>Description:
f77(1) says "From the user side of view this FORTRAN to C
translation is completely transparent - f77 looks like a
traditional FORTRAN compiler."
However, pop this in a file:
SUBROUTINE XMDF2T(APARM)
IMPLICIT DOUBLE PRECISION(A)
INTEGER INT1
DATA FR/0D0/
INTEGER INT2
99998 END
and compile using "f77 -c tst.f":
Error on line 5 of tst.f: Statement order error: declaration after DATA
f77 compilers will eat this, but f2c will not. This is briefly
mentioned in f2c.ps.
>How-To-Repeat:
See above.
This is causing me major grief trying to cook a FreeBSD port for
the FeatFlow CFD package (www.featflow.de). I realize f2c isn't
under our control. Therefore the man page should at least be
updated with caveats.
>Fix:
Please update man page with caveats of use resulting from using f2c
over a FORTRAN compiler. Thanks.
Note: f77 and f2c from ports generates the same behavior, so the
f77 port man page should probably be updated as well.
