f77(1)

NAME

f77 - f77-style shell script to compile and load fortran, C, and assembly code

SYNOPSIS

f77 [options] files ...

DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the f77 command. This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

f77 is a style shell script to compile and load fortran, C, and assembly codes. It is based on a f77 script which came with earlier versions of Slackware. It got improved to be a little more resistant to some fortran 77 extensions, not handled by f2c, so far:

•

DATA statements can now be placed anywhere in the subroutine initialization code.

•

include's are always replaced by '#include'

•

Line continuation of the form <tab><digit> is allowed.

•

The bitfunctions ibset, ibclr, btest, ishft, iand and ior are available in an external library. (They have to be declared in the subroutine header if one wants to use them!).

•

variable initialization in the variable definitions are also possible now. f77reorder converts them to definitions followed by data statements as the f77 standards requests.

•

Common Block definitions which are continues over lines don't have to have a comma separating variables over the line break. f77reorder does insert it.
