63
64 @c man begin DESCRIPTION
65
66 The @command{gfortran} command supports all the options supported by the
67 @command{gcc} command. Only options specific to GNU Fortran are documented
68 here.
69
70 @xref{Invoking GCC,,GCC Command Options,gcc,Using the GNU Compiler
71 Collection (GCC)}, for information
72 on the non-Fortran-specific aspects of the @command{gcc} command (and,
73 therefore, the @command{gfortran} command).
74
75 @cindex options, negative forms
76 All GCC and GNU Fortran options
77 are accepted both by @command{gfortran} and by @command{gcc}
78 (as well as any other drivers built at the same time,
79 such as @command{g++}),
80 since adding GNU Fortran to the GCC distribution
81 enables acceptance of GNU Fortran options
82 by all of the relevant drivers.
83
84 In some cases, options have positive and negative forms;
85 the negative form of @option{-ffoo} would be @option{-fno-foo}.
86 This manual documents only one of these two forms, whichever
87 one is not the default.

200 @node Fortran Dialect Options
201 @section Options controlling Fortran dialect
202 @cindex dialect options
203 @cindex language, dialect options
204 @cindex options, dialect
205
206 The following options control the details of the Fortran dialect
207 accepted by the compiler:
208
209 @table @gcctabopt
210 @item -ffree-form
211 @itemx -ffixed-form
212 @opindex @code{ffree-form}
213 @opindex @code{ffixed-form}
214 @cindex options, Fortran dialect
215 @cindex file format, free
216 @cindex file format, fixed
217 Specify the layout used by the source file. The free form layout
218 was introduced in Fortran 90. Fixed form was traditionally used in
219 older Fortran programs. When neither option is specified, the source
220 form is determined by the file extension.
221
222 @item -fall-intrinsics
223 @opindex @code{fall-intrinsics}
224 This option causes all intrinsic procedures (including the GNU-specific
225 extensions) to be accepted. This can be useful with @option{-std=f95} to
226 force standard-compliance but get access to the full range of intrinsics
227 available with @command{gfortran}. As a consequence, @option{-Wintrinsics-std}
228 will be ignored and no user-defined procedure with the same name as any
229 intrinsic will be called except when it is explicitly declared @code{EXTERNAL}.
230
231 @item -fd-lines-as-code
232 @itemx -fd-lines-as-comments
233 @opindex @code{fd-lines-as-code}
234 @opindex @code{fd-lines-as-comments}
235 Enable special treatment for lines beginning with @code{d} or @code{D}
236 in fixed form sources. If the @option{-fd-lines-as-code} option is
237 given they are treated as if the first column contained a blank. If the
238 @option{-fd-lines-as-comments} option is given, they are treated as
239 comment lines.
240
241 @item -fdec
242 @opindex @code{fdec}
243 DEC compatibility mode. Enables extensions and other features that mimic
244 the default behavior of older compilers (such as DEC).
245 These features are non-standard and should be avoided at all costs.
246 For details on GNU Fortran's implementation of these extensions see the
247 full documentation.
248
249 Other flags enabled by this switch are:
250 @option{-fdollar-ok} @option{-fcray-pointer} @option{-fdec-structure}
251 @option{-fdec-intrinsic-ints} @option{-fdec-static} @option{-fdec-math}
252
253 If @option{-fd-lines-as-code}/@option{-fd-lines-as-comments} are unset, then
254 @option{-fdec} also sets @option{-fd-lines-as-comments}.
255
256 @item -fdec-structure
257 @opindex @code{fdec-structure}
258 Enable DEC @code{STRUCTURE} and @code{RECORD} as well as @code{UNION},
259 @code{MAP}, and dot ('.') as a member separator (in addition to '%'). This is
260 provided for compatibility only; Fortran 90 derived types should be used
261 instead where possible.
262
263 @item -fdec-intrinsic-ints
264 @opindex @code{fdec-intrinsic-ints}
265 Enable B/I/J/K kind variants of existing integer functions (e.g. BIAND, IIAND,
266 JIAND, etc...). For a complete list of intrinsics see the full documentation.
267
268 @item -fdec-math
269 @opindex @code{fdec-math}
270 Enable legacy math intrinsics such as COTAN and degree-valued trigonometric
271 functions (e.g. TAND, ATAND, etc...) for compatability with older code.
272
273 @item -fdec-static
274 @opindex @code{fdec-static}
275 Enable DEC-style STATIC and AUTOMATIC attributes to explicitly specify
276 the storage of variables and other objects.
277
278 @item -fdollar-ok
279 @opindex @code{fdollar-ok}
280 @cindex @code{$}
281 @cindex symbol names
282 @cindex character set
283 Allow @samp{$} as a valid non-first character in a symbol name. Symbols
284 that start with @samp{$} are rejected since it is unclear which rules to
285 apply to implicit typing as different vendors implement different rules.
286 Using @samp{$} in @code{IMPLICIT} statements is also rejected.
287
288 @item -fbackslash
289 @opindex @code{backslash}
290 @cindex backslash
291 @cindex escape characters
292 Change the interpretation of backslashes in string literals from a single
293 backslash character to ``C-style'' escape characters. The following
294 combinations are expanded @code{\a}, @code{\b}, @code{\f}, @code{\n},
295 @code{\r}, @code{\t}, @code{\v}, @code{\\}, and @code{\0} to the ASCII
296 characters alert, backspace, form feed, newline, carriage return,
297 horizontal tab, vertical tab, backslash, and NUL, respectively.
298 Additionally, @code{\x}@var{nn}, @code{\u}@var{nnnn} and
299 @code{\U}@var{nnnnnnnn} (where each @var{n} is a hexadecimal digit) are
300 translated into the Unicode characters corresponding to the specified code
301 points. All other combinations of a character preceded by \ are
302 unexpanded.
303
304 @item -fmodule-private
305 @opindex @code{fmodule-private}
306 @cindex module entities
307 @cindex private
308 Set the default accessibility of module entities to @code{PRIVATE}.
309 Use-associated entities will not be accessible unless they are explicitly
310 declared as @code{PUBLIC}.
311
312 @item -ffixed-line-length-@var{n}
313 @opindex @code{ffixed-line-length-}@var{n}
314 @cindex file format, fixed
315 Set column after which characters are ignored in typical fixed-form
316 lines in the source file, and through which spaces are assumed (as
317 if padded to that length) after the ends of short fixed-form lines.
318
319 Popular values for @var{n} include 72 (the
320 standard and the default), 80 (card image), and 132 (corresponding
321 to ``extended-source'' options in some popular compilers).
322 @var{n} may also be @samp{none}, meaning that the entire line is meaningful
323 and that continued character constants never have implicit spaces appended
324 to them to fill out the line.
325 @option{-ffixed-line-length-0} means the same thing as
326 @option{-ffixed-line-length-none}.
327
328 @item -ffree-line-length-@var{n}
329 @opindex @code{ffree-line-length-}@var{n}
330 @cindex file format, free
331 Set column after which characters are ignored in typical free-form
332 lines in the source file. The default value is 132.
333 @var{n} may be @samp{none}, meaning that the entire line is meaningful.
334 @option{-ffree-line-length-0} means the same thing as
335 @option{-ffree-line-length-none}.
336
337 @item -fmax-identifier-length=@var{n}
338 @opindex @code{fmax-identifier-length=}@var{n}
339 Specify the maximum allowed identifier length. Typical values are
340 31 (Fortran 95) and 63 (Fortran 2003 and Fortran 2008).
341
342 @item -fimplicit-none
343 @opindex @code{fimplicit-none}
344 Specify that no implicit typing is allowed, unless overridden by explicit
345 @code{IMPLICIT} statements. This is the equivalent of adding
346 @code{implicit none} to the start of every procedure.
347
348 @item -fcray-pointer
349 @opindex @code{fcray-pointer}
350 Enable the Cray pointer extension, which provides C-like pointer
351 functionality.
352
353 @item -fopenacc
354 @opindex @code{fopenacc}
355 @cindex OpenACC
356 Enable the OpenACC extensions. This includes OpenACC @code{!$acc}
357 directives in free form and @code{c$acc}, @code{*$acc} and
358 @code{!$acc} directives in fixed form, @code{!$} conditional
359 compilation sentinels in free form and @code{c$}, @code{*$} and
360 @code{!$} sentinels in fixed form, and when linking arranges for the
361 OpenACC runtime library to be linked in.
362
363 Note that this is an experimental feature, incomplete, and subject to
364 change in future versions of GCC. See
365 @w{@uref{https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/OpenACC}} for more information.
366
367 @item -fopenmp
368 @opindex @code{fopenmp}
369 @cindex OpenMP
370 Enable the OpenMP extensions. This includes OpenMP @code{!$omp} directives
371 in free form
372 and @code{c$omp}, @code{*$omp} and @code{!$omp} directives in fixed form,
373 @code{!$} conditional compilation sentinels in free form
374 and @code{c$}, @code{*$} and @code{!$} sentinels in fixed form,
375 and when linking arranges for the OpenMP runtime library to be linked
376 in. The option @option{-fopenmp} implies @option{-frecursive}.
377
378 @item -fno-range-check
379 @opindex @code{frange-check}
380 Disable range checking on results of simplification of constant
381 expressions during compilation. For example, GNU Fortran will give
382 an error at compile time when simplifying @code{a = 1. / 0}.
383 With this option, no error will be given and @code{a} will be assigned
384 the value @code{+Infinity}. If an expression evaluates to a value
385 outside of the relevant range of [@code{-HUGE()}:@code{HUGE()}],
386 then the expression will be replaced by @code{-Inf} or @code{+Inf}
387 as appropriate.
388 Similarly, @code{DATA i/Z'FFFFFFFF'/} will result in an integer overflow
389 on most systems, but with @option{-fno-range-check} the value will
390 ``wrap around'' and @code{i} will be initialized to @math{-1} instead.
391
392 @item -fdefault-integer-8
393 @opindex @code{fdefault-integer-8}
394 Set the default integer and logical types to an 8 byte wide type. This option
395 also affects the kind of integer constants like @code{42}. Unlike
396 @option{-finteger-4-integer-8}, it does not promote variables with explicit
397 kind declaration.
398
399 @item -fdefault-real-8
400 @opindex @code{fdefault-real-8}
401 Set the default real type to an 8 byte wide type. This option also affects
402 the kind of non-double real constants like @code{1.0}, and does promote
403 the default width of @code{DOUBLE PRECISION} to 16 bytes if possible, unless
404 @code{-fdefault-double-8} is given, too. Unlike @option{-freal-4-real-8},
405 it does not promote variables with explicit kind declaration.
406
407 @item -fdefault-real-10
408 @opindex @code{fdefault-real-10}
409 Set the default real type to a 10 byte wide type. This option also affects
410 the kind of non-double real constants like @code{1.0}, and does promote
411 the default width of @code{DOUBLE PRECISION} to 16 bytes if possible, unless
412 @code{-fdefault-double-8} is given. Unlike @option{-freal-4-real-10},
413 it does not promote variables with explicit kind declaration.
414
415 @item -fdefault-real-16
416 @opindex @code{fdefault-real-16}
417 Set the default real type to a 16 byte wide type. This option also affects
418 the kind of non-double real constants like @code{1.0}, and does promote
419 the default width of @code{DOUBLE PRECISION} to 16 bytes if possible, unless
420 @code{-fdefault-double-8} is given. Unlike @option{-freal-4-real-16},
421 it does not promote variables with explicit kind declaration.
422
423 @item -fdefault-double-8
424 @opindex @code{fdefault-double-8}
425 Set the @code{DOUBLE PRECISION} type to an 8 byte wide type. Do nothing if this
426 is already the default. If @option{-fdefault-real-8} is given,
427 @code{DOUBLE PRECISION} would instead be promoted to 16 bytes if possible, and
428 @option{-fdefault-double-8} can be used to prevent this. The kind of real
429 constants like @code{1.d0} will not be changed by @option{-fdefault-real-8}
430 though, so also @option{-fdefault-double-8} does not affect it.
431
432 @item -finteger-4-integer-8
433 @opindex @code{finteger-4-integer-8}
434 Promote all @code{INTEGER(KIND=4)} entities to an @code{INTEGER(KIND=8)}
435 entities. If @code{KIND=8} is unavailable, then an error will be issued.
436 This option should be used with care and may not be suitable for your codes.
437 Areas of possible concern include calls to external procedures,
438 alignment in @code{EQUIVALENCE} and/or @code{COMMON}, generic interfaces,
439 BOZ literal constant conversion, and I/O. Inspection of the intermediate
440 representation of the translated Fortran code, produced by
441 @option{-fdump-tree-original}, is suggested.

456 Promote all @code{REAL(KIND=M)} entities to @code{REAL(KIND=N)} entities.
457 If @code{REAL(KIND=N)} is unavailable, then an error will be issued.
458 All other real kind types are unaffected by this option.
459 These options should be used with care and may not be suitable for your
460 codes. Areas of possible concern include calls to external procedures,
461 alignment in @code{EQUIVALENCE} and/or @code{COMMON}, generic interfaces,

465
466 @item -std=@var{std}
467 @opindex @code{std=}@var{std} option
468 Specify the standard to which the program is expected to conform, which
469 may be one of @samp{f95}, @samp{f2003}, @samp{f2008}, @samp{gnu}, or
470 @samp{legacy}. The default value for @var{std} is @samp{gnu}, which
471 specifies a superset of the Fortran 95 standard that includes all of the
472 extensions supported by GNU Fortran, although warnings will be given for
473 obsolete extensions not recommended for use in new code. The
474 @samp{legacy} value is equivalent but without the warnings for obsolete
475 extensions, and may be useful for old non-standard programs. The
476 @samp{f95}, @samp{f2003} and @samp{f2008} values specify strict
477 conformance to the Fortran 95, Fortran 2003 and Fortran 2008 standards,
478 respectively; errors are given for all extensions beyond the relevant
479 language standard, and warnings are given for the Fortran 77 features
480 that are permitted but obsolescent in later standards. @samp{-std=f2008ts}
481 allows the Fortran 2008 standard including the additions of the
482 Technical Specification (TS) 29113 on Further Interoperability of Fortran
483 with C and TS 18508 on Additional Parallel Features in Fortran.

507 @cindex preprocessor, disable
508 Enable preprocessing. The preprocessor is automatically invoked if
509 the file extension is @file{.fpp}, @file{.FPP}, @file{.F}, @file{.FOR},
510 @file{.FTN}, @file{.F90}, @file{.F95}, @file{.F03} or @file{.F08}. Use
511 this option to manually enable preprocessing of any kind of Fortran file.
512
513 To disable preprocessing of files with any of the above listed extensions,
514 use the negative form: @option{-nocpp}.
515
516 The preprocessor is run in traditional mode. Any restrictions of the
517 file-format, especially the limits on line length, apply for
518 preprocessed output as well, so it might be advisable to use the
519 @option{-ffree-line-length-none} or @option{-ffixed-line-length-none}
520 options.
521
522 @item -dM
523 @opindex @code{dM}
524 @cindex preprocessor, debugging
525 @cindex debugging, preprocessor
526 Instead of the normal output, generate a list of @code{'#define'}
527 directives for all the macros defined during the execution of the
528 preprocessor, including predefined macros. This gives you a way
529 of finding out what is predefined in your version of the preprocessor.
530 Assuming you have no file @file{foo.f90}, the command
531 @smallexample
532 touch foo.f90; gfortran -cpp -E -dM foo.f90
533 @end smallexample
534 will show all the predefined macros.
535
536 @item -dD
537 @opindex @code{dD}
538 @cindex preprocessor, debugging
539 @cindex debugging, preprocessor
540 Like @option{-dM} except in two respects: it does not include the
541 predefined macros, and it outputs both the @code{#define} directives
542 and the result of preprocessing. Both kinds of output go to the
543 standard output file.
544
545 @item -dN
546 @opindex @code{dN}
547 @cindex preprocessor, debugging
548 @cindex debugging, preprocessor

550
551 @item -dU
552 @opindex @code{dU}
553 @cindex preprocessor, debugging
554 @cindex debugging, preprocessor
555 Like @option{dD} except that only macros that are expanded, or whose
556 definedness is tested in preprocessor directives, are output; the
557 output is delayed until the use or test of the macro; and @code{'#undef'}
558 directives are also output for macros tested but undefined at the time.

561 @opindex @code{dI}
562 @cindex preprocessor, debugging
563 @cindex debugging, preprocessor

565 of preprocessing.
566
567 @item -fworking-directory
568 @opindex @code{fworking-directory}
569 @cindex preprocessor, working directory
570 Enable generation of linemarkers in the preprocessor output that will
571 let the compiler know the current working directory at the time of
572 preprocessing. When this option is enabled, the preprocessor will emit,
573 after the initial linemarker, a second linemarker with the current
574 working directory followed by two slashes. GCC will use this directory,
575 when it is present in the preprocessed input, as the directory emitted
576 as the current working directory in some debugging information formats.
577 This option is implicitly enabled if debugging information is enabled,
578 but this can be inhibited with the negated form
579 @option{-fno-working-directory}. If the @option{-P} flag is present
580 in the command line, this option has no effect, since no @code{#line}
581 directives are emitted whatsoever.
582
583 @item -idirafter @var{dir}
584 @opindex @code{idirafter @var{dir}}
585 @cindex preprocessing, include path
586 Search @var{dir} for include files, but do it after all directories
587 specified with @option{-I} and the standard system directories have
588 been exhausted. @var{dir} is treated as a system include directory.
589 If dir begins with @code{=}, then the @code{=} will be replaced by
590 the sysroot prefix; see @option{--sysroot} and @option{-isysroot}.
591
592 @item -imultilib @var{dir}
593 @opindex @code{imultilib @var{dir}}
594 @cindex preprocessing, include path
595 Use @var{dir} as a subdirectory of the directory containing target-specific
596 C++ headers.
597
598 @item -iprefix @var{prefix}
599 @opindex @code{iprefix @var{prefix}}
600 @cindex preprocessing, include path
601 Specify @var{prefix} as the prefix for subsequent @option{-iwithprefix}
602 options. If the @var{prefix} represents a directory, you should include
603 the final @code{'/'}.
604
605 @item -isysroot @var{dir}
606 @opindex @code{isysroot @var{dir}}
607 @cindex preprocessing, include path
608 This option is like the @option{--sysroot} option, but applies only to
609 header files. See the @option{--sysroot} option for more information.
610
611 @item -iquote @var{dir}
612 @opindex @code{iquote @var{dir}}
613 @cindex preprocessing, include path
614 Search @var{dir} only for header files requested with @code{#include "file"};
615 they are not searched for @code{#include <file>}, before all directories
616 specified by @option{-I} and before the standard system directories. If
617 @var{dir} begins with @code{=}, then the @code{=} will be replaced by the
618 sysroot prefix; see @option{--sysroot} and @option{-isysroot}.
619
620 @item -isystem @var{dir}
621 @opindex @code{isystem @var{dir}}
622 @cindex preprocessing, include path
623 Search @var{dir} for header files, after all directories specified by
624 @option{-I} but before the standard system directories. Mark it as a
625 system directory, so that it gets the same special treatment as is
626 applied to the standard system directories. If @var{dir} begins with
627 @code{=}, then the @code{=} will be replaced by the sysroot prefix;
628 see @option{--sysroot} and @option{-isysroot}.
629
630 @item -nostdinc
631 @opindex @code{nostdinc}
632 Do not search the standard system directories for header files. Only
633 the directories you have specified with @option{-I} options (and the
634 directory of the current file, if appropriate) are searched.
635
636 @item -undef
637 @opindex @code{undef}
638 Do not predefine any system-specific or GCC-specific macros.
639 The standard predefined macros remain defined.
640
641 @item -A@var{predicate}=@var{answer}
642 @opindex @code{A@var{predicate}=@var{answer}}
643 @cindex preprocessing, assertion
644 Make an assertion with the predicate @var{predicate} and answer @var{answer}.
645 This form is preferred to the older form -A predicate(answer), which is still
646 supported, because it does not use shell special characters.
647
648 @item -A-@var{predicate}=@var{answer}
649 @opindex @code{A-@var{predicate}=@var{answer}}
650 @cindex preprocessing, assertion
651 Cancel an assertion with the predicate @var{predicate} and answer @var{answer}.
652
653 @item -C
654 @opindex @code{C}
655 @cindex preprocessing, keep comments
656 Do not discard comments. All comments are passed through to the output
657 file, except for comments in processed directives, which are deleted
658 along with the directive.
659
660 You should be prepared for side effects when using @option{-C}; it causes
661 the preprocessor to treat comments as tokens in their own right. For example,
662 comments appearing at the start of what would be a directive line have the
663 effect of turning that line into an ordinary source line, since the first
664 token on the line is no longer a @code{'#'}.
665
666 Warning: this currently handles C-Style comments only. The preprocessor
667 does not yet recognize Fortran-style comments.
668
669 @item -CC
670 @opindex @code{CC}
671 @cindex preprocessing, keep comments
672 Do not discard comments, including during macro expansion. This is like
673 @option{-C}, except that comments contained within macros are also passed
674 through to the output file where the macro is expanded.
675
676 In addition to the side-effects of the @option{-C} option, the @option{-CC}
677 option causes all C++-style comments inside a macro to be converted to C-style
678 comments. This is to prevent later use of that macro from inadvertently
679 commenting out the remainder of the source line. The @option{-CC} option
680 is generally used to support lint comments.
681
682 Warning: this currently handles C- and C++-Style comments only. The
683 preprocessor does not yet recognize Fortran-style comments.
684
685 @item -D@var{name}
686 @opindex @code{D@var{name}}
687 @cindex preprocessing, define macros
688 Predefine name as a macro, with definition @code{1}.
689
690 @item -D@var{name}=@var{definition}
691 @opindex @code{D@var{name}=@var{definition}}
692 @cindex preprocessing, define macros
693 The contents of @var{definition} are tokenized and processed as if they
694 appeared during translation phase three in a @code{'#define'} directive.
695 In particular, the definition will be truncated by embedded newline
696 characters.
697
698 If you are invoking the preprocessor from a shell or shell-like program
699 you may need to use the shell's quoting syntax to protect characters such
700 as spaces that have a meaning in the shell syntax.
701
702 If you wish to define a function-like macro on the command line, write
703 its argument list with surrounding parentheses before the equals sign
704 (if any). Parentheses are meaningful to most shells, so you will need
705 to quote the option. With sh and csh, @code{-D'name(args...)=definition'}
706 works.
707
708 @option{-D} and @option{-U} options are processed in the order they are
709 given on the command line. All -imacros file and -include file options
710 are processed after all -D and -U options.
711
712 @item -H
713 @opindex @code{H}
714 Print the name of each header file used, in addition to other normal
715 activities. Each name is indented to show how deep in the @code{'#include'}
716 stack it is.
717
718 @item -P
719 @opindex @code{P}
720 @cindex preprocessing, no linemarkers
721 Inhibit generation of linemarkers in the output from the preprocessor.
722 This might be useful when running the preprocessor on something that
723 is not C code, and will be sent to a program which might be confused
724 by the linemarkers.
725
726 @item -U@var{name}
727 @opindex @code{U@var{name}}
728 @cindex preprocessing, undefine macros
729 Cancel any previous definition of @var{name}, either built in or provided
730 with a @option{-D} option.

741 @cindex suppressing warnings
742
743 Errors are diagnostic messages that report that the GNU Fortran compiler
744 cannot compile the relevant piece of source code. The compiler will
745 continue to process the program in an attempt to report further errors
746 to aid in debugging, but will not produce any compiled output.
747
748 Warnings are diagnostic messages that report constructions which
749 are not inherently erroneous but which are risky or suggest there is
750 likely to be a bug in the program. Unless @option{-Werror} is specified,
751 they do not prevent compilation of the program.
752
753 You can request many specific warnings with options beginning @option{-W},
754 for example @option{-Wimplicit} to request warnings on implicit
755 declarations. Each of these specific warning options also has a
756 negative form beginning @option{-Wno-} to turn off warnings;
757 for example, @option{-Wno-implicit}. This manual lists only one of the
758 two forms, whichever is not the default.
759
760 These options control the amount and kinds of errors and warnings produced
761 by GNU Fortran:
762
763 @table @gcctabopt
764 @item -fmax-errors=@var{n}
765 @opindex @code{fmax-errors=}@var{n}
766 @cindex errors, limiting
767 Limits the maximum number of error messages to @var{n}, at which point
768 GNU Fortran bails out rather than attempting to continue processing the
769 source code. If @var{n} is 0, there is no limit on the number of error
770 messages produced.
771
772 @item -fsyntax-only
773 @opindex @code{fsyntax-only}
774 @cindex syntax checking
775 Check the code for syntax errors, but do not actually compile it. This
776 will generate module files for each module present in the code, but no
777 other output file.
778
779 @item -Wpedantic
780 @itemx -pedantic
781 @opindex @code{pedantic}
782 @opindex @code{Wpedantic}
783 Issue warnings for uses of extensions to Fortran 95.
784 @option{-pedantic} also applies to C-language constructs where they
785 occur in GNU Fortran source files, such as use of @samp{\e} in a
786 character constant within a directive like @code{#include}.
787
788 Valid Fortran 95 programs should compile properly with or without
789 this option.
790 However, without this option, certain GNU extensions and traditional
791 Fortran features are supported as well.
792 With this option, many of them are rejected.
793
794 Some users try to use @option{-pedantic} to check programs for conformance.
795 They soon find that it does not do quite what they want---it finds some
796 nonstandard practices, but not all.
797 However, improvements to GNU Fortran in this area are welcome.
798
799 This should be used in conjunction with @option{-std=f95},
800 @option{-std=f2003} or @option{-std=f2008}.
801

825 if the same actual argument is associated with a dummy argument with
826 @code{INTENT(IN)} and a dummy argument with @code{INTENT(OUT)} in a call
827 with an explicit interface.
828
829 The following example will trigger the warning.

844 @cindex warnings, ampersand
845 @cindex @code{&}
846 Warn about missing ampersand in continued character constants. The warning is
847 given with @option{-Wampersand}, @option{-pedantic}, @option{-std=f95},
848 @option{-std=f2003} and @option{-std=f2008}. Note: With no ampersand
849 given in a continued character constant, GNU Fortran assumes continuation

860 thus enabled by default.
861
862 @item -Warray-temporaries
863 @opindex @code{Warray-temporaries}
864 @cindex warnings, array temporaries
865 Warn about array temporaries generated by the compiler. The information

867 avoid such temporaries.
868
869 @item -Wc-binding-type
870 @opindex @code{Wc-binding-type}
871 @cindex warning, C binding type
872 Warn if the a variable might not be C interoperable. In particular, warn if
873 the variable has been declared using an intrinsic type with default kind
874 instead of using a kind parameter defined for C interoperability in the
875 intrinsic @code{ISO_C_Binding} module. This option is implied by
876 @option{-Wall}.
877
878 @item -Wcharacter-truncation
879 @opindex @code{Wcharacter-truncation}
880 @cindex warnings, character truncation
881 Warn when a character assignment will truncate the assigned string.

883 @item -Wline-truncation
884 @opindex @code{Wline-truncation}
885 @cindex warnings, line truncation
886 Warn when a source code line will be truncated. This option is
887 implied by @option{-Wall}. For free-form source code, the default is
888 @option{-Werror=line-truncation} such that truncations are reported as
889 error.
890
891 @item -Wconversion
892 @opindex @code{Wconversion}
893 @cindex warnings, conversion
894 @cindex conversion

905 @item -Wextra
906 @opindex @code{Wextra}
907 @cindex extra warnings
908 @cindex warnings, extra
909 Enables some warning options for usages of language features which

912
913 @item -Wimplicit-interface
914 @opindex @code{Wimplicit-interface}
915 @cindex warnings, implicit interface
916 Warn if a procedure is called without an explicit interface.
917 Note this only checks that an explicit interface is present. It does not
918 check that the declared interfaces are consistent across program units.
919
920 @item -Wimplicit-procedure
921 @opindex @code{Wimplicit-procedure}
922 @cindex warnings, implicit procedure

937 Warn if @command{gfortran} finds a procedure named like an intrinsic not
938 available in the currently selected standard (with @option{-std}) and treats
939 it as @code{EXTERNAL} procedure because of this. @option{-fall-intrinsics} can

942
943 @item -Wreal-q-constant
944 @opindex @code{Wreal-q-constant}

949 @item -Wsurprising
950 @opindex @code{Wsurprising}
951 @cindex warnings, suspicious code
952 Produce a warning when ``suspicious'' code constructs are encountered.
953 While technically legal these usually indicate that an error has been made.
954
955 This currently produces a warning under the following circumstances:
956
957 @itemize @bullet
958 @item
959 An INTEGER SELECT construct has a CASE that can never be matched as its
960 lower value is greater than its upper value.
961

963 A LOGICAL SELECT construct has three CASE statements.
964
965 @item
966 A TRANSFER specifies a source that is shorter than the destination.
967
968 @item
969 The type of a function result is declared more than once with the same type. If
970 @option{-pedantic} or standard-conforming mode is enabled, this is an error.

980 By default, tabs are accepted as whitespace, but tabs are not members
981 of the Fortran Character Set. For continuation lines, a tab followed
982 by a digit between 1 and 9 is supported. @option{-Wtabs} will cause

1005 Warn if a user-defined procedure or module procedure has the same name as an
1006 intrinsic; in this case, an explicit interface or @code{EXTERNAL} or
1007 @code{INTRINSIC} declaration might be needed to get calls later resolved to
1008 the desired intrinsic/procedure. This option is implied by @option{-Wall}.

1050 @item -Wrealloc-lhs
1051 @opindex @code{Wrealloc-lhs}
1052 @cindex Reallocate the LHS in assignments, notification
1053 Warn when the compiler might insert code to for allocation or reallocation of
1054 an allocatable array variable of intrinsic type in intrinsic assignments. In
1055 hot loops, the Fortran 2003 reallocation feature may reduce the performance.
1056 If the array is already allocated with the correct shape, consider using a
1057 whole-array array-spec (e.g. @code{(:,:,:)}) for the variable on the left-hand
1058 side to prevent the reallocation check. Note that in some cases the warning
1059 is shown, even if the compiler will optimize reallocation checks away. For
1060 instance, when the right-hand side contains the same variable multiplied by
1061 a scalar. See also @option{-frealloc-lhs}.
1062
1063 @item -Wrealloc-lhs-all
1064 @opindex @code{Wrealloc-lhs-all}

1084 @opindex @code{Wdo-subscript}
1085 Warn if an array subscript inside a DO loop could lead to an

1087 statement is actually executed, in cases like
1088 @smallexample
1089 real a(3)

1112 @section Options for debugging your program or GNU Fortran
1113 @cindex options, debugging
1114 @cindex debugging information options
1115
1116 GNU Fortran has various special options that are used for debugging
1117 either your program or the GNU Fortran compiler.
1118
1119 @table @gcctabopt
1120 @item -fdump-fortran-original
1121 @opindex @code{fdump-fortran-original}
1122 Output the internal parse tree after translating the source program
1123 into internal representation. This option is mostly useful for
1124 debugging the GNU Fortran compiler itself. The output generated by
1125 this option might change between releases. This option may also
1126 generate internal compiler errors for features which have only
1127 recently been added.
1128
1129 @item -fdump-fortran-optimized
1130 @opindex @code{fdump-fortran-optimized}
1131 Output the parse tree after front-end optimization. Mostly useful for
1132 debugging the GNU Fortran compiler itself. The output generated by
1133 this option might change between releases. This option may also
1134 generate internal compiler errors for features which have only
1135 recently been added.
1136
1137 @item -fdump-parse-tree
1138 @opindex @code{fdump-parse-tree}
1139 Output the internal parse tree after translating the source program
1140 into internal representation. Mostly useful for debugging the GNU
1141 Fortran compiler itself. The output generated by this option might
1142 change between releases. This option may also generate internal
1143 compiler errors for features which have only recently been added. This
1144 option is deprecated; use @code{-fdump-fortran-original} instead.
1145
1146 @item -ffpe-trap=@var{list}
1147 @opindex @code{ffpe-trap=}@var{list}
1148 Specify a list of floating point exception traps to enable. On most
1149 systems, if a floating point exception occurs and the trap for that
1150 exception is enabled, a SIGFPE signal will be sent and the program
1151 being aborted, producing a core file useful for debugging. @var{list}
1152 is a (possibly empty) comma-separated list of the following
1153 exceptions: @samp{invalid} (invalid floating point operation, such as
1154 @code{SQRT(-1.0)}), @samp{zero} (division by zero), @samp{overflow}
1155 (overflow in a floating point operation), @samp{underflow} (underflow
1156 in a floating point operation), @samp{inexact} (loss of precision
1157 during operation), and @samp{denormal} (operation performed on a
1158 denormal value). The first five exceptions correspond to the five
1159 IEEE 754 exceptions, whereas the last one (@samp{denormal}) is not
1160 part of the IEEE 754 standard but is available on some common
1161 architectures such as x86.
1162
1163 The first three exceptions (@samp{invalid}, @samp{zero}, and
1164 @samp{overflow}) often indicate serious errors, and unless the program
1165 has provisions for dealing with these exceptions, enabling traps for
1166 these three exceptions is probably a good idea.
1167
1168 Many, if not most, floating point operations incur loss of precision
1169 due to rounding, and hence the @code{ffpe-trap=inexact} is likely to
1170 be uninteresting in practice.
1171
1172 By default no exception traps are enabled.
1173
1174 @item -ffpe-summary=@var{list}
1175 @opindex @code{ffpe-summary=}@var{list}
1176 Specify a list of floating-point exceptions, whose flag status is printed
1177 to @code{ERROR_UNIT} when invoking @code{STOP} and @code{ERROR STOP}.
1178 @var{list} can be either @samp{none}, @samp{all} or a comma-separated list
1179 of the following exceptions: @samp{invalid}, @samp{zero}, @samp{overflow},
1180 @samp{underflow}, @samp{inexact} and @samp{denormal}. (See
1181 @option{-ffpe-trap} for a description of the exceptions.)
1182
1183 By default, a summary for all exceptions but @samp{inexact} is shown.
1184
1185 @item -fno-backtrace
1186 @opindex @code{fno-backtrace}
1187 @cindex backtrace
1188 @cindex trace
1189 When a serious runtime error is encountered or a deadly signal is
1190 emitted (segmentation fault, illegal instruction, bus error,
1191 floating-point exception, and the other POSIX signals that have the
1192 action @samp{core}), the Fortran runtime library tries to output a
1193 backtrace of the error. @code{-fno-backtrace} disables the backtrace
1194 generation. This option only has influence for compilation of the
1195 Fortran main program.

1228
1229 Also note that the general behavior of @option{-I} and

1290 swap between big- and little-endian; @samp{big-endian}, use big-endian
1291 representation for unformatted files; @samp{little-endian}, use little-endian
1292 representation for unformatted files.
1293
1294 @emph{This option has an effect only when used in the main program.

1298 @item -frecord-marker=@var{length}
1299 @opindex @code{frecord-marker=}@var{length}
1300 Specify the length of record markers for unformatted files.
1301 Valid values for @var{length} are 4 and 8. Default is 4.
1302 @emph{This is different from previous versions of @command{gfortran}},
1303 which specified a default record marker length of 8 on most
1304 systems. If you want to read or write files compatible

1315 When enabled, floating point numbers of value zero with the sign bit set
1316 are written as negative number in formatted output and treated as
1317 negative in the @code{SIGN} intrinsic. @option{-fno-sign-zero} does not
1318 print the negative sign of zero values (or values rounded to zero for I/O)
1319 and regards zero as positive number in the @code{SIGN} intrinsic for
1320 compatibility with Fortran 77. The default is @option{-fsign-zero}.

1343 Treat each program unit (except those marked as RECURSIVE) as if the
1344 @code{SAVE} statement were specified for every local variable and array
1345 referenced in it. Does not affect common blocks. (Some Fortran compilers
1346 provide this option under the name @option{-static} or @option{-save}.)
1347 The default, which is @option{-fautomatic}, uses the stack for local
1348 variables smaller than the value given by @option{-fmax-stack-var-size}.
1349 Use the option @option{-frecursive} to use no static memory.

1356 @cindex libf2c calling convention
1357 Generate code designed to be compatible with code generated
1358 by @command{g77} and @command{f2c}.
1359
1360 The calling conventions used by @command{g77} (originally implemented
1361 in @command{f2c}) require functions that return type
1362 default @code{REAL} to actually return the C type @code{double}, and
1363 functions that return type @code{COMPLEX} to return the values via an
1364 extra argument in the calling sequence that points to where to
1365 store the return value. Under the default GNU calling conventions, such
1366 functions simply return their results as they would in GNU
1367 C---default @code{REAL} functions return the C type @code{float}, and
1368 @code{COMPLEX} functions return the GNU C type @code{complex}.
1369 Additionally, this option implies the @option{-fsecond-underscore}
1370 option, unless @option{-fno-second-underscore} is explicitly requested.
1371
1372 This does not affect the generation of code that interfaces with
1373 the @command{libgfortran} library.
1374
1375 @emph{Caution:} It is not a good idea to mix Fortran code compiled with
1376 @option{-ff2c} with code compiled with the default @option{-fno-f2c}
1377 calling conventions as, calling @code{COMPLEX} or default @code{REAL}
1378 functions between program parts which were compiled with different
1379 calling conventions will break at execution time.
1380
1381 @emph{Caution:} This will break code which passes intrinsic functions
1382 of type default @code{REAL} or @code{COMPLEX} as actual arguments, as
1383 the library implementations use the @option{-fno-f2c} calling conventions.

1391 Do not transform names of entities specified in the Fortran
1392 source file by appending underscores to them.
1393
1394 With @option{-funderscoring} in effect, GNU Fortran appends one
1395 underscore to external names with no underscores. This is done to ensure
1396 compatibility with code produced by many UNIX Fortran compilers.
1397
1398 @emph{Caution}: The default behavior of GNU Fortran is
1399 incompatible with @command{f2c} and @command{g77}, please use the
1400 @option{-ff2c} option if you want object files compiled with
1401 GNU Fortran to be compatible with object code created with these
1402 tools.
1403
1404 Use of @option{-fno-underscoring} is not recommended unless you are
1405 experimenting with issues such as integration of GNU Fortran into
1406 existing system environments (vis-@`{a}-vis existing libraries, tools,
1407 and so on).
1408
1409 For example, with @option{-funderscoring}, and assuming that @code{j()} and
1410 @code{max_count()} are external functions while @code{my_var} and
1411 @code{lvar} are local variables, a statement like
1412 @smallexample
1413 I = J() + MAX_COUNT (MY_VAR, LVAR)
1414 @end smallexample
1415 @noindent
1416 is implemented as something akin to:
1417 @smallexample
1418 i = j_() + max_count__(&my_var__, &lvar);
1419 @end smallexample
1420
1421 With @option{-fno-underscoring}, the same statement is implemented as:
1422
1423 @smallexample
1424 i = j() + max_count(&my_var, &lvar);
1425 @end smallexample
1426
1427 Use of @option{-fno-underscoring} allows direct specification of
1428 user-defined names while debugging and when interfacing GNU Fortran
1429 code with other languages.
1430
1431 Note that just because the names match does @emph{not} mean that the
1432 interface implemented by GNU Fortran for an external name matches the
1433 interface implemented by some other language for that same name.
1434 That is, getting code produced by GNU Fortran to link to code produced
1435 by some other compiler using this or any other method can be only a
1436 small part of the overall solution---getting the code generated by
1437 both compilers to agree on issues other than naming can require
1438 significant effort, and, unlike naming disagreements, linkers normally
1439 cannot detect disagreements in these other areas.
1440
1441 Also, note that with @option{-fno-underscoring}, the lack of appended
1442 underscores introduces the very real possibility that a user-defined
1443 external name will conflict with a name in a system library, which
1444 could make finding unresolved-reference bugs quite difficult in some
1445 cases---they might occur at program run time, and show up only as
1446 buggy behavior at run time.
1447
1448 In future versions of GNU Fortran we hope to improve naming and linking
1449 issues so that debugging always involves using the names as they appear
1450 in the source, even if the names as seen by the linker are mangled to
1451 prevent accidental linking between procedures with incompatible
1452 interfaces.

1463 By default, GNU Fortran appends an underscore to external
1464 names. If this option is used GNU Fortran appends two
1465 underscores to names with underscores and one underscore to external names
1466 with no underscores. GNU Fortran also appends two underscores to
1467 internal names with underscores to avoid naming collisions with external
1468 names.
1469
1470 This option has no effect if @option{-fno-underscoring} is
1471 in effect. It is implied by the @option{-ff2c} option.
1472
1473 Otherwise, with this option, an external name such as @code{MAX_COUNT}
1474 is implemented as a reference to the link-time external symbol

1523
1524 @item @samp{bounds}
1525 Enable generation of run-time checks for array subscripts

1531
1532 Some checks require that @option{-fcheck=bounds} is set for

1596 @item -fmax-stack-var-size=@var{n}
1597 @opindex @code{fmax-stack-var-size}
1598 This option specifies the size in bytes of the largest array that will be put
1599 on the stack; if the size is exceeded static memory is used (except in
1600 procedures marked as RECURSIVE). Use the option @option{-frecursive} to
1601 allow for recursive procedures which do not have a RECURSIVE attribute or
1602 for parallel programs. Use @option{-fno-automatic} to never use the stack.
1603
1604 This option currently only affects local arrays declared with constant
1605 bounds, and may not apply to all character variables.
1606 Future versions of GNU Fortran may improve this behavior.
1607
1608 The default value for @var{n} is 32768.
1609
1610 @item -fstack-arrays
1611 @opindex @code{fstack-arrays}
1612 Adding this option will make the Fortran compiler put all arrays of
1613 unknown size and array temporaries onto stack memory. If your program uses very
1614 large local arrays it is possible that you will have to extend your runtime
1615 limits for stack memory on some operating systems. This flag is enabled
1616 by default at optimization level @option{-Ofast} unless
1617 @option{-fmax-stack-var-size} is specified.
1618
1619 @item -fpack-derived
1620 @opindex @code{fpack-derived}
1621 @cindex structure packing
1622 This option tells GNU Fortran to pack derived type members as closely as
1623 possible. Code compiled with this option is likely to be incompatible
1624 with code compiled without this option, and may execute slower.
1625
1626 @item -frepack-arrays
1627 @opindex @code{frepack-arrays}
1628 @cindex repacking arrays
1629 In some circumstances GNU Fortran may pass assumed shape array
1630 sections via a descriptor describing a noncontiguous area of memory.
1631 This option adds code to the function prologue to repack the data into
1632 a contiguous block at runtime.
1633
1634 This should result in faster accesses to the array. However it can introduce
1635 significant overhead to the function call, especially when the passed data
1636 is noncontiguous.
1637
1638 @item -fshort-enums
1639 @opindex @code{fshort-enums}
1640 This option is provided for interoperability with C code that was
1641 compiled with the @option{-fshort-enums} option. It will make
1642 GNU Fortran choose the smallest @code{INTEGER} kind a given
1643 enumerator set will fit in, and give all its enumerators this kind.
1644
1645 @item -fexternal-blas
1646 @opindex @code{fexternal-blas}
1647 This option will make @command{gfortran} generate calls to BLAS functions
1648 for some matrix operations like @code{MATMUL}, instead of using our own
1649 algorithms, if the size of the matrices involved is larger than a given
1650 limit (see @option{-fblas-matmul-limit}). This may be profitable if an
1651 optimized vendor BLAS library is available. The BLAS library will have
1652 to be specified at link time.
1653
1654 @item -fblas-matmul-limit=@var{n}
1655 @opindex @code{fblas-matmul-limit}
1656 Only significant when @option{-fexternal-blas} is in effect.
1657 Matrix multiplication of matrices with size larger than (or equal to) @var{n}
1658 will be performed by calls to BLAS functions, while others will be
1659 handled by @command{gfortran} internal algorithms. If the matrices
1660 involved are not square, the size comparison is performed using the
1661 geometric mean of the dimensions of the argument and result matrices.
1662
1663 The default value for @var{n} is 30.
1664
1665 @item -finline-matmul-limit=@var{n}
1666 @opindex @code{finline-matmul-limit}
1667 When front-end optimiztion is active, some calls to the @code{MATMUL}
1668 intrinsic function will be inlined. This may result in code size
1669 increase if the size of the matrix cannot be determined at compile
1670 time, as code for both cases is generated. Setting
1671 @code{-finline-matmul-limit=0} will disable inlining in all cases.
1672 Setting this option with a value of @var{n} will produce inline code
1673 for matrices with size up to @var{n}. If the matrices involved are not
1674 square, the size comparison is performed using the geometric mean of
1675 the dimensions of the argument and result matrices.
1676
1677 The default value for @var{n} is 30. The @code{-fblas-matmul-limit}
1678 can be used to change this value.

1696 @opindex @code{finit-logical}
1697 @opindex @code{finit-character}
1698 The @option{-finit-local-zero} option instructs the compiler to
1699 initialize local @code{INTEGER}, @code{REAL}, and @code{COMPLEX}
1700 variables to zero, @code{LOGICAL} variables to false, and
1701 @code{CHARACTER} variables to a string of null bytes. Finer-grained
1702 initialization options are provided by the
1703 @option{-finit-integer=@var{n}},
1704 @option{-finit-real=@var{<zero|inf|-inf|nan|snan>}} (which also initializes
1705 the real and imaginary parts of local @code{COMPLEX} variables),
1706 @option{-finit-logical=@var{<true|false>}}, and
1707 @option{-finit-character=@var{n}} (where @var{n} is an ASCII character
1708 value) options. Components of derived type variables will be initialized
1709 according to these flags only with @option{-finit-derived}. These options do
1710 not initialize

1718 @end itemize
1719 (These limitations may be removed in future releases).
1720
1721 Note that the @option{-finit-real=nan} option initializes @code{REAL}
1722 and @code{COMPLEX} variables with a quiet NaN. For a signalling NaN
1723 use @option{-finit-real=snan}; note, however, that compile-time
1724 optimizations may convert them into quiet NaN and that trapping
1725 needs to be enabled (e.g. via @option{-ffpe-trap}).
1726
1727 Finally, note that enabling any of the @option{-finit-*} options will
1728 silence warnings that would have been emitted by @option{-Wuninitialized}
1729 for the affected local variables.

1731 @item -falign-commons
1732 @opindex @code{falign-commons}
1733 @cindex alignment of @code{COMMON} blocks
1734 By default, @command{gfortran} enforces proper alignment of all variables in a
1735 @code{COMMON} block by padding them as needed. On certain platforms this is mandatory,
1736 on others it increases performance. If a @code{COMMON} block is not declared with
1737 consistent data types everywhere, this padding can cause trouble, and
1738 @option{-fno-align-commons} can be used to disable automatic alignment. The
1739 same form of this option should be used for all files that share a @code{COMMON} block.
1740 To avoid potential alignment issues in @code{COMMON} blocks, it is recommended to order
1741 objects from largest to smallest.

1745 @cindex re-association of parenthesized expressions
1746 By default the parentheses in expression are honored for all optimization
1747 levels such that the compiler does not do any re-association. Using
1748 @option{-fno-protect-parens} allows the compiler to reorder @code{REAL} and
1749 @code{COMPLEX} expressions to produce faster code. Note that for the re-association
1750 optimization @option{-fno-signed-zeros} and @option{-fno-trapping-math}
1751 need to be in effect. The parentheses protection is enabled by default, unless
1752 @option{-Ofast} is given.
1753
1754 @item -frealloc-lhs
1755 @opindex @code{frealloc-lhs}
1756 @cindex Reallocate the LHS in assignments
1757 An allocatable left-hand side of an intrinsic assignment is automatically
1758 (re)allocated if it is either unallocated or has a different shape. The
1759 option is enabled by default except when @option{-std=f95} is given. See

1764 @cindex Elimination of functions with identical argument lists
1765 Functions with identical argument lists are eliminated within
1766 statements, regardless of whether these functions are marked
1767 @code{PURE} or not. For example, in
1768 @smallexample
1769 a = f(b,c) + f(b,c)
1770 @end smallexample
1771 there will only be a single call to @code{f}. This option only works
1772 if @option{-ffrontend-optimize} is in effect.
1773
1774 @item -ffrontend-optimize
1775 @opindex @code{frontend-optimize}
1776 @cindex Front-end optimization
1777 This option performs front-end optimization, based on manipulating
1778 parts the Fortran parse tree. Enabled by default by any @option{-O}
1779 option. Optimizations enabled by this option include inlining calls
1780 to @code{MATMUL}, elimination of identical function calls within
1781 expressions, removing unnecessary calls to @code{TRIM} in comparisons
1782 and assignments and replacing @code{TRIM(a)} with
1783 @code{a(1:LEN_TRIM(a))}. It can be deselected by specifying
1784 @option{-fno-frontend-optimize}.
