following
new
and
changed
features:
New
or
changed
compiler
options
and
suboptions:
v
The
-qflttrap=nanq
suboption
detects
all
NaN
values
handled
or
generated
by
floating
point
instructions,
including
those
not
created
by
invalid
operations.
v
The
-qport=nullarg
suboption
treats
an
empty
argument,
which
is
delimited
by
a
left
parenthesis
and
a
comma,
two
commas,
or
a
comma
and
a
right
parenthesis,
as
a
null
argument.
v
The
-qmodule=mangle81
option
provides
compatibility
with
Version
8.1
module
naming
conventions
for
non-intrinsic
modules.
v
The
-qsaveopt
option
saves
the
command-line
options
used
for
compiling
a
source
file
in
the
corresponding
object
file.
v
The
-qversion
option
provides
the
version
and
release
for
the
invoking
compiler.
The
following
XL
Fortran
enhancements
adapted
from
the
Fortran
2003
draft
standard:
v
The
2003std
and
2003pure
run-time
options
provide
conformance
checking
of
code
for
adherence
to
the
draft
standard.
v
The
ISO_C_BINDING
intrinsic
module,
BIND
attribute
and
statement,
module
variables,
common
block,
subroutine/function
and
-qalign=bindc
compiler
suboption
provide
support
for
interoperability
with
C.
v
PUBLIC/PRIVATE
attribute
on
derived
type
components.
v
The
ASSOCIATE
construct
associates
an
entity
with
either
a
variable
or
the
value
of
an
expression.
v
Command-line
argument
intrinsics:
–
COMMAND_ARGUMENT_COUNT
–

–
GET_ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE
v
The
FLUSH
statement
makes
data
from
an
external
file
available
to
other
processes.
v
The
IOMSG=
specifier
on
the
data-transfer
operation,
file-positioning,
FLUSH,
and
file
inquiry
statements.
v
The
ISO_FORTRAN_ENV
intrinsic
module
provides
public
entities
relating
to
the
Fortran
environment.
v
The
NEW_LINE
intrinsic
returns
a
new
line
character.
v
The
IMPORT
statement
makes
named
entities
from
the
host
scoping
unit
accessible
in
the
interface
body
by
host
association.
v
The

-
The
following
performance-related
directives
and
compiler
options/suboptions
have
been
added:
v
-qarch
and
-qtune
compiler
suboptions
that
provide
support
for
POWER5
and
PowerPC
970
architectures
(ppc64gr,
ppc64grsq,
pwr5,
and
ppc970).
v
The
-qshowpdf
option,
used
together
with
-qpdf1,
provides
additional
call
and
block
count
profiling
information
to
an
executable.
v
Optimization
utilities
showpdf
and
mergepdf
provide
enhanced
information
about
PDF-directed
compilation
v
The
-qdirectstorage
option
informs
the
compiler
that
a
given
compilation
unit
may
reference
write-through-enabled
or
cache-inhibited
storage.
v
Directives
NOVECTOR,
NOSIMD,
and
the
ALIGNX
built-in
subroutine
provide
fine-grain
control
of
the
auto-vectorization
and
auto-SIMD
vectorization
features
in
the
compiler.
v
The
LOOPID
directive
marks
a
loop
with
a
scope-unique
identifier.
The
identifier
can
be
used
by
the
BLOCK_LOOP
and
other
directives
to
control
loop-specific
transformations.
Information
on
the
loop
transformations
can
be
shown
in
using
the
-qreport
compiler
of
option
.
v
The
EIEIO
directive
helps
in
with
cache
and
memory
management.
v
The
PROTECTED
STREAM
directives
allow
for
management
of
protected
streams
so
they
are
not
replaced
by
any
hardware-detected
streams.
v
The
SWDIV
and
SWDIV_NOCHK
intrinsics
provide
software
floating-point
division
algorithms.
Other
features:
v
The
FRE
and
FRSQRTES
PowerPC
floating-point
intrinsic
functions.
v
The
POPCNT,
and
POPCNTB
intrinsics
provide
set
bit
counts
in
registers
for
data
objects,
and
the
POPPAR
intrinsic
determines
the
parity
for
a
data
object.
v
32-bit
and
64-bit
modules
are
now
included
in
one
file.
v
Allowing
multiple
include
paths
v
Availability
of
the
MASS
vector
libraries
for
use
with
vectorized
applications.
v
A
man
page
is
provided
for
the
compiler
invocation
commands
and
for
each
command-line
utility.
The
man
page
for
compiler
invocations
replaces
the
help
file,
which
was
provided
in
previous
versions.

Introduction
This
document
describes
Version
9.1
of
IBM®
XL
Fortran
Enterprise
Edition
and
explains
how
to
compile,
link,
and
run
programs
that
are
written
in
the
Fortran
language.
How
to
Use
This
Document
This
document
is
for
anyone
who
wants
to
work
with
the
XL
Fortran
compiler,
who
is
familiar
with
the
AIX
operating
system,
and
who
has
some
previous
Fortran
programming
experience.
This
document
can
help
you
understand
what
the
features
of
the
compiler
are,
especially
the
options,
and
how
to
use
them
for
effective
software
development.
This
document
is
not
the
place
to
find
help
on:
Installation,
which
is
covered
in
the
documents
that
are
listed
in
“XL
Fortran
and
Operating
System
Publications”
on
page
4.
Writing
Fortran
programs,
which
is
covered
in
the
XL
Fortran
Enterprise
Edition
for
AIX
Language
Reference.
The
first
part
of
this
document
is
organized
according
to
the
steps
necessary
to
compile,
link,
and
run
a
program,
followed
by
information
on
particular
features
of
the
XL
Fortran
compiler
and
the
programs
it
produces.
The
second
part
discusses
more
general
software-development
topics.
Depending
on
your
level
of
experience
and
what
you
want
to
do,
you
may
need
to
start
reading
at
a
particular
point
or
read
in
a
particular
sequence.
If
you
want
to:
Set
up
the
compiler
for
yourself
or
someone
else,
read
“Where
to
Find
Installation
Instructions”
on
page
11.
Upgrade
from
an
earlier
version
of
the
XL
Fortran
compiler,
read
“Avoiding
or
Fixing
Upgrade
Problems”
on
page
25.
Create
customized
compiler
defaults,
read
“Customizing
the
Configuration
File”
on
page
15.
Understand
what
all
the
compiler
options
are
for
and
how
they
relate
to
each
other,
browse
through
“Summary
of
the
XL
Fortran
Compiler
Options”
on
page
67.
Look
up
a
particular
option
by
name,
scan
alphabetically
through
“Detailed
Descriptions
of
the
XL
Fortran
Compiler
Options”
on
page
90.
Port
a
program
to
XL
Fortran,
read
“Options
for
Compatibility”
on
page
79
to
see
what
options
you
may
need;
then
read
“Porting
Programs
to
XL
Fortran”
on

How
to
Read
the
Syntax
Diagrams
and
Statements
This
document
uses
notation
often
referred
to
as
“railroad
tracks”
to
illustrate
syntax
for
Fortran
statements
and
AIX
commands.
Syntax
for
compiler
options
is
illustrated
through
statements
using
notation
often
referred
to
as
“braces
and
brackets”.
Fortran
keywords
are
shown
in
uppercase:
for
example,
OPEN,
COMMON,
and
END.
You
must
spell
them
exactly
as
they
are
shown,
although
they
are
not
case-sensitive.
Variable
names
and
user-specified
names
appear
in
lowercase
italics;
for
example,
array_element_name.
If
a
variable
or
user-specified
name
ends
in
_list,
it
means
that
you
can
provide
a
list
of
terms
that
are
separated
by
commas.
You
must
enter
punctuation
marks,
parentheses,
arithmetic
operators,
and
other
special
characters
as
part
of
the
syntax.
Syntax
Diagrams
v
Read
syntax
diagrams
from
left
to
right
and
from
top
to
bottom,
following
the
path
of
the
line:
–
The
��───
symbol
indicates
the
beginning
of
a
command.
–
The
───�
symbol
indicates
that
the
command
syntax
continues
on
the
next
line.
–
The
�───
symbol
indicates
that
a
command
is
continued
from
the
previous
line.
–
The
───��
symbol
indicates
the
end
of
a
command.
–
Diagrams
of
syntactical
units
smaller
than
complete
statements
start
with
the
�───
symbol
and
end
with
the
───�
symbol.
–
Constructs,
interface
blocks
and
derived
type
definitions
consist
of
several
individual
statements.
For
such
items,
individual
syntax
diagrams
show
the
required
order
for
the
equivalent
Fortran
statements.v
Required
items
appear
on
the
main
path
(the
main
path):
��
command_name
required_argument
��
v
Optional
items
appear
below
the
main
path:
��
command_name
optional_argument
��
v
If
you
can
choose
from
two
or
more
items,
they
appear
vertically,
in
a
stack.
If
you
must
choose
one
of
the
items,
one
item
of
the
stack
appears
on
the
main
path:
��
command_name
required_argument
required_argument
��
If
choosing
one
of
the
items
is
optional,
the
entire
stack
appears
below
the
main
path:

An
arrow
returning
to
the
left
above
the
main
line
(a
″repeat

indicates
an
item
that
can
be
repeated
and
the
separator
character
if
it
is
other
than
a
blank:
��

A

arrow
above
a
stack
indicates
that
you
can
make
more
than
one
choice
from
the
stacked
items.

Interpret
the

Enter
the
keyword
EXAMPLE.
v
Enter
a
value
for
char_constant.
v
Enter
a
value

Optionally,
enter
a

v
Enter
at

you
must
put
a
comma
between
each.
v
Optionally,
enter
the
value
of
at
least
one
name
for
name_list.
If
you

Syntax
