DESCRIPTION¶
fc is a script intended to be used as a front end to the
f2c
FORTRAN-to-C translator. It is supposed to make the whole
f2c and C
compiler setup look like a real Fortran compiler.
File arguments with a
.f suffix are compiled as Fortran source. Files
with a
.F suffix are passed through the C preprocessor
cpp(1)
first. Files with
.c (C source) or
.s (assembly source) suffixes
are passed to the C compiler directly. Files with a
.e suffix are
treated as efl source files, and files with a
.r suffix are treated as
RATFOR source files.
OPTIONS¶
- -o objfile
- Produce an output executable named objfile rather than using the
default name a.out.
- -c
- Do not call the linker; instead, leave relocatable object files as
*.o.
- -S
- Produce assembly output as file.s
- -C
- Compile in extra code to check that array subscripts are in bounds.
- -l library
- Libraries specified with this option are passed to the linker.
- -U def
- Definitions specified with this option are passed to C compiler (for .c
files) or to cpp (for .F files) to remove definition.
- -u
- Complain about undeclared variables.
- -v, --version
- Print version of f2c in use
- -w
- Omit all warning messages.
- -w66
- Omit Fortran 66 (Fortran IV) compatibility warning messages.
- -D switch
- The given switch is passed to the C compiler (for .c files), to cpp (for
.F files) and to f2c.
- -I includepath
- Passed to the C compiler (for .c files), to cpp (for .F files) and to
f2c.
- -Ntnnn
- Allow nnn entries in table t.
- -P
- Emit .P files.
BUGS¶
fc isn't really very good -- try fort77 (1), which does a better job.
This manual page isn't really very good either...
