using public has access to download
     using public-standard network protocols a complete Transparent
     copy of the Document, free of added material.  If you use the
     latter option, you must take reasonably prudent steps, when you
     begin distribution of Opaque copies in quantity, to ensure that
     this Transparent copy will remain thus accessible at the stated
     location until at least one year after the last time you
     distribute an Opaque copy (directly or through your agents or
     retailers) of that edition to the public.

     It is requested, but not required, that you contact the authors of
     the Document well before redistributing any large number of
     copies, to give them a chance to provide you with an updated
     version of the Document.

  4. MODIFICATIONS

     You may copy and distribute a Modified Version of the Document
     under the conditions of sections 2 and 3 above, provided that you
     release the Modified Version under precisely this License, with
     the Modified Version filling the role of the Document, thus
     licensing distribution and modification of the Modified Version to
     whoever possesses a copy of it.  In addition, you must do these
     things in the Modified Version:

       A. Use in the Title Page (and on the covers, if any) a title
          distinct from that of the Document, and from those of
          previous versions (which should, if there were any, be listed
          in the History section of the Document).  You may use the
          same title as a previous version if the original publisher of
          that version gives permission.

       B. List on the Title Page, as authors, one or more persons or
          entities responsible for authorship of the modifications in
          the Modified Version, together with at least five of the
          principal authors of the Document (all of its principal
          authors, if it has fewer than five), unless they release you
          from this requirement.

       C. State on the Title page the name of the publisher of the
          Modified Version, as the publisher.

       D. Preserve all the copyright notices of the Document.

       E. Add an appropriate copyright notice for your modifications
          adjacent to the other copyright notices.

       F. Include, immediately after the copyright notices, a license
          notice giving the public permission to use the Modified
          Version under the terms of this License, in the form shown in
          the Addendum below.

       G. Preserve in that license notice the full lists of Invariant
          Sections and required Cover Texts given in the Document's
          license 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, new
          authors, and publisher of the Modified Version as given on
          the Title Page.  If there is no section Entitled "History" in
          the 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 in
          the previous sentence.

       J. Preserve the network location, if any, given in the Document
          for public access to a Transparent copy of the Document, and
          likewise the network locations given in the Document for
          previous versions it was based on.  These may be placed in
          the "History" section.  You may omit a network location for a
          work that was published at least four years before the
          Document itself, or if the original publisher of the version
          it refers to gives permission.

       K. For any section Entitled "Acknowledgements" or "Dedications",
          Preserve the Title of the section, and preserve in the
          section all the substance and tone of each of the contributor
          acknowledgements and/or dedications given therein.

       L. Preserve all the Invariant Sections of the Document,
          unaltered in their text and in their titles.  Section numbers
          or the equivalent are not considered part of the section
          titles.

       M. Delete any section Entitled "Endorsements".  Such a section
          may 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 Invariant
          Section.

       O. Preserve any Warranty Disclaimers.

     If the Modified Version includes new front-matter sections or
     appendices that qualify as Secondary Sections and contain no
     material copied from the Document, you may at your option
     designate some or all of these sections as invariant.  To do this,
     add their titles to the list of Invariant Sections in the Modified
     Version's license notice.  These titles must be distinct from any
     other section titles.

     You may add a section Entitled "Endorsements", provided it contains
     nothing but endorsements of your Modified Version by various
     parties--for example, statements of peer review or that the text
     has been approved by an organization as the authoritative
     definition 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 end
     of the list of Cover Texts in the Modified Version.  Only one
     passage of Front-Cover Text and one of Back-Cover Text may be
     added by (or through arrangements made by) any one entity.  If the
     Document already includes a cover text for the same cover,
     previously added by you or by arrangement made by the same entity
     you are acting on behalf of, you may not add another; but you may
     replace the old one, on explicit permission from the previous
     publisher that added the old one.

     The author(s) and publisher(s) of the Document do not by this
     License give permission to use their names for publicity for or to
     assert or imply endorsement of any Modified Version.

  5. COMBINING DOCUMENTS

     You may combine the Document with other documents released under
     this License, under the terms defined in section 4 above for
     modified versions, provided that you include in the combination
     all of the Invariant Sections of all of the original documents,
     unmodified, and list them all as Invariant Sections of your
     combined work in its license notice, and that you preserve all
     their Warranty Disclaimers.

     The combined work need only contain one copy of this License, and
     multiple identical Invariant Sections may be replaced with a single
     copy.  If there are multiple Invariant Sections with the same name
     but different contents, make the title of each such section unique
     by adding at the end of it, in parentheses, the name of the
     original author or publisher of that section if known, or else a
     unique number.  Make the same adjustment to the section titles in
     the list of Invariant Sections in the license notice of the
     combined work.

     In the combination, you must combine any sections Entitled
     "History" in the various original documents, forming one section
     Entitled "History"; likewise combine any sections Entitled
     "Acknowledgements", and any sections Entitled "Dedications".  You
     must delete all sections Entitled "Endorsements."

  6. COLLECTIONS OF DOCUMENTS

     You may make a collection consisting of the Document and other
     documents released under this License, and replace the individual
     copies of this License in the various documents with a single copy
     that is included in the collection, provided that you follow the
     rules of this License for verbatim copying of each of the
     documents in all other respects.

     You may extract a single document from such a collection, and
     distribute it individually under this License, provided you insert
     a copy of this License into the extracted document, and follow
     this License in all other respects regarding verbatim copying of
     that document.

  7. AGGREGATION WITH INDEPENDENT WORKS

     A compilation of the Document or its derivatives with other
     separate and independent documents or works, in or on a volume of
     a storage or distribution medium, is called an "aggregate" if the
     copyright resulting from the compilation is not used to limit the
     legal rights of the compilation's users beyond what the individual
     works permit.  When the Document is included in an aggregate, this
     License does not apply to the other works in the aggregate which
     are not themselves derivative works of the Document.

     If the Cover Text requirement of section 3 is applicable to these
     copies of the Document, then if the Document is less than one half
     of the entire aggregate, the Document's Cover Texts may be placed
     on covers that bracket the Document within the aggregate, or the
     electronic equivalent of covers if the Document is in electronic
     form.  Otherwise they must appear on printed covers that bracket
     the whole aggregate.

  8. TRANSLATION

     Translation is considered a kind of modification, so you may
     distribute translations of the Document under the terms of section
     4.  Replacing Invariant Sections with translations requires special
     permission from their copyright holders, but you may include
     translations of some or all Invariant Sections in addition to the
     original versions of these Invariant Sections.  You may include a
     translation of this License, and all the license notices in the
     Document, and any Warranty Disclaimers, provided that you also
     include the original English version of this License and the
     original versions of those notices and disclaimers.  In case of a
     disagreement between the translation and the original version of
     this License or a notice or disclaimer, the original version will
     prevail.

     If a section in the Document is Entitled "Acknowledgements",
     "Dedications", or "History", the requirement (section 4) to
     Preserve its Title (section 1) will typically require changing the
     actual title.

  9. TERMINATION

     You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Document
     except as expressly provided under this License.  Any attempt
     otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute it is void,
     and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.

     However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your
     license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a)
     provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly
     and finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the
     copyright holder fails to notify you of the violation by some
     reasonable means prior to 60 days after the cessation.

     Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is
     reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the
     violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have
     received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from
     that copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days
     after your receipt of the notice.

     Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate
     the licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from
     you under this License.  If your rights have been terminated and
     not permanently reinstated, receipt of a copy of some or all of
     the same material does not give you any rights to use it.

 10. FUTURE REVISIONS OF THIS LICENSE

     The Free Software Foundation may publish new, revised versions of
     the GNU Free Documentation License from time to time.  Such new
     versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may
     differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.  See
     `http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/'.

     Each version of the License is given a distinguishing version
     number.  If the Document specifies that a particular numbered
     version of this License "or any later version" applies to it, you
     have the option of following the terms and conditions either of
     that specified version or of any later version that has been
     published (not as a draft) by the Free Software Foundation.  If
     the Document does not specify a version number of this License,
     you may choose any version ever published (not as a draft) by the
     Free Software Foundation.  If the Document specifies that a proxy
     can decide which future versions of this License can be used, that
     proxy's public statement of acceptance of a version permanently
     authorizes you to choose that version for the Document.

 11. RELICENSING

     "Massive Multiauthor Collaboration Site" (or "MMC Site") means any
     World Wide Web server that publishes copyrightable works and also
     provides prominent facilities for anybody to edit those works.  A
     public wiki that anybody can edit is an example of such a server.
     A "Massive Multiauthor Collaboration" (or "MMC") contained in the
     site means any set of copyrightable works thus published on the MMC
     site.

     "CC-BY-SA" means the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0
     license published by Creative Commons Corporation, a not-for-profit
     corporation with a principal place of business in San Francisco,
     California, as well as future copyleft versions of that license
     published by that same organization.

     "Incorporate" means to publish or republish a Document, in whole or
     in part, as part of another Document.

     An MMC is "eligible for relicensing" if it is licensed under this
     License, and if all works that were first published under this
     License somewhere other than this MMC, and subsequently
     incorporated in whole or in part into the MMC, (1) had no cover
     texts or invariant sections, and (2) were thus incorporated prior
     to November 1, 2008.

     The operator of an MMC Site may republish an MMC contained in the
     site under CC-BY-SA on the same site at any time before August 1,
     2009, provided the MMC is eligible for relicensing.


ADDENDUM: How to use this License for your documents
====================================================

To use this License in a document you have written, include a copy of
the License in the document and put the following copyright and license
notices just after the title page:

       Copyright (C)  YEAR  YOUR NAME.
       Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this document
       under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.3
       or any later version published by the Free Software Foundation;
       with no Invariant Sections, no Front-Cover Texts, and no Back-Cover
       Texts.  A copy of the license is included in the section entitled ``GNU
       Free Documentation License''.

   If you have Invariant Sections, Front-Cover Texts and Back-Cover
Texts, replace the "with...Texts." line with this:

         with the Invariant Sections being LIST THEIR TITLES, with
         the Front-Cover Texts being LIST, and with the Back-Cover Texts
         being LIST.

   If you have Invariant Sections without Cover Texts, or some other
combination of the three, merge those two alternatives to suit the
situation.

   If your document contains nontrivial examples of program code, we
recommend releasing these examples in parallel under your choice of
free software license, such as the GNU General Public License, to
permit their use in free software.

Funding Free Software
*********************

If you want to have more free software a few years from now, it makes
sense for you to help encourage people to contribute funds for its
development.  The most effective approach known is to encourage
commercial redistributors to donate.

   Users of free software systems can boost the pace of development by
encouraging for-a-fee distributors to donate part of their selling price
to free software developers--the Free Software Foundation, and others.

   The way to convince distributors to do this is to demand it and
expect it from them.  So when you compare distributors, judge them
partly by how much they give to free software development.  Show
distributors they must compete to be the one who gives the most.

   To make this approach work, you must insist on numbers that you can
compare, such as, "We will donate ten dollars to the Frobnitz project
for 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 basis
for comparison.

   Even a precise fraction "of the profits from this disk" is not very
meaningful, since creative accounting and unrelated business decisions
can 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 less
than a dollar; it might be a few cents, or nothing at all.

   Some redistributors do development work themselves.  This is useful
too; but to keep everyone honest, you need to inquire how much they do,
and what kind.  Some kinds of development make much more long-term
difference than others.  For example, maintaining a separate version of
a program contributes very little; maintaining the standard version of a
program for the whole community contributes much.  Easy new ports
contribute little, since someone else would surely do them; difficult
ports such as adding a new CPU to the GNU Compiler Collection
contribute more; major new features or packages contribute the most.

   By establishing the idea that supporting further development is "the
proper thing to do" when distributing free software for a fee, we can
assure a steady flow of resources into making more free software.
