, the
Fortran 77 front end included in GCC prior to version 4 (released in
2005). While it is backward-compatible with most g77
extensions and command-line options, gfortran
is a completely new
implemention designed to support more modern dialects of Fortran.
GNU Fortran implements the Fortran 77, 90 and 95 standards
completely, most of the Fortran 2003 and 2008 standards, and some
features from the 2018 standard. It also implements several extensions
including OpenMP and OpenACC support for parallel programming.
The GNU Fortran compiler passes the NIST Fortran 77 Test Suite, and produces acceptable results on the LAPACK Test Suite. It also provides respectable performance on the Polyhedron Fortran compiler benchmarks and the Livermore Fortran Kernels test. It has been used to compile a number of large real-world programs, including the HARMONIE and HIRLAM weather forecasting code and the Tonto quantum chemistry package; see https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/GfortranApps for an extended list.
GNU Fortran provides the following functionality:
The compiler also attempts to diagnose cases where your program contains a correct usage of the language, but instructs the computer to do something questionable. This kind of diagnostic message is called a warning message.
gdb
).
The GNU Fortran compiler consists of several components:
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.
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 primary difference between the gcc
and gfortran
commands is that the latter automatically links the correct libraries
to your program.
gfortran
compilation phase,
such as intrinsic functions and subroutines,
and routines for interaction with files and the operating system.
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 call it for you.
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 that has been compiled with Fortran language support enabled,
gcc
recognizes files with .f, .for, .ftn,
.f90, .f95, .f03 and .f08 extensions as
Fortran source code, and compiles 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 that relate to the optimization passes and the back-end code generation are documented in the GCC manual; see Introduction in Using the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC). The two manuals together provide a complete reference for the GNU Fortran compiler.
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. Official Fortran standard documents are available for purchase from ISO; a collection of free documents (typically final drafts) are also available on the wiki.
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 supports almost all of ISO/IEC 1539-1:2004
(Fortran 2003) and ISO/IEC 1539-1:2010 (Fortran 2008).
It has partial support for features introduced in ISO/IEC
1539:2018 (Fortran 2018), the most recent version of the Fortran
language standard, including full support for the Technical Specification
Further Interoperability of Fortran with C
(ISO/IEC TS 29113:2012).
More details on support for these standards can be
found in the following sections of the documentation.
Additionally, the GNU Fortran compilers supports the OpenMP specification (version 4.5 and partial support of the features of the 5.0 version, https://openmp.org/openmp-specifications/). There also is support for the OpenACC specification (targeting version 2.6, https://www.openacc.org/). See https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/OpenACC for more information.
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 https://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=:)
.)
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).
GNU Fortran implements the Fortran 2003 (ISO/IEC 1539-1:2004) standard except for finalization support, which is incomplete. See the wiki page for a full list of new features introduced by Fortran 2003 and their implementation status.
The GNU Fortran compiler supports almost all features of Fortran 2008; the wiki has some information about the current implementation status. In particular, the following are not yet supported:
DO CONCURRENT
and FORALL
do not recognize a
type-spec in the loop header.
DATA
statement has not been implemented.
Fortran 2018 (ISO/IEC 1539:2018) is the most recent version of the Fortran language standard. GNU Fortran implements some of the new features of this standard:
SELECT RANK
construct as well as the parts relating to
BIND(C)
functions.
See also Further Interoperability of Fortran with C.
CO_MIN
and CO_MAX
and SUM

and the CO_BROADCAST

The gfortran
command supports all the options supported by the
gcc
command. Only options specific to GNU Fortran are documented
here.
See GCC Command Options in Using the GNU Compiler
Collection (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.

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= 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
.
-fallow-argument-mismatch
¶Some code contains calls to external procedures with mismatches between the calls and the procedure definition, or with mismatches between different calls. Such code is non-conforming, and will usually be flagged with an error. This options degrades the error to a warning, which can only be disabled by disabling all warnings via -w. Only a single occurrence per argument is flagged by this warning. -fallow-argument-mismatch is implied by -std=legacy.
Using this option is strongly discouraged. It is possible to
provide standard-conforming code which allows different types of
arguments by using an explicit interface and TYPE(*)
.
-fallow-invalid-boz
¶A BOZ literal constant can occur in a limited number of contexts in standard conforming Fortran. This option degrades an error condition to a warning, and allows a BOZ literal constant to appear where the Fortran standard would otherwise prohibit its use.
-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.
-fdec
¶DEC compatibility mode. Enables extensions and other features that mimic the default behavior of older compilers (such as DEC). These features are non-standard and should be avoided at all costs. For details on GNU Fortran’s implementation of these extensions see the full documentation.
Other flags enabled by this switch are: -fdollar-ok -fcray-pointer -fdec-char-conversions -fdec-structure -fdec-intrinsic-ints -fdec-static -fdec-math -fdec-include -fdec-blank-format-item -fdec-format-defaults
If -fd-lines-as-code/-fd-lines-as-comments are unset, then -fdec also sets -fd-lines-as-comments.
-fdec-char-conversions
¶Enable the use of character literals in assignments and DATA
statements
for non-character variables.
-fdec-structure
¶Enable DEC STRUCTURE
and RECORD
as well as UNION
,
MAP
, and dot (’.’) as a member separator (in addition to ’%’). This is
provided for compatibility only; Fortran 90 derived types should be used
instead where possible.
-fdec-intrinsic-ints
¶Enable B/I/J/K kind variants of existing integer functions (e.g. BIAND, IIAND, JIAND, etc...). For a complete list of intrinsics see the full documentation.
-fdec-math
¶Enable legacy math intrinsics such as COTAN and degree-valued trigonometric functions (e.g. TAND, ATAND, etc...) for compatability with older code.
-fdec-static
¶Enable DEC-style STATIC and AUTOMATIC attributes to explicitly specify the storage of variables and other objects.
-fdec-include
¶Enable parsing of INCLUDE as a statement in addition to parsing it as INCLUDE line. When parsed as INCLUDE statement, INCLUDE does not have to be on a single line and can use line continuations.
-fdec-format-defaults
¶Enable format specifiers F, G and I to be used without width specifiers, default widths will be used instead.
-fdec-blank-format-item
¶Enable a blank format item at the end of a format specification i.e. nothing following the final comma.
-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, unless -fno-pad-source
, 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.
-fno-pad-source
¶By default fixed-form lines have spaces assumed (as if padded to that length) after the ends of short fixed-form lines. This is not done either if -ffixed-line-length-0, -ffixed-line-length-none or if -fno-pad-source option is used. With any of those options continued character constants never have implicit spaces appended to them to fill out the line.
-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 later).
-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.
-fopenacc
¶Enable the OpenACC extensions. This includes OpenACC !$acc
directives in free form and c$acc
, *$acc
and
!$acc
directives in fixed form, !$
conditional
compilation sentinels in free form and c$
, *$
and
!$
sentinels in fixed form, and when linking arranges for the
OpenACC runtime library to be linked in.
-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
. This option promotes
the default width of DOUBLE PRECISION
and double real constants
like 1.d0
to 16 bytes if possible. If -fdefault-double-8
is given along with fdefault-real-8
, DOUBLE PRECISION
and double real constants are not promoted. Unlike -freal-4-real-8,
fdefault-real-8
does not promote variables with explicit kind
declarations.
-fdefault-real-10
¶Set the default real type to an 10 byte wide type. This option also affects
the kind of non-double real constants like 1.0
. This option promotes
the default width of DOUBLE PRECISION
and double real constants
like 1.d0
to 16 bytes if possible. If -fdefault-double-8
is given along with fdefault-real-10
, DOUBLE PRECISION
and double real constants are not promoted. Unlike -freal-4-real-10,
fdefault-real-10
does not promote variables with explicit kind
declarations.
-fdefault-real-16
¶Set the default real type to an 16 byte wide type. This option also affects
the kind of non-double real constants like 1.0
. This option promotes
the default width of DOUBLE PRECISION
and double real constants
like 1.d0
to 16 bytes if possible. If -fdefault-double-8
is given along with fdefault-real-16
, DOUBLE PRECISION
and double real constants are not promoted. Unlike -freal-4-real-16,
fdefault-real-16
does not promote variables with explicit kind
declarations.
-fdefault-double-8
¶Set the DOUBLE PRECISION
type and double real constants
like 1.d0
to an 8 byte wide type. Do nothing if this
is already the default. This option prevents -fdefault-real-8,
-fdefault-real-10, and -fdefault-real-16,
from promoting DOUBLE PRECISION
and double real constants like
1.d0
to 16 bytes.
-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.
The -freal-4-
flags also affect the default real kind and the
-freal-8-
flags also the double-precision real kind. All other
real-kind types are unaffected by this option. The promotion is also
applied to real literal constants of default and double-precision kind
and a specified kind number of 4 or 8, respectively.
However, -fdefault-real-8
, -fdefault-real-10
,
-fdefault-real-10
, and -fdefault-double-8
take precedence
for the default and double-precision real kinds, both for real literal
constants and for declarations without a kind number.
Note that for REAL(KIND=KIND(1.0))
the literal may get promoted and
then the result may get promoted again.
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 and calls to intrinsic procedures
when passing a value to the kind=
dummy argument. Inspection of the
intermediate representation of the translated Fortran code, produced by
-fdump-fortran-original or -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’, ‘f2018’, ‘gnu’, or ‘legacy’. The default value for std is ‘gnu’, which specifies a superset of the latest Fortran 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’, ‘f2008’, and ‘f2018’ values specify strict conformance to the Fortran 95, Fortran 2003, Fortran 2008 and Fortran 2018 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. The deprecated option ‘-std=f2008ts’ acts as an alias for ‘-std=f2018’. It is only present for backwards compatibility with earlier gfortran versions and should not be used any more.
-ftest-forall-temp
¶Enhance test coverage by forcing most forall assignments to use temporary.
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. The macros __GNUC__
, __GNUC_MINOR__
and
__GNUC_PATCHLEVEL__
can be used to determine the version of the
compiler. See Overview in The C Preprocessor for details.
GNU Fortran supports a number of INTEGER
and REAL
kind types
in additional to the kind types required by the Fortran standard.
The availability of any given kind type is architecture dependent. The
following pre-defined preprocessor macros can be used to conditionally
include code for these additional kind types: __GFC_INT_1__
,
__GFC_INT_2__
, __GFC_INT_8__
, __GFC_INT_16__
,
__GFC_REAL_10__
, and __GFC_REAL_16__
.
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).
The following options control preprocessing of Fortran code:
-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.
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.
-Wpedantic
¶-pedantic
Issue warnings for uses of extensions to Fortran.
-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 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, -std=f2008 or -std=f2018.
-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, -Wtabs, -Wintrinsic-shadow, -Wline-truncation, -Wtarget-lifetime, -Winteger-division, -Wreal-q-constant, -Wunused and -Wundefined-do-loop.
-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, -std=f2008 and -std=f2018. 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. For free-form source code, the default is -Werror=line-truncation such that truncations are reported as error.
-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. This option does not imply -Wconversion.
-Wextra
¶Enables some warning options for usages of language features which may be problematic. This currently includes -Wcompare-reals, -Wunused-parameter and -Wdo-subscript.
-Wfrontend-loop-interchange
¶Warn when using -ffrontend-loop-interchange for performing loop interchanges.
-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
.
-Winteger-division
¶Warn if a constant integer division truncates its result. As an example, 3/5 evaluates to 0.
-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.
-Wno-overwrite-recursive
¶Do not warn when -fno-automatic is used with -frecursive. Recursion
will be broken if the relevant local variables do not have the attribute
AUTOMATIC
explicitly declared. This option can be used to suppress the warning
when it is known that recursion is not broken. Useful for build environments that use
-Werror.
-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:
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. -Wtabs will cause a warning to be issued if a tab is encountered. Note, -Wtabs is active for -pedantic, -std=f95, -std=f2003, -std=f2008, -std=f2018 and -Wall.
-Wundefined-do-loop
¶Warn if a DO loop with step either 1 or -1 yields an underflow or an overflow during iteration of an induction variable of the loop. This option is implied by -Wall.
-Wunderflow
¶Produce a warning when numerical constant expressions are encountered, which yield an UNDERFLOW during compilation. Enabled by default.
-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.
-Wuse-without-only
¶Warn if a USE
statement has no ONLY
qualifier and
thus implicitly imports all public entities of the used module.
-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 implied by -Wextra if also -Wunused or
-Wall is used.
-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 impure functions are eliminated by the optimizations enabled by the -ffrontend-optimize option. This option is implied by -Wextra.
-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.
-Wdo-subscript
¶Warn if an array subscript inside a DO loop could lead to an out-of-bounds access even if the compiler cannot prove that the statement is actually executed, in cases like
real a(3) do i=1,4 if (condition(i)) then a(i) = 1.2 end if end do
This option is implied by -Wextra.
-Werror
¶Turns all warnings into errors.
See Options to Request or Suppress Errors and
Warnings in Using the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC), 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.
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. This option is mostly useful for debugging the GNU Fortran compiler itself. The output generated by this option might change between releases. This option may also generate internal compiler errors for features which have only recently been added.
-fdump-fortran-optimized
¶Output the parse tree after front-end optimization. Mostly useful for debugging the GNU Fortran compiler itself. The output generated by this option might change between releases. This option may also generate internal compiler errors for features which have only recently been added.
-fdump-parse-tree
¶Output the internal parse tree after translating the source program
into internal representation. Mostly useful for debugging the GNU
Fortran compiler itself. The output generated by this option might
change between releases. This option may also generate internal
compiler errors for features which have only recently been added. This
option is deprecated; use -fdump-fortran-original
instead.
-fdebug-aux-vars
¶Renames internal variables created by the gfortran front end and makes
them accessible to a debugger. The name of the internal variables then
start with upper-case letters followed by an underscore. This option is
useful for debugging the compiler’s code generation together with
-fdump-tree-original
and enabling debugging of the executable
program by using -g
or -ggdb3
.
-fdump-fortran-global
¶Output a list of the global identifiers after translating into middle-end representation. Mostly useful for debugging the GNU Fortran compiler itself. The output generated by this option might change between releases. This option may also generate internal compiler errors for features which have only recently been added.
-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.
If the option is used more than once in the command line, the lists will
be joined: ’ffpe-trap=
list1 ffpe-trap=
list2’
is equivalent to ffpe-trap=
list1,list2.
Note that once enabled an exception cannot be disabled (no negative form).
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.)
If the option is used more than once in the command line, only the last one will be used.
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.
See Options for Debugging Your Program or GCC in Using the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC), for more information on debugging options.
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.
See Options for Directory Search in Using the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC), 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.
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.
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 on most systems 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.
On POWER systems which suppport -mabi=ieeelongdouble, there are additional options, which can be combined with others with commas. Those are
REAL(KIND=16)
.
REAL(KIND=16)
.
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.
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.
Local variables or arrays having an explicit SAVE
attribute are
silently ignored unless the -pedantic option is added.
-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-à-vis existing libraries, tools, and so on).
For example, with -funderscoring, and assuming 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>
¶Disable coarray support; using coarray declarations and image-control statements will produce a compile-time error. (Default)
Single-image mode, i.e. num_images()
is always one.
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. Prefixing a check with no- disables it if it was activated by a previous specification.
Enable all run-time test of -fcheck.
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.
Enable generation of run-time checks for invalid arguments to the bit manipulation intrinsics.
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.
Enable generation of run-time checks for invalid modification of loop iteration variables.
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.
Enable generation of run-time checks for pointers and allocatables.
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.
Example: Assuming you have a file foo.f90, the command
gfortran -fcheck=all,no-array-temps foo.f90
will compile the file with all checks enabled as specified above except warnings for generated array temporaries.
-fbounds-check
¶Deprecated alias for -fcheck=bounds.
-ftail-call-workaround
¶-ftail-call-workaround=n
Some C interfaces to Fortran codes violate the gfortran ABI by omitting the hidden character length arguments as described in See Argument passing conventions. This can lead to crashes because pushing arguments for tail calls can overflow the stack.
To provide a workaround for existing binary packages, this option disables tail call optimization for gfortran procedures with character arguments. With -ftail-call-workaround=2 tail call optimization is disabled in all gfortran procedures with character arguments, with -ftail-call-workaround=1 or equivalent -ftail-call-workaround only in gfortran procedures with character arguments that call implicitly prototyped procedures.
Using this option can lead to problems including crashes due to insufficient stack space.
It is very strongly recommended to fix the code in question. The -fc-prototypes-external option can be used to generate prototypes which conform to gfortran’s ABI, for inclusion in the source code.
Support for this option will likely be withdrawn in a future release of gfortran.
The negative form, -fno-tail-call-workaround or equivalent -ftail-call-workaround=0, can be used to disable this option.
Default is currently -ftail-call-workaround, this will change in future releases.
-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 65536.
-fstack-arrays
¶Adding this option will make the Fortran compiler put all arrays of unknown size and array temporaries 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 unless -fmax-stack-var-size is specified.
-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.
-finline-arg-packing
¶When passing an assumed-shape argument of a procedure as actual
argument to an assumed-size or explicit size or as argument to a
procedure that does not have an explicit interface, the argument may
have to be packed, that is put into contiguous memory. An example is
the call to foo
in
subroutine foo(a) real, dimension(*) :: a end subroutine foo subroutine bar(b) real, dimension(:) :: b call foo(b) end subroutine bar
When -finline-arg-packing is in effect, this packing will be performed by inline code. This allows for more optimization while increasing code size.
-finline-arg-packing is implied by any of the -O options except when optimizing for size via -Os. If the code contains a very large number of argument that have to be packed, code size and also compilation time may become excessive. If that is the case, it may be better to disable this option. Instances of packing can be found by using -Warray-temporaries.
-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.
-finline-matmul-limit=n
¶When front-end optimization is active, some calls to the MATMUL
intrinsic function will be inlined. This may result in code size
increase if the size of the matrix cannot be determined at compile
time, as code for both cases is generated. Setting
-finline-matmul-limit=0
will disable inlining in all cases.
Setting this option with a value of n will produce inline code
for matrices with size up to n. 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. The -fblas-matmul-limit
can be used to change this value.
-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-derived
-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.
With -finit-derived, components of derived type variables will be initialized according to these flags. Components whose type is not covered by an explicit -finit-* flag will be treated as described above with -finit-local-zero.
These options do not initialize
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).
The -finit-integer option will parse the value into an
integer of type INTEGER(kind=C_LONG)
on the host. Said value
is then assigned to the integer variables in the Fortran code, which
might result in wraparound if the value is too large for the kind.
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 except -O0 and -Og. Optimizations enabled by this option include:
MATMUL
,
TRIM
in comparisons and assignments,
TRIM(a)
with a(1:LEN_TRIM(a))
and
.AND.
and .OR.
).
It can be deselected by specifying -fno-frontend-optimize.
-ffrontend-loop-interchange
¶Attempt to interchange loops in the Fortran front end where
profitable. Enabled by default by any -O option.
At the moment, this option only affects FORALL
and
DO CONCURRENT
statements with several forall triplets.
See Options for Code Generation Conventions in Using the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC), for information on more options
offered by the GBE
shared by gfortran
, gcc
, and other GNU compilers.
This option will generate C prototypes from BIND(C)
variable
declarations, types and procedure interfaces and writes them to
standard output. ENUM
is not yet supported.
The generated prototypes may need inclusion of an appropriate header,
such as <stdint.h>
or <stdlib.h>
. For types which are
not specified using the appropriate kind from the iso_c_binding
module, a warning is added as a comment to the code.
For function pointers, a pointer to a function returning int
without an explicit argument list is generated.
Example of use:
$ gfortran -fc-prototypes -fsyntax-only foo.f90 > foo.h
where the C code intended for interoperating with the Fortran code
then uses #include "foo.h"
.
This option will generate C prototypes from external functions and
subroutines and write them to standard output. This may be useful for
making sure that C bindings to Fortran code are correct. This option
does not generate prototypes for BIND(C)
procedures, use
-fc-prototypes for that.
The generated prototypes may need inclusion of an appropriate
header, such as <stdint.h>
or <stdlib.h>
.
This is primarily meant for legacy code to ensure that existing C
bindings match what gfortran
emits. The generated C
prototypes should be correct for the current version of the compiler,
but may not match what other compilers or earlier versions of
gfortran
need. For new developments, use of the
BIND(C)
features is recommended.
Example of use:
$ gfortran -fc-prototypes-external -fsyntax-only foo.f > foo.h
where the C code intended for interoperating with the Fortran code
then uses #include "foo.h"
.
gfortran
¶The gfortran
compiler currently does not make use of any environment
variables to control its operation above and beyond those
that affect the operation of gcc
.
See Environment Variables Affecting GCC in Using the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC), for information on environment variables.
See Runtime: Influencing runtime behavior with environment variables, for environment variables that affect the run-time behavior of programs compiled with GNU Fortran.
The behavior of the gfortran
can be influenced by
environment variables.
Malformed environment variables are silently ignored.
TMPDIR
—Directory for scratch filesGFORTRAN_STDIN_UNIT
—Unit number for standard inputGFORTRAN_STDOUT_UNIT
—Unit number for standard outputGFORTRAN_STDERR_UNIT
—Unit number for standard errorGFORTRAN_UNBUFFERED_ALL
—Do not buffer I/O on all unitsGFORTRAN_UNBUFFERED_PRECONNECTED
—Do not buffer I/O on preconnected unitsGFORTRAN_SHOW_LOCUS
—Show location for runtime errorsGFORTRAN_OPTIONAL_PLUS
—Print leading + where permittedGFORTRAN_LIST_SEPARATOR
—Separator for list outputGFORTRAN_CONVERT_UNIT
—Set conversion for unformatted I/OGFORTRAN_ERROR_BACKTRACE
—Show backtrace on run-time errorsGFORTRAN_FORMATTED_BUFFER_SIZE
—Set buffer size for formatted I/OGFORTRAN_UNFORMATTED_BUFFER_SIZE
—Set buffer size for unformatted I/OTMPDIR
—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.
TMPDIR
, if it exists.
GetTempPath
function. Alternatively, on the Cygwin target, the TMP
and
TEMP
environment variables, if they exist, in that order.
P_tmpdir
macro if it is defined, otherwise the directory
/tmp.
GFORTRAN_STDIN_UNIT
—Unit number for standard input ¶This environment variable can be used to select the unit number preconnected to standard input. This must be a positive integer. The default value is 5.
GFORTRAN_STDOUT_UNIT
—Unit number for standard output ¶This environment variable can be used to select the unit number preconnected to standard output. This must be a positive integer. The default value is 6.
GFORTRAN_STDERR_UNIT
—Unit number for standard error ¶This environment variable can be used to select the unit number preconnected to standard error. This must be a positive integer. The default value is 0.
GFORTRAN_UNBUFFERED_ALL
—Do not buffer I/O on all units ¶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.
GFORTRAN_UNBUFFERED_PRECONNECTED
—Do not buffer I/O on preconnected units ¶The environment variable named GFORTRAN_UNBUFFERED_PRECONNECTED
controls
whether I/O on a preconnected unit (i.e. STDOUT or STDERR) is unbuffered. If
the first letter is ‘y’, ‘Y’ or ‘1’, 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.
GFORTRAN_SHOW_LOCUS
—Show location for runtime errors ¶If the first letter is ‘y’, ‘Y’ or ‘1’, filename and line numbers for runtime errors are printed. If the first letter is ‘n’, ‘N’ or ‘0’, do not print filename and line numbers for runtime errors. The default is to print the location.
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.
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.
GFORTRAN_CONVERT_UNIT
—Set conversion 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 for
most systems 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.
For POWER systems which support -mabi=ieeelongdouble, there are additional options, which can be combined with the others with commas. Those are
R16_IEEE
Use IEEE 128-bit format for REAL(KIND=16)
.
R16_IBM
Use IBM long double
format for
REAL(KIND=16)
.
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.
'big_endian,r16_ibm'
Do all unformatted I/O in big-endian
mode and use IBM long double for output of REAL(KIND=16)
values.
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.
See CONVERT
specifier, for an alternative way to specify the
data representation for unformatted files. See Influencing runtime behavior, 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.
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.
GFORTRAN_FORMATTED_BUFFER_SIZE
—Set buffer size for formatted I/O ¶The GFORTRAN_FORMATTED_BUFFER_SIZE
environment variable
specifies buffer size in bytes to be used for formatted output.
The default value is 8192.
GFORTRAN_UNFORMATTED_BUFFER_SIZE
—Set buffer size for unformatted I/O ¶The GFORTRAN_UNFORMATTED_BUFFER_SIZE
environment variable
specifies buffer size in bytes to be used for unformatted output.
The default value is 131072.
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.
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 Options controlling Fortran dialect)
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 SELECTED_CHAR_KIND
— Choose character kind, SELECTED_INT_KIND
— Choose integer kind and
SELECTED_REAL_KIND
— Choose 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 ISO_FORTRAN_ENV
module. For C interoperability,
the kind parameters of the ISO_C_BINDING
module should be used.
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 Argument passing conventions and Interoperability with C.
The Fortran standard does not require the compiler to evaluate all parts of an
expression, if they do not contribute to the final result. For logical
expressions with .AND.
or .OR.
operators, in particular, GNU
Fortran will optimize out function calls (even to impure functions) if the
result of the expression can be established without them. However, since not
all compilers do that, and such an optimization can potentially modify the
program flow and subsequent results, GNU Fortran throws warnings for such
situations with the -Wfunction-elimination flag.
The Fortran standard does not specify what the result of the
MAX
and MIN
intrinsics are if one of the arguments is a
NaN
. Accordingly, the GNU Fortran compiler does not specify
that either, as this allows for faster and more compact code to be
generated. If the programmer wishes to take some specific action in
case one of the arguments is a NaN
, it is necessary to
explicitly test the arguments before calling MAX
or MIN
,
e.g. with the IEEE_IS_NAN
function from the intrinsic module
IEEE_ARITHMETIC
.
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.
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.
The GNU Fortran runtime library uses various C library functions that
depend on the locale, such as strtod
and snprintf
. In
order to work correctly in locale-aware programs that set the locale
using setlocale
, the locale is reset to the default “C”
locale while executing a formatted READ
or WRITE
statement. On targets supporting the POSIX 2008 per-thread locale
functions (e.g. newlocale
, uselocale
,
freelocale
), these are used and thus the global locale set
using setlocale
or the per-thread locales in other threads are
not affected. However, on targets lacking this functionality, the
global LC_NUMERIC locale is set to “C” during the formatted I/O.
Thus, on such targets it’s not safe to call setlocale
concurrently from another thread while a Fortran formatted I/O
operation is in progress. Also, other threads doing something
dependent on the LC_NUMERIC locale might not work correctly if a
formatted I/O operation is in progress in another thread.
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 Fortran standard says that if an OPEN
statement is executed
without an explicit ACTION=
specifier, the default value is
processor dependent. GNU Fortran behaves as follows:
ACTION='READWRITE'
ACTION='READ'
ACTION='WRITE'
This section documents the behavior of GNU Fortran for file operations on symbolic links, on systems that support them.
INQUIRE(FILE="foo",EXIST=ex)
will set ex to .true. if
foo is a symbolic link pointing to an existing file, and .false.
if foo points to an non-existing file (“dangling” symbolic link).
OPEN
statement with a STATUS="NEW"
specifier
on a symbolic link will result in an error condition, whether the symbolic
link points to an existing target or is dangling.
CLOSE
statement
with a STATUS="DELETE"
specifier will cause the symbolic link itself
to be deleted, not its target.
Unformatted sequential files are stored as logical records using record markers. Each logical record consists of one of more subrecords.
Each subrecord consists of a leading record marker, the data written by the user program, and a trailing record marker. The record markers are four-byte integers by default, and eight-byte integers if the -fmax-subrecord-length=8 option (which exists for backwards compability only) is in effect.
The representation of the record markers is that of unformatted files
given with the -fconvert option, the CONVERT
specifier
in an open statement or the GFORTRAN_CONVERT_UNIT
—Set conversion for unformatted I/O environment
variable.
The maximum number of bytes of user data in a subrecord is 2147483639 (2 GiB - 9) for a four-byte record marker. This limit can be lowered with the -fmax-subrecord-length option, although this is rarely useful. If the length of a logical record exceeds this limit, the data is distributed among several subrecords.
The absolute of the number stored in the record markers is the number of bytes of user data in the corresponding subrecord. If the leading record marker of a subrecord contains a negative number, another subrecord follows the current one. If the trailing record marker contains a negative number, then there is a preceding subrecord.
In the most simple case, with only one subrecord per logical record, both record markers contain the number of bytes of user data in the record.
The format for unformatted sequential data can be duplicated using unformatted stream, as shown in the example program for an unformatted record containing a single subrecord:
program main use iso_fortran_env, only: int32 implicit none integer(int32) :: i real, dimension(10) :: a, b call random_number(a) open (10,file='test.dat',form='unformatted',access='stream') inquire (iolength=i) a write (10) i, a, i close (10) open (10,file='test.dat',form='unformatted') read (10) b if (all (a == b)) print *,'success!' end program main
Asynchronous I/O is supported if the program is linked against the POSIX thread library. If that is not the case, all I/O is performed as synchronous. On systems which do not support pthread condition variables, such as AIX, I/O is also performed as synchronous.
On some systems, such as Darwin or Solaris, the POSIX thread library is always linked in, so asynchronous I/O is always performed. On other sytems, such as Linux, it is necessary to specify -pthread, -lpthread or -fopenmp during the linking step.
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.
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, -std=f2008, or -std=f2018 disables both types of extensions, and -std=legacy allows both without warning. The special compile flag -fdec enables additional compatibility extensions along with those enabled by -std=legacy.

attributesGNU 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) REAL(KIND=dbl) :: x
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.
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.
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)
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. A comma with no following format
decriptor is permited if the -fdec-blank-format-item is given on
the command line. This is considered non-conforming code and is
discouraged.
PRINT 10, 2, 3 10 FORMAT ('FOO='I1' BAR='I2) print 20, 5, 6 20 FORMAT (I3, I3,)
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 10 FORMAT ('F4')
F
, G
and I
format descriptors ¶To support legacy codes, GNU Fortran allows width to be omitted from format specifications if and only if -fdec-format-defaults is given on the command line. Default widths will be used. This is considered non-conforming code and is discouraged.
REAL :: value1 INTEGER :: value2 WRITE(*,10) value1, value1, value2 10 FORMAT ('F, G, I')
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.
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.
Besides decimal constants, Fortran also supports binary (b
),
octal (o
) and hexadecimal (z
) integer constants. The
syntax is: ‘prefix quote digits quote’, where the prefix is
either b
, o
or z
, quote is either '
or
"
and the digits are 0
or 1
for binary,
between 0
and 7
for octal, and between 0
and
F
for hexadecimal. (Example: b'01011101'
.)
Up to Fortran 95, BOZ literal constants were only allowed to initialize
integer variables in DATA statements. Since Fortran 2003 BOZ literal
constants are also allowed as actual arguments to the REAL
,
DBLE
, INT
and CMPLX
intrinsic functions.
The BOZ literal constant is simply a string of bits, which is padded
or truncated as needed, during conversion to a numeric type. The
Fortran standard states that the treatment of the sign bit is processor
dependent. Gfortran interprets the sign bit as a user would expect.
As a deprecated extension, GNU Fortran allows hexadecimal BOZ literal
constants to be specified using the X
prefix. That the BOZ literal
constant can also be specified by adding a suffix to the string, for
example, Z'ABC'
and 'ABC'X
are equivalent. Additionally,
as extension, BOZ literals are permitted in some contexts outside of
DATA
and the intrinsic functions listed in the Fortran standard.
Use -fallow-invalid-boz to enable the extension.
As an extension, GNU Fortran allows the use of REAL
expressions
or variables as array indices.
As an extension, GNU Fortran allows unary plus and unary minus operators to appear as the second operand of binary arithmetic operators without the need for parenthesis.
X = Y * -Z
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.
GNU Fortran supports Hollerith constants in assignments, DATA
statements, function and subroutine arguments. 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
), LOGICAL
or CHARACTER
variable.
The constant will be padded with spaces 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)
Examples of Hollerith constants:
integer*4 a a = 0H ! Invalid, at least one character is needed. a = 4HAB12 ! Valid a = 8H12345678 ! Valid, but the Hollerith constant will be truncated. a = 3Hxyz ! Valid, but the Hollerith constant will be padded.
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
The use of the -fdec option extends support of Hollerith constants to comparisons:
integer*4 a a = 4hABCD if (a .ne. 4habcd) then write(*,*) "no match" end if
Supported types are numeric (INTEGER
, REAL
, or COMPLEX
),
and CHARACTER
.
Allowing character literals to be used in a similar way to Hollerith constants
is a non-standard extension. This feature is enabled using
-fdec-char-conversions and only applies to character literals of kind=1
.
Character literals can be used in DATA
statements and assignments with
numeric (INTEGER
, REAL
, or COMPLEX
) or LOGICAL
variables. Like Hollerith constants they are copied byte-wise fashion. The
constant will be padded with spaces or truncated to fit the size of the
variable in which it is stored.
Examples:
integer*4 x data x / 'abcd' / x = 'A' ! Will be padded. x = 'ab1234' ! Will be truncated.
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.
If an assumed-size array is permitted within the scoping unit, 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. 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 MALLOC
— Allocate dynamic memory).
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.
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.
See GFORTRAN_CONVERT_UNIT
—Set conversion for unformatted I/O, for an alternative way of specifying
the data format via an environment variable.
Valid values for CONVERT
on most systems 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.
On POWER systems which support -mabi=ieeelongdouble, there are additional options, which can be combined with the others with commas. Those are
CONVERT='R16_IEEE'
Use IEEE 128-bit format for
REAL(KIND=16)
.
CONVERT='R16_IBM'
Use IBM long double
format for
realREAL(KIND=16)
.
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.
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 v4.5.
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 Offloading and Multi Processing Runtime Library
libgomp in GNU Offloading and Multi Processing Runtime
Library.
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:
-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.
OpenACC is an application programming interface (API) that supports offloading of code to accelerator devices. 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 OpenACC Application Programming Interface v2.6.
To enable the processing of the OpenACC directive !$acc
in
free-form source code; the c$acc
, *$acc
and !$acc
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 -fopenacc. This also arranges for automatic linking of
the GNU Offloading and Multi Processing Runtime Library
libgomp in GNU Offloading and Multi Processing Runtime
Library.
The OpenACC Fortran runtime library routines are provided both in a
form of a Fortran 90 module named openacc
and in a form of a
Fortran include
file named openacc_lib.h.
%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 https://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.
Some legacy codes rely on allowing READ
or WRITE
after the
EOF file marker in order to find the end of a file. GNU Fortran normally
rejects these codes with a run-time error message and suggests the user
consider BACKSPACE
or REWIND
to properly position
the file before the EOF marker. As an extension, the run-time error may
be disabled using -std=legacy.
STRUCTURE
and RECORD
¶Record structures are a pre-Fortran-90 vendor extension to create user-defined aggregate data types. Support for record structures in GNU Fortran can be enabled with the -fdec-structure compile flag. If you have a choice, you should instead use 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)
GNU Fortran implements STRUCTURES like derived types with the following rules and exceptions:
SEQUENCE
attribute.
Otherwise they may contain no specifiers.
%FILL
.
This will create an anonymous component which cannot be accessed but occupies
space just as if a component of the same type was declared in its place, useful
for alignment purposes. As an example, the following structure will consist
of at least sixteen bytes:
structure /padded/ character(4) start character(8) %FILL character(4) end end structure
structure /header/ ! ... end structure record /header/ header
structure /type-name/ ... structure [/<type-name>/] <field-list> ...
The type name may be ommitted, in which case the structure type itself is anonymous, and other structures of the same type cannot be instantiated. The following shows some examples:
structure /appointment/ ! nested structure definition: app_time is an array of two 'time' structure /time/ app_time (2) integer(1) hour, minute end structure character(10) memo end structure ! The 'time' structure is still usable record /time/ now now = time(5, 30) ... structure /appointment/ ! anonymous nested structure definition structure start, end integer(1) hour, minute end structure character(10) memo end structure
UNION
blocks. For more detail see the
section on UNION
and MAP
.
<literal-integer> * <constant-initializer>
. The value of the integer
indicates the number of times to repeat the constant initializer when expanding
the initializer list.
UNION
and MAP
¶Unions are an old vendor extension which were commonly used with the
non-standard STRUCTURE
and RECORD
extensions. Use of UNION
and
MAP
is automatically enabled with -fdec-structure.
A UNION
declaration occurs within a structure; within the definition of
each union is a number of MAP
blocks. Each MAP
shares storage
with its sibling maps (in the same union), and the size of the union is the
size of the largest map within it, just as with unions in C. The major
difference is that component references do not indicate which union or map the
component is in (the compiler gets to figure that out).
Here is a small example:
structure /myunion/ union map character(2) w0, w1, w2 end map map character(6) long end map end union end structure record /myunion/ rec ! After this assignment... rec.long = 'hello!' ! The following is true: ! rec.w0 === 'he' ! rec.w1 === 'll' ! rec.w2 === 'o!'
The two maps share memory, and the size of the union is ultimately six bytes:
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 Byte offset ------------------------------- | | | | | | | ------------------------------- ^ W0 ^ W1 ^ W2 ^ \-------/ \-------/ \-------/ ^ LONG ^ \---------------------------/
Following is an example mirroring the layout of an Intel x86_64 register:
structure /reg/ union ! U0 ! rax map character(16) rx end map map character(8) rh ! rah union ! U1 map character(8) rl ! ral end map map character(8) ex ! eax end map map character(4) eh ! eah union ! U2 map character(4) el ! eal end map map character(4) x ! ax end map map character(2) h ! ah character(2) l ! al end map end union end map end union end map end union end structure record /reg/ a ! After this assignment... a.rx = 'AAAAAAAA.BBB.C.D' ! The following is true: a.rx === 'AAAAAAAA.BBB.C.D' a.rh === 'AAAAAAAA' a.rl === '.BBB.C.D' a.ex === '.BBB.C.D' a.eh === '.BBB' a.el === '.C.D' a.x === '.C.D' a.h === '.C' a.l === '.D'
Similar to the D/C prefixes to real functions to specify the input/output types, GNU Fortran offers B/I/J/K prefixes to integer functions for compatibility with DEC programs. The types implied by each are:
B
-INTEGER(kind=1)
I
-INTEGER(kind=2)
J
-INTEGER(kind=4)
K
-INTEGER(kind=8)
GNU Fortran supports these with the flag -fdec-intrinsic-ints. Intrinsics for which prefixed versions are available and in what form are noted in Intrinsic Procedures. The complete list of supported intrinsics is here:
Intrinsic | B | I | J | K |
---|---|---|---|---|
| BABS | IIABS | JIABS | KIABS |
| BBTEST | BITEST | BJTEST | BKTEST |
| BIAND | IIAND | JIAND | KIAND |
| BBCLR | IIBCLR | JIBCLR | KIBCLR |
| BBITS | IIBITS | JIBITS | KIBITS |
| BBSET | IIBSET | JIBSET | KIBSET |
| BIEOR | IIEOR | JIEOR | KIEOR |
| BIOR | IIOR | JIOR | KIOR |
| BSHFT | IISHFT | JISHFT | KISHFT |
| BSHFTC | IISHFTC | JISHFTC | KISHFTC |
| BMOD | IMOD | JMOD | KMOD |
| BNOT | INOT | JNOT | KNOT |
| -- | FLOATI | FLOATJ | FLOATK |
AUTOMATIC
and STATIC
attributes ¶With -fdec-static GNU Fortran supports the DEC extended attributes
STATIC
and AUTOMATIC
to provide explicit specification of entity
storage. These follow the syntax of the Fortran standard SAVE
attribute.
STATIC
is exactly equivalent to SAVE
, and specifies that
an entity should be allocated in static memory. As an example, STATIC
local variables will retain their values across multiple calls to a function.
Entities marked AUTOMATIC
will be stack automatic whenever possible.
AUTOMATIC
is the default for local variables smaller than
-fmax-stack-var-size, unless -fno-automatic is given. This
attribute overrides -fno-automatic, -fmax-stack-var-size, and
blanket SAVE
statements.
Examples:
subroutine f integer, automatic :: i ! automatic variable integer x, y ! static variables save ... endsubroutine
subroutine f integer a, b, c, x, y, z static :: x save y automatic z, c ! a, b, c, and z are automatic ! x and y are static endsubroutine
! Compiled with -fno-automatic subroutine f integer a, b, c, d automatic :: a ! a is automatic; b, c, and d are static endsubroutine
GNU Fortran supports an extended list of mathematical intrinsics with the compile flag -fdec-math for compatability with legacy code. These intrinsics are described fully in Intrinsic Procedures where it is noted that they are extensions and should be avoided whenever possible.
Specifically, -fdec-math enables the COTAN
— Cotangent function intrinsic, and
trigonometric intrinsics which accept or produce values in degrees instead of
radians. Here is a summary of the new intrinsics:
* Enabled with -fdec-math.
For advanced users, it may be important to know the implementation of these functions. They are simply wrappers around the standard radian functions, which have more accurate builtin versions. These functions convert their arguments (or results) to degrees (or radians) by taking the value modulus 360 (or 2*pi) and then multiplying it by a constant radian-to-degree (or degree-to-radian) factor, as appropriate. The factor is computed at compile-time as 180/pi (or pi/180).
Historically, legacy compilers allowed insertion of form feed characters (’\f’, ASCII 0xC) at the beginning of lines for formatted output to line printers, though the Fortran standard does not mention this. GNU Fortran supports the interpretation of form feed characters in source as whitespace for compatibility.
For compatibility, GNU Fortran will interpret TYPE
statements as
PRINT
statements with the flag -fdec. With this flag asserted,
the following two examples are equivalent:
TYPE *, 'hello world'
PRINT *, 'hello world'
Normally %LOC
is allowed only in parameter lists. However the intrinsic
function LOC
does the same thing, and is usable as the right-hand-side of
assignments. For compatibility, GNU Fortran supports the use of %LOC
as
an alias for the builtin LOC
with -std=legacy. With this
feature enabled the following two examples are equivalent:
integer :: i, l l = %loc(i) call sub(l)
integer :: i call sub(%loc(i))
GNU Fortran supports .XOR.
as a logical operator with -std=legacy
for compatibility with legacy code. .XOR.
is equivalent to
.NEQV.
. That is, the output is true if and only if the inputs differ.
With -fdec, GNU Fortran relaxes the type constraints on logical operators to allow integer operands, and performs the corresponding bitwise operation instead. This flag is for compatibility only, and should be avoided in new code. Consider:
INTEGER :: i, j i = z'33' j = z'cc' print *, i .AND. j
In this example, compiled with -fdec, GNU Fortran will
replace the .AND.
operation with a call to the intrinsic
function, yielding the bitwise-and of IAND
— Bitwise logical andi
and j
.
Note that this conversion will occur if at least one operand is of integral
type. As a result, a logical operand will be converted to an integer when the
other operand is an integer in a logical operation. In this case,
.TRUE.
is converted to 1
and .FALSE.
to 0
.
Here is the mapping of logical operator to bitwise intrinsic used with -fdec:
Operator | Intrinsic | Bitwise operation |
---|---|---|
.NOT. |
| complement |
.AND. |
| intersection |
.OR. |
| union |
.NEQV. |
| exclusive or |
.EQV. |
| complement of exclusive or |
GNU Fortran supports the additional legacy I/O specifiers
CARRIAGECONTROL
, READONLY
, and SHARE
with the
compile flag -fdec, for compatibility.
CARRIAGECONTROL
The CARRIAGECONTROL
specifier allows a user to control line
termination settings between output records for an I/O unit. The specifier has
no meaning for readonly files. When CARRAIGECONTROL
is specified upon
opening a unit for formatted writing, the exact CARRIAGECONTROL
setting
determines what characters to write between output records. The syntax is:
OPEN(..., CARRIAGECONTROL=cc)
Where cc is a character expression that evaluates to one of the following values:
'LIST' | One line feed between records (default) |
'FORTRAN' | Legacy interpretation of the first character (see below) |
'NONE' | No separator between records |
With CARRIAGECONTROL='FORTRAN'
, when a record is written, the first
character of the input record is not written, and instead determines the output
record separator as follows:
Leading character | Meaning | Output separating character(s) |
---|---|---|
'+' | Overprinting | Carriage return only |
'-' | New line | Line feed and carriage return |
'0' | Skip line | Two line feeds and carriage return |
'1' | New page | Form feed and carriage return |
'$' | Prompting | Line feed (no carriage return) |
CHAR(0) | Overprinting (no advance) | None |
READONLY
The READONLY
specifier may be given upon opening a unit, and is
equivalent to specifying ACTION='READ'
, except that the file may not be
deleted on close (i.e. CLOSE
with STATUS="DELETE"
). The syntax
is:
OPEN(..., READONLY)
SHARE
The SHARE
specifier allows system-level locking on a unit upon opening
it for controlled access from multiple processes/threads. The SHARE
specifier has several forms:
OPEN(..., SHARE=sh) OPEN(..., SHARED) OPEN(..., NOSHARED)
Where sh in the first form is a character expression that evaluates to a value as seen in the table below. The latter two forms are aliases for particular values of sh:
Explicit form | Short form | Meaning |
---|---|---|
SHARE='DENYRW' | NOSHARED | Exclusive (write) lock |
SHARE='DENYNONE' | SHARED | Shared (read) lock |
In general only one process may hold an exclusive (write) lock for a given file at a time, whereas many processes may hold shared (read) locks for the same file.
The behavior of locking may vary with your operating system. On POSIX systems,
locking is implemented with fcntl
. Consult your corresponding operating
system’s manual pages for further details. Locking via SHARE=
is not
supported on other systems.
For compatibility, GNU Fortran supports legacy PARAMETER statements without parentheses with -std=legacy. A warning is emitted if used with -std=gnu, and an error is acknowledged with a real Fortran standard flag (-std=f95, etc...). These statements take the following form:
implicit real (E) parameter e = 2.718282 real c parameter c = 3.0e8
For compatibility, GNU Fortran supports a default exponent of zero in real
constants with -fdec. For example, 9e
would be
interpreted as 9e0
, rather than an error.
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.
ENCODE
and DECODE
statementsFORMAT
expressionsCOMMON
blocksOPEN( ... NAME=)
Q
edit descriptorENCODE
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))
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
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.
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.
OPEN( ... NAME=)
¶Some Fortran compilers, including g77
, let the user declare
OPEN( ... NAME=)
. This is
invalid standard Fortran syntax and is not supported by
gfortran
. OPEN( ... NAME=)
should be replaced
with OPEN( ... FILE=)
.
Q
edit descriptor ¶Some Fortran compilers provide the Q
edit descriptor, which
transfers the number of characters left within an input record into an
integer variable.
A direct replacement of the Q
edit descriptor is not available
in gfortran
. How to replicate its functionality using
standard-conforming code depends on what the intent of the original
code is.
Options to replace Q
may be to read the whole line into a
character variable and then counting the number of non-blank
characters left using LEN_TRIM
. Another method may be to use
formatted stream, read the data up to the position where the Q
descriptor occurred, use INQUIRE
to get the file position,
count the characters up to the next NEW_LINE
and then start
reading from the position marked previously.
This chapter is about mixed-language interoperability, but also applies if you link Fortran code compiled by different compilers. In most cases, use of the C Binding features of the Fortran 2003 and later standards is sufficient.
For example, it is possible to mix Fortran code with C++ code as well
as C, if you declare the interface functions as extern "C"
on
the C++ side and BIND(C)
on the Fortran side, and follow the
rules for interoperability with C. Note that you cannot manipulate
C++ class objects in Fortran or vice versa except as opaque pointers.
You can use the gfortran
command to link both Fortran and
non-Fortran code into the same program, or you can use gcc
or g++
if you also add an explicit -lgfortran option
to link with the Fortran library. If your main program is written in
C or some other language instead of Fortran, see
Non-Fortran Main Program, below.
Since Fortran 2003 (ISO/IEC 1539-1:2004(E)) there is a
standardized way to generate procedure and derived-type
declarations and global variables that 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]
).
In order to ensure that exactly the same variable type and kind is used
in C and Fortran, you should use the named constants for kind parameters
that are defined in the ISO_C_BINDING
intrinsic module.
That module contains named constants of character type representing
the escaped special characters in C, such as newline.
For a list of the constants, see 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
.)
For compatibility of derived types with struct
, 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.
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.
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.
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 Working with C 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 you want 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, you 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, you need 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 Intrinsic Procedures.
C pointers are represented in Fortran via the special opaque derived
type type(c_ptr)
(with private components). C pointers are distinct
from Fortran objects with the POINTER
attribute. 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, and you can also use library routines
to access Fortran pointers from C. See Further Interoperability of Fortran with C.
Here is an example of using C pointers in Fortran:
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
GNU Fortran implements the Technical Specification ISO/IEC TS
29113:2012, which extends the interoperability support of Fortran 2003
and Fortran 2008 and is now part of the 2018 Fortran standard.
Besides removing some restrictions and constraints, the Technical
Specification adds assumed-type (TYPE(*)
) and assumed-rank
(DIMENSION(..)
) variables and allows for interoperability of
assumed-shape, assumed-rank, and deferred-shape arrays, as well as
allocatables and pointers. Objects of these types are passed to
BIND(C)
functions as descriptors with a standard interface,
declared in the header file <ISO_Fortran_binding.h>
.
Note: Currently, GNU Fortran does not use internally the array descriptor
(dope vector) as specified in the Technical Specification, but uses
an array descriptor with different fields in functions without the
BIND(C)
attribute. Arguments to functions marked BIND(C)
are converted to the specified form. If you need to access GNU Fortran’s
internal array descriptor, you can use the Chasm Language Interoperability
Tools, http://chasm-interop.sourceforge.net/.
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 C Extensions in Using the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) 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
DEPRECATED
– print a warning when using a such-tagged
deprecated procedure, variable or parameter; the warning can be suppressed
with -Wno-deprecated-declarations.
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.
The syntax of the directive is
!GCC$ unroll N
You can use this directive to control how many times a loop should be unrolled.
It must be placed immediately before a DO
loop and applies only to the
loop that follows. N is an integer constant specifying the unrolling factor.
The values of 0 and 1 block any unrolling of the loop.
The syntax of the directive is
!GCC$ BUILTIN (B) attributes simd FLAGS IF('target')
You can use this directive to define which middle-end built-ins provide vector
implementations. B
is name of the middle-end built-in. FLAGS
are optional and must be either "(inbranch)" or "(notinbranch)".
IF
statement is optional and is used to filter multilib ABIs
for the built-in that should be vectorized. Example usage:
!GCC$ builtin (sinf) attributes simd (notinbranch) if('x86_64')
The purpose of the directive is to provide an API among the GCC compiler and the GNU C Library which would define vector implementations of math routines.
The syntax of the directive is
!GCC$ ivdep
This directive tells the compiler to ignore vector dependencies in the
following loop. It must be placed immediately before a DO
loop
and applies only to the loop that follows.
Sometimes the compiler may not have sufficient information to decide whether a particular loop is vectorizable due to potential dependencies between iterations. The purpose of the directive is to tell the compiler that vectorization is safe.
This directive is intended for annotation of existing code. For new code it is recommended to consider OpenMP SIMD directives as potential alternative.
The syntax of the directive is
!GCC$ vector
This directive tells the compiler to vectorize the following loop. It
must be placed immediately before a DO
loop and applies only to
the loop that follows.
The syntax of the directive is
!GCC$ novector
This directive tells the compiler to not vectorize the following loop.
It must be placed immediately before a DO
loop and applies only
to the loop that follows.
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.

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 see Interoperability with C.
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
see 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.
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 a hidden argument at the end of the argument list. For
deferred-length strings, the value is passed by reference, otherwise
by value. The character length has the C type size_t
(or
INTEGER(kind=C_SIZE_T)
in Fortran). Note that this is
different to older versions of the GNU Fortran compiler, where the
type of the hidden character length argument was a C int
. In
order to retain compatibility with older versions, one can e.g. for
the following Fortran procedure
subroutine fstrlen (s, a) character(len=*) :: s integer :: a print*, len(s) end subroutine fstrlen
define the corresponding C prototype as follows:
#if __GNUC__ > 7 typedef size_t fortran_charlen_t; #else typedef int fortran_charlen_t; #endif void fstrlen_ (char*, int*, fortran_charlen_t);
In order to avoid such compiler-specific details, for new code it is instead recommended to use the ISO_C_BINDING feature.
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 opaque 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
CHARACTER
and no C binding is used
CHARACTER
or a nonallocatable coarray dummy
argument, followed by the hidden arguments of the next dummy argument
of such a type
caf_token_t
¶Typedef of type void *
on the compiler side. Can be any data
type on the library side.
caf_register_t
¶Indicates which kind of coarray variable should be registered.
typedef enum caf_register_t { CAF_REGTYPE_COARRAY_STATIC, CAF_REGTYPE_COARRAY_ALLOC, CAF_REGTYPE_LOCK_STATIC, CAF_REGTYPE_LOCK_ALLOC, CAF_REGTYPE_CRITICAL, CAF_REGTYPE_EVENT_STATIC, CAF_REGTYPE_EVENT_ALLOC, CAF_REGTYPE_COARRAY_ALLOC_REGISTER_ONLY, CAF_REGTYPE_COARRAY_ALLOC_ALLOCATE_ONLY } caf_register_t;
The values CAF_REGTYPE_COARRAY_ALLOC_REGISTER_ONLY
and
CAF_REGTYPE_COARRAY_ALLOC_ALLOCATE_ONLY
are for allocatable components
in derived type coarrays only. The first one sets up the token without
allocating memory for allocatable component. The latter one only allocates the
memory for an allocatable component in a derived type coarray. The token
needs to be setup previously by the REGISTER_ONLY. This allows to have
allocatable components un-allocated on some images. The status whether an
allocatable component is allocated on a remote image can be queried by
_caf_is_present
which used internally by the ALLOCATED
intrinsic.
caf_deregister_t
¶typedef enum caf_deregister_t { CAF_DEREGTYPE_COARRAY_DEREGISTER, CAF_DEREGTYPE_COARRAY_DEALLOCATE_ONLY } caf_deregister_t;
Allows to specifiy the type of deregistration of a coarray object. The
CAF_DEREGTYPE_COARRAY_DEALLOCATE_ONLY
flag is only allowed for
allocatable components in derived type coarrays.
caf_reference_t
¶The structure used for implementing arbitrary reference chains.
A CAF_REFERENCE_T
allows to specify a component reference or any kind
of array reference of any rank supported by gfortran. For array references all
kinds as known by the compiler/Fortran standard are supported indicated by
a MODE
.

The references make up a single linked list of reference operations. The
NEXT
member links to the next reference or NULL to indicate the end of
the chain. Component and array refs can be arbitrarily mixed as long as they
comply to the Fortran standard.
NOTES
The member STATIC_ARRAY_TYPE
is used only when the TYPE
is
CAF_REF_STATIC_ARRAY
. The member gives the type of the data referenced.
Because no array descriptor is available for a descriptor-less array and
type conversion still needs to take place the type is transported here.
At the moment CAF_ARR_REF_VECTOR
is not implemented in the front end for
descriptor-less arrays. The library caf_single has untested support for it.

— Initialiation function ¶This function is called at startup of the program before the Fortran main
program, if the latter has been compiled with -fcoarray=lib.
It takes as arguments the command-line arguments of the program. It is
permitted to pass two NULL
pointers as argument; if non-NULL
,
the library is permitted to modify the arguments.
void _gfortran_caf_init (int *argc, char ***argv)
argc | intent(inout) An integer pointer with the number of
arguments passed to the program or NULL . |
argv | intent(inout) A pointer to an array of strings with the
command-line arguments or NULL . |
The function is modelled after the initialization function of the Message Passing Interface (MPI) specification. Due to the way coarray registration works, it might not be the first call to the library. If the main program is not written in Fortran and only a library uses coarrays, it can happen that this function is never called. Therefore, it is recommended that the library does not rely on the passed arguments and whether the call has been done.
_gfortran_caf_finish
— Finalization function ¶This function is called at the end of the Fortran main program, if it has been compiled with the -fcoarray=lib option.
void _gfortran_caf_finish (void)
For non-Fortran programs, it is recommended to call the function at the end of the main program. To ensure that the shutdown is also performed for programs where this function is not explicitly invoked, for instance non-Fortran programs or calls to the system’s exit() function, the library can use a destructor function. Note that programs can also be terminated using the STOP and ERROR STOP statements; those use different library calls.
_gfortran_caf_this_image
— Querying the image number ¶This function returns the current image number, which is a positive number.
int _gfortran_caf_this_image (int distance)
distance | As specified for the this_image intrinsic
in TS18508. Shall be a non-negative number. |
If the Fortran intrinsic this_image
is invoked without an argument, which
is the only permitted form in Fortran 2008, GCC passes 0
as
first argument.
_gfortran_caf_num_images
— Querying the maximal number of images ¶This function returns the number of images in the current team, if distance is 0 or the number of images in the parent team at the specified distance. If failed is -1, the function returns the number of all images at the specified distance; if it is 0, the function returns the number of nonfailed images, and if it is 1, it returns the number of failed images.
int _gfortran_caf_num_images(int distance, int failed)
distance | the distance from this image to the ancestor. Shall be positive. |
failed | shall be -1, 0, or 1 |
This function follows TS18508. If the num_image intrinsic has no arguments,
then the compiler passes distance=0
and failed=-1
to the function.
_gfortran_caf_image_status
— Query the status of an image ¶Get the status of the image given by the id image of the team given by
team. Valid results are zero, for image is ok, STAT_STOPPED_IMAGE
from the ISO_FORTRAN_ENV module to indicate that the image has been stopped and
STAT_FAILED_IMAGE
also from ISO_FORTRAN_ENV to indicate that the image
has executed a FAIL IMAGE
statement.
int _gfortran_caf_image_status (int image, caf_team_t * team)
image | the positive scalar id of the image in the current TEAM. |
team | optional; team on the which the inquiry is to be performed. |
This function follows TS18508. Because team-functionality is not yet implemented a null-pointer is passed for the team argument at the moment.
_gfortran_caf_failed_images
— Get an array of the indexes of the failed images ¶Get an array of image indexes in the current team that have failed. The array is sorted ascendingly. When team is not provided the current team is to be used. When kind is provided then the resulting array is of that integer kind else it is of default integer kind. The returns an unallocated size zero array when no images have failed.
int _gfortran_caf_failed_images (caf_team_t * team, int * kind)
team | optional; team on the which the inquiry is to be performed. |
image | optional; the kind of the resulting integer array. |
This function follows TS18508. Because team-functionality is not yet implemented a null-pointer is passed for the team argument at the moment.
_gfortran_caf_stopped_images
— Get an array of the indexes of the stopped images ¶Get an array of image indexes in the current team that have stopped. The array is sorted ascendingly. When team is not provided the current team is to be used. When kind is provided then the resulting array is of that integer kind else it is of default integer kind. The returns an unallocated size zero array when no images have failed.
int _gfortran_caf_stopped_images (caf_team_t * team, int * kind)
team | optional; team on the which the inquiry is to be performed. |
image | optional; the kind of the resulting integer array. |
This function follows TS18508. Because team-functionality is not yet implemented a null-pointer is passed for the team argument at the moment.
_gfortran_caf_register
— Registering coarrays ¶Registers memory for a coarray and creates a token to identify the coarray. The
routine is called for both coarrays with SAVE
attribute and using an
explicit ALLOCATE
statement. If an error occurs and STAT is a
NULL
pointer, the function shall abort with printing an error message
and starting the error termination. If no error occurs and STAT is
present, it shall be set to zero. Otherwise, it shall be set to a positive
value and, if not-NULL
, ERRMSG shall be set to a string describing
the failure. The routine shall register the memory provided in the
DATA
-component of the array descriptor DESC, when that component
is non-NULL
, else it shall allocate sufficient memory and provide a
pointer to it in the DATA
-component of DESC. The array descriptor
has rank zero, when a scalar object is to be registered and the array
descriptor may be invalid after the call to _gfortran_caf_register
.
When an array is to be allocated the descriptor persists.
For CAF_REGTYPE_COARRAY_STATIC
and CAF_REGTYPE_COARRAY_ALLOC
,
the passed size is the byte size requested. For CAF_REGTYPE_LOCK_STATIC
,
CAF_REGTYPE_LOCK_ALLOC
and CAF_REGTYPE_CRITICAL
it is the array
size or one for a scalar.
When CAF_REGTYPE_COARRAY_ALLOC_REGISTER_ONLY
is used, then only a token
for an allocatable or pointer component is created. The SIZE
parameter
is not used then. On the contrary when
CAF_REGTYPE_COARRAY_ALLOC_ALLOCATE_ONLY
is specified, then the
token needs to be registered by a previous call with regtype
CAF_REGTYPE_COARRAY_ALLOC_REGISTER_ONLY
and either the memory specified
in the DESC’s data-ptr is registered or allocate when the data-ptr is
NULL
.
void caf_register (size_t size, caf_register_t type, caf_token_t *token,
gfc_descriptor_t *desc, int *stat, char *errmsg, size_t errmsg_len)
size | For normal coarrays, the byte size of the coarray to be allocated; for lock types and event types, the number of elements. |
type | one of the caf_register_t types. |
token | intent(out) An opaque pointer identifying the coarray. |
desc | intent(inout) The (pseudo) array descriptor. |
stat | intent(out) For allocatable coarrays, stores the STAT=;
may be NULL |
errmsg | intent(out) When an error occurs, this will be set to
an error message; may be NULL |
errmsg_len | the buffer size of errmsg. |
Nonallocatable coarrays have to be registered prior use from remote images. In order to guarantee this, they have to be registered before the main program. This can be achieved by creating constructor functions. That is what GCC does such that also for nonallocatable coarrays the memory is allocated and no static memory is used. The token permits to identify the coarray; to the processor, the token is a nonaliasing pointer. The library can, for instance, store the base address of the coarray in the token, some handle or a more complicated struct. The library may also store the array descriptor DESC when its rank is non-zero.
For lock types, the value shall only be used for checking the allocation
status. Note that for critical blocks, the locking is only required on one
image; in the locking statement, the processor shall always pass an
image index of one for critical-block lock variables
(CAF_REGTYPE_CRITICAL
). For lock types and critical-block variables,
the initial value shall be unlocked (or, respectively, not in critical
section) such as the value false; for event types, the initial state should
be no event, e.g. zero.
_gfortran_caf_deregister
— Deregistering coarrays ¶Called to free or deregister the memory of a coarray; the processor calls this
function for automatic and explicit deallocation. In case of an error, this
function shall fail with an error message, unless the STAT variable is
not null. The library is only expected to free memory it allocated itself
during a call to _gfortran_caf_register
.
void caf_deregister (caf_token_t *token, caf_deregister_t type,
int *stat, char *errmsg, size_t errmsg_len)
token | the token to free. |
type | the type of action to take for the coarray. A
CAF_DEREGTYPE_COARRAY_DEALLOCATE_ONLY is allowed only for allocatable or
pointer components of derived type coarrays. The action only deallocates the
local memory without deleting the token. |
stat | intent(out) Stores the STAT=; may be NULL |
errmsg | intent(out) When an error occurs, this will be set to an error message; may be NULL |
errmsg_len | the buffer size of errmsg. |
For nonalloatable coarrays this function is never called. If a cleanup is required, it has to be handled via the finish, stop and error stop functions, and via destructors.
_gfortran_caf_is_present
— Query whether an allocatable or pointer component in a derived type coarray is allocated ¶Used to query the coarray library whether an allocatable component in a derived type coarray is allocated on a remote image.
void _gfortran_caf_is_present (caf_token_t token, int image_index,
gfc_reference_t *ref)
token | An opaque pointer identifying the coarray. |
image_index | The ID of the remote image; must be a positive number. |
ref | A chain of references to address the allocatable or pointer component in the derived type coarray. The object reference needs to be a scalar or a full array reference, respectively. |
_gfortran_caf_send
— Sending data from a local image to a remote image ¶Called to send a scalar, an array section or a whole array from a local to a remote image identified by the image_index.
void _gfortran_caf_send (caf_token_t token, size_t offset,
int image_index, gfc_descriptor_t *dest, caf_vector_t *dst_vector,
gfc_descriptor_t *src, int dst_kind, int src_kind, bool may_require_tmp,
int *stat)
token | intent(in) An opaque pointer identifying the coarray. |
offset | intent(in) By which amount of bytes the actual data is shifted compared to the base address of the coarray. |
image_index | intent(in) The ID of the remote image; must be a positive number. |
dest | intent(in) Array descriptor for the remote image for the
bounds and the size. The base_addr shall not be accessed. |
dst_vector | intent(in) If not NULL, it contains the vector subscript of the destination array; the values are relative to the dimension triplet of the dest argument. |
src | intent(in) Array descriptor of the local array to be transferred to the remote image |
dst_kind | intent(in) Kind of the destination argument |
src_kind | intent(in) Kind of the source argument |
may_require_tmp | intent(in) The variable is false when
it is known at compile time that the dest and src either cannot
overlap or overlap (fully or partially) such that walking src and
dest in element wise element order (honoring the stride value) will not
lead to wrong results. Otherwise, the value is true . |
stat | intent(out) when non-NULL give the result of the operation, i.e., zero on success and non-zero on error. When NULL and an error occurs, then an error message is printed and the program is terminated. |
It is permitted to have image_index equal the current image; the memory
of the send-to and the send-from might (partially) overlap in that case. The
implementation has to take care that it handles this case, e.g. using
memmove
which handles (partially) overlapping memory. If
may_require_tmp is true, the library might additionally create a
temporary variable, unless additional checks show that this is not required
(e.g. because walking backward is possible or because both arrays are
contiguous and memmove
takes care of overlap issues).
Note that the assignment of a scalar to an array is permitted. In addition, the library has to handle numeric-type conversion and for strings, padding and different character kinds.
_gfortran_caf_get
— Getting data from a remote image ¶Called to get an array section or a whole array from a remote, image identified by the image_index.
void _gfortran_caf_get (caf_token_t token, size_t offset,

src | intent(in) Array descriptor for the remote image for the
bounds and the size. The base_addr shall not be accessed. |
src_vector | intent(in) If not NULL, it contains the vector subscript of the source array; the values are relative to the dimension triplet of the src argument. |
dst_kind | intent(in) Kind of the destination argument |
src_kind | intent(in) Kind of the source argument |
may_require_tmp | intent(in) The variable is false when
it is known at compile time that the dest and src either cannot
overlap or overlap (fully or partially) such that walking src and
dest in element wise element order (honoring the stride value) will not

Note that the library has to handle numeric-type conversion and for strings, padding and different character kinds.
_gfortran_caf_sendget
— Sending data between remote images ¶Called to send a scalar, an array section or a whole array from a remote image identified by the src_image_index to a remote image identified by the dst_image_index.
void _gfortran_caf_sendget (caf_token_t dst_token, size_t dst_offset,

stat | intent(out) when non-NULL give the result of the operation, i.e., zero on success and non-zero on error. When NULL and an error occurs, then an error message is printed and the program is terminated. |
It is permitted to have the same image index for both src_image_index and
dst_image_index; the memory of the send-to and the send-from might
(partially) overlap in that case. The implementation has to take care that it
handles this case, e.g. using memmove
which handles (partially)
overlapping memory. If may_require_tmp is true, the library
might additionally create a temporary variable, unless additional checks show
that this is not required (e.g. because walking backward is possible or because
both arrays are contiguous and memmove
takes care of overlap issues).
Note that the assignment of a scalar to an array is permitted. In addition, the library has to handle numeric-type conversion and for strings, padding and different character kinds.

stat | intent(out) When non-NULL give the result of the
operation, i.e., zero on success and non-zero on error. When NULL and
an error occurs, then an error message is printed and the program is terminated. |
dst_type | intent(in) Give the type of the destination. When the destination is not an array, than the precise type, e.g. of a component in a derived type, is not known, but provided here. |

src_image_index | intent(in) The ID of the source remote image; must be a positive number. |
src_refs | intent(in) The references to apply to the remote structure to get the data. |
dst_kind | intent(in) Kind of the destination argument |
src_kind | intent(in) Kind of the source argument |
may_require_tmp | intent(in) The variable is false when
it is known at compile time that the dest and src either cannot
overlap or overlap (fully or partially) such that walking src and
dest in element wise element order (honoring the stride value) will not
lead to wrong results. Otherwise, the value is true . |
dst_stat | intent(out) when non-NULL give the result of
the send-operation, i.e., zero on success and non-zero on error. When
NULL and an error occurs, then an error message is printed and the
program is terminated. |
src_stat | intent(out) When non-NULL give the result of
the get-operation, i.e., zero on success and non-zero on error. When
NULL and an error occurs, then an error message is printed and the
program is terminated. |
dst_type | intent(in) Give the type of the destination. When the destination is not an array, than the precise type, e.g. of a component in a derived type, is not known, but provided here. |
src_type | intent(in) Give the type of the source. When the source is not an array, than the precise type, e.g. of a component in a derived type, is not known, but provided here. |
It is permitted to have the same image index for both src_image_index and
dst_image_index; the memory of the send-to and the send-from might
(partially) overlap in that case. The implementation has to take care that it
handles this case, e.g. using memmove
which handles (partially)
overlapping memory. If may_require_tmp is true, the library
might additionally create a temporary variable, unless additional checks show
that this is not required (e.g. because walking backward is possible or because
both arrays are contiguous and memmove
takes care of overlap issues).
Note that the assignment of a scalar to an array is permitted. In addition, the library has to handle numeric-type conversion and for strings, padding and different character kinds.
Because of the more complicated references possible some operations may be unsupported by certain libraries. The library is expected to issue a precise error message why the operation is not permitted.
_gfortran_caf_lock
— Locking a lock variable ¶Acquire a lock on the given image on a scalar locking variable or for the
given array element for an array-valued variable. If the acquired_lock
is NULL
, the function returns after having obtained the lock. If it is
non-NULL
, then acquired_lock is assigned the value true (one) when
the lock could be obtained and false (zero) otherwise. Locking a lock variable
which has already been locked by the same image is an error.
void _gfortran_caf_lock (caf_token_t token, size_t index, int image_index,
int *acquired_lock, int *stat, char *errmsg, size_t errmsg_len)
token | intent(in) An opaque pointer identifying the coarray. |
index | intent(in) Array index; first array index is 0. For scalars, it is always 0. |
image_index | intent(in) The ID of the remote image; must be a positive number. |
acquired_lock | intent(out) If not NULL, it returns whether lock could be obtained. |
stat | intent(out) Stores the STAT=; may be NULL. |
errmsg | intent(out) When an error occurs, this will be set to an error message; may be NULL. |
errmsg_len | intent(in) the buffer size of errmsg |
This function is also called for critical blocks; for those, the array index is always zero and the image index is one. Libraries are permitted to use other images for critical-block locking variables.
_gfortran_caf_lock
— Unlocking a lock variable ¶Release a lock on the given image on a scalar locking variable or for the given array element for an array-valued variable. Unlocking a lock variable which is unlocked or has been locked by a different image is an error.

int *stat, char *errmsg, size_t errmsg_len)
token | intent(in) An opaque pointer identifying the coarray. |

stat | intent(out) Stores the STAT=; may be NULL. |
errmsg | intent(out) When an error occurs, this will be set to an error message; may be NULL. |
errmsg_len | intent(in) the buffer size of errmsg |
This acts like an atomic add of one to the remote image’s event variable.
The statement is an image-control statement but does not imply sync memory.
Still, all preceeding push communications of this image to the specified
remote image have to be completed before event_wait
on the remote
image returns.
_gfortran_caf_event_wait
— Wait that an event occurred ¶Wait until the event count has reached at least the specified until_count; if so, atomically decrement the event variable by this amount and return.
void _gfortran_caf_event_wait (caf_token_t token, size_t index,
int until_count, int *stat, char *errmsg, size_t errmsg_len)
token | intent(in) An opaque pointer identifying the coarray. |

errmsg | intent(out) When an error occurs, this will be set to an error message; may be NULL. |
errmsg_len | intent(in) the buffer size of errmsg |
This function only operates on a local coarray. It acts like a loop checking atomically the value of the event variable, breaking if the value is greater or equal the requested number of counts. Before the function returns, the event variable has to be decremented by the requested until_count value. A possible implementation would be a busy loop for a certain number of spins (possibly depending on the number of threads relative to the number of available cores) followed by another waiting strategy such as a sleeping wait (possibly with an increasing number of sleep time) or, if possible, a futex wait.
The statement is an image-control statement but does not imply sync memory.
Still, all preceeding push communications of this image to the specified
remote image have to be completed before event_wait
on the remote
image returns.
_gfortran_caf_event_query
— Query event count ¶Return the event count of the specified event variable.
void _gfortran_caf_event_query (caf_token_t token, size_t index,

index | intent(in) Array index; first array index is 0. For scalars, it is always 0. |
image_index | intent(in) The ID of the remote image; must be a positive number; zero indicates the current image when accessed noncoindexed. |
count | intent(out) The number of events currently posted to the event variable. |
stat | intent(out) Stores the STAT=; may be NULL. |
The typical use is to check the local event variable to only call
event_wait
when the data is available. However, a coindexed variable
is permitted; there is no ordering or synchronization implied. It acts like
an atomic fetch of the value of the event variable.
_gfortran_caf_sync_all

_gfortran_caf_sync_images
— Barrier for selected images ¶Synchronization between the specified images; the program only continues on a
given image after this function has been called on all images specified for
that image. Note that one image can wait for all other images in the current
team (e.g. via sync images(*)
) while those only wait for that specific
image. Additionally, sync images
ensures that all pending data
transfers of previous segments have completed.
void _gfortran_caf_sync_images (int count, int images[], int *stat,
char *errmsg, size_t errmsg_len)
count | intent(in) The number of images which are provided in

Any conflict between a description here and a description in the Fortran standards 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= command-line option,
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.

.
Note that TIME may contain a, system dependent, arbitrary offset
and may not start with 0.0

since the start of the process’s execution in TIME. VALUES
returns the user and system components of this time in VALUES(1)
and

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)

EVENT_QUERY
— Query whether a coarray event has occurred ¶EVENT_QUERY
assignes the number of events to COUNT which have been

EXECUTE_COMMAND_LINE
— Execute a shell command ¶EXECUTE_COMMAND_LINE
runs a shell command, synchronously or
asynchronously.
The COMMAND
argument is passed to the shell and executed (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 using the C library’s system
call.
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.
For asynchronous execution on supported targets, the POSIX
posix_spawn
or fork
functions are used. Also, a signal
handler for the SIGCHLD
signal is installed.
Fortran 2008 and later
Subroutine
CALL EXECUTE_COMMAND_LINE(COMMAND [, WAIT, EXITSTAT, CMDSTAT, CMDMSG ])
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

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.

FINDLOC
— Search an array for a value ¶Determines the location of the element in the array with the value
given in the VALUE argument, or, if the DIM argument is
supplied, determines the locations of the elements equal to the
VALUE argument element along each
row of the array in the DIM direction. If MASK is

considered. If more than one element in the array has the value
VALUE, the location returned is that of the first such element
in array element order if the BACK is not present or if it is
.FALSE.
. If BACK is true, the location returned is that
of the last such element. 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.
Fortran 2008 and later.
Transformational function
RESULT = FINDLOC(ARRAY, VALUE, DIM [, MASK] [,KIND] [,BACK]) |
RESULT = FINDLOC(ARRAY, VALUE, [, MASK] [,KIND] [,BACK]) |
ARRAY | Shall be an array of intrinsic type. |
VALUE | A scalar of intrinsic type which is in type conformance with ARRAY. |

FLUSH
— Flush I/O unit(s) ¶Flushes Fortran unit(s) currently open for output. Without the optional argument, all units are flushed, otherwise just the unit specified.
GNU extension
Subroutine
CALL FLUSH(UNIT)
UNIT | (Optional) The type shall be INTEGER . |
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"

FREE
— Frees memory ¶Frees memory previously allocated by MALLOC
. The FREE

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

GNU extension
Subroutine
CALL FREE(PTR)
PTR | The type shall be INTEGER . It represents the

FSEEK
— Low level file positioning subroutine ¶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

SYSTEM
— Execute a shell command ¶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.

EXECUTE_COMMAND_LINE
— Execute a shell command, which is part of the Fortran 2008 standard
and should considered in new code for future portability.
SYSTEM_CLOCK
— Time function ¶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 (and smaller integer kinds),
COUNT represents milliseconds, while for kind=8 arguments (and
larger integer kinds), 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.

— Convert time to GMT info, and LTIME
— Convert time to local time info.
This intrinsic is not fully portable, such as to systems with 32-bit

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.

TRANSFER

This is approximately equivalent to the C concept of casting one type to another.
Fortran 90 and later
Transformational function
RESULT = TRANSFER(SOURCE, MOLD[, SIZE])
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 . |
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.

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.
Most of the parser was hand-crafted by Andy Vaught, who is also the initiator of the whole project. Thanks Andy! Most of the interface with GCC was written by Paul Brook.
The following individuals have contributed code and/or ideas and significant help to the GNU Fortran project (in alphabetical order):
The following people have contributed bug reports, smaller or larger patches, and much needed feedback and encouragement for the GNU Fortran project:
Many other individuals have helped debug, test and improve the GNU Fortran compiler over the past few years, and we welcome you to do the same! If you already have done so, and you would like to see your name listed in the list above, please contact us.
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.
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 https://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.
For a larger project, consider working on the missing features required for Fortran language standards compliance (see Standards), or contributing to the implementation of extensions such as OpenMP (see OpenMP) or OpenACC (see OpenACC) that are under active development. Again, contributing test cases for these features is useful too!
Copyright © 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. https://fsf.org/ Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
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.
“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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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 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.
“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:
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 https://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 https://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 https://www.gnu.org/licenses/why-not-lgpl.html.

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.

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.
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.
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.
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:
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.
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.”
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 https://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.
“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.
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.
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.
