====== index for f2c ============

FILES:

f2c.h    Include file necessary for compiling output of the converter.
    See the second NOTE below.

f2c.1    Man page for f2c.

f2c.1t    Source for f2c.1 (to be processed by troff -man or nroff -man).

libf77    Library of non I/O support routines the generated C may need.
    Fortran main programs result in a C function named MAIN__ that
    is meant to be invoked by the main() in libf77.

libi77    Library of Fortran I/O routines the generated C may need.
    Note that some vendors (e.g., BSD, Sun and MIPS) provide a
    libF77 and libI77 that are incompatible with f2c -- they
    provide some differently named routines or routines with the
    names that f2c expects, but with different calling sequences.
    On such systems, the recommended procedure is to merge
    libf77 and libi77 into a single library, say libf2c, to install
    it where you can access it by specifying -lf2c , and to adjust
    the definition of link_msg in sysdep.c appropriately.

f2c.ps    Postscript for a technical report on f2c.  After you strip the
    mail header, the first line should be "%!PS".

fixes    The complete change log, reporting bug fixes and other changes.
    (Some recent change-log entries are given below).

fc    A shell script that uses f2c and imitates much of the behavior
    of commonly found f77 commands.  You will almost certainly
    need to adjust some of the shell-variable assignments to make
    this script work on your system.


SUBDIRECTORY:

f2c/src    Source for the converter itself, including a file of checksums
    and source for a program to compute the checksums (to verify
    correct transmission of the source), is available: ask netlib to
        send all from f2c/src
    If the checksums show damage to just a few source files, or if
    the change log file (see "fixes" below) reports corrections to
    some source files, you can request those files individually
    "from f2c/src".  For example, to get defs.h and xsum0.out, you
    would ask netlib to
        send defs.h xsum0.out from f2c/src
    "all from f2c/src" is 649038 bytes long.

    Tip: if asked to send over 99,000 bytes in one request, netlib
    breaks the shipment into 1000 line pieces and sends each piece
    separately (since otherwise some mailers might gag).  To avoid
    the hassle of reassembling the pieces, try to keep each request
    under 99,000 bytes long.  The final number in each line of
    xsum0.out gives the length of each file in f2c/src.  For
    example,
        send exec.c expr.c from f2c/src
        send format.c format_data.c from f2c/src
    will give you slightly less hassle than
        send exec.c expr.c format.c format_data.c from f2c/src

    If you have trouble generating gram.c, you can ask netlib to
        send gram.c from f2c/src
    Then `xsum gram.c` should report
        gram.c    ecbbc041    57191

NOTE:    For now, you may exercise f2c by sending netlib a message whose
    first line is "execute f2c" and whose remaining lines are
    the Fortran 77 source that you wish to have converted.
    Return mail brings you the resulting C, with f2c's error
    messages between #ifdef uNdEfInEd and #endif at the end.
    (To understand line numbers in the error messages, regard
    the "execute f2c" line as line 0.  It is stripped away by
    the netlib software before f2c sees your Fortran input.)
    Options described in the man page may be transmitted to
    netlib by having the first line of input be a comment
    whose first 6 characters are "c$f2c " and whose remaining
    characters are the desired options, e.g., "c$f2c -R -u".
    This scheme may change -- ask netlib to
               send index from f2c
        if you do not get the behavior you expect.

    During the initial experimental period, incoming Fortran
    will be saved in a file.  Don't send any secrets!


BUGS:    Please send bug reports (including the shortest example
    you can find that illustrates the bug) to research!dmg
    or [e-mail] .  You might first check whether
    the bug goes away when you turn optimization off.


NOTE:    f2c.h defines several types, e.g., real, integer, doublereal.
    The definitions in f2c.h are suitable for most machines, but if
    your machine has sizeof(double) > 2*sizeof(long), you may need
    to adjust f2c.h appropriately.  f2c assumes
        sizeof(doublecomplex) = 2*sizeof(doublereal)
        sizeof(doublereal) = sizeof(complex)
        sizeof(doublereal) = 2*sizeof(real)
        sizeof(real) = sizeof(integer)
        sizeof(real) = sizeof(logical)
        sizeof(real) = 2*sizeof(shortint)
    EQUIVALENCEs may not be translated correctly if these
    assumptions are violated.

    There exists a C compiler that objects to the lines
        typedef VOID C_f;    /* complex function */
        typedef VOID H_f;    /* character function */
        typedef VOID Z_f;    /* double complex function */
    in f2c.h .  If yours is such a compiler, do two things:
    1. Complain to your vendor about this compiler bug.
    2. Find the line
        #define VOID void
       in f2c.h and change it to
        #define VOID int
    (For readability, the f2c.h lines shown above have had two
    tabs inserted before their first character.)

FTP:    All the material described above is now available by anonymous
    ftp from research.att.com -- look in dist/f2c .  You must
    uncompress the .Z files once you have a copy of them, e.g., by
        uncompress *.Z

-----------------
Recent change log (partial)
-----------------

Tue Jan 15 12:00:24 EST 1991:
  Fix bug when two equivalence groups are merged, the second with
nonzero offset, and the result is then merged into a common block.
Example:
      INTEGER W(3), X(3), Y(3), Z(3)
      COMMON /ZOT/ Z
      EQUIVALENCE (W(1),X(1)), (X(2),Y(1)), (Z(3),X(1))
***** W WAS GIVEN THE WRONG OFFSET
  Recognize Fortran 90's optional NML= in NAMELIST READs and WRITEs.
(Currently NML= and FMT= are treated as synonyms -- there's no
error message if, e.g., NML= specifies a format.)
  libi77: minor adjustment to allow internal READs from character
string constants in read-only memory.

Wed Jan 23 00:38:48 EST 1991:
  Allow hex, octal, and binary constants to have the qualifying letter
(z, x, o, or b) either before or after the quoted string containing the
digits.  For now this change will not be reflected in f2c.ps .

Tue Jan 29 16:23:45 EST 1991:
  Arrange for character-valued statement functions to give results of
the right length (that of the statement function's name).

Wed Jan 30 07:05:32 EST 1991:
  More tweaks for character-valued statement functions: an error
check and an adjustment so a right-hand side of nonconstant length
(e.g., a substring) is handled right.

Thu Jan 31 13:53:44 EST 1991:
  Add a test after the cleanup call generated for I/O statements with
ERR= or END= clauses to catch the unlikely event that the cleanup
routine encounters an error.

Tue Feb  5 01:39:36 EST 1991:
  Change Mktemp to mktmp (for the benefit of systems so brain-damaged
that they do not distinguish case in external names -- and that for
some reason want to load mktemp).  Try to get xsum0.out right this
time (it somehow didn't get updated on 4 Feb. 1991).
  Add note to libi77/README about adjusting the interpretation of
RECL= specifiers in OPENs for direct unformatted I/O.

Thu Feb  7 17:24:42 EST 1991:
  New option -r casts values of REAL functions, including intrinsics,
to REAL.  This only matters for unportable code like
    real r
    r = asin(1.)
    if (r .eq. asin(1.)) ...
[The behavior of such code varies with the Fortran compiler used --
and sometimes is affected by compiler options.]  For now, the man page
at the end of f2c.ps is the only part of f2c.ps that reflects this new
option.

Fri Feb  8 18:12:51 EST 1991:
  Cast pointer differences passed as arguments to the appropriate type.
This matters, e.g., with MSDOS compilers that yield a long pointer
difference but have int == short.
  Disallow nonpositive dimensions.

Fri Feb 15 12:24:15 EST 1991:
  Change %d to %ld in sprintf call in putpower in putpcc.c.
  Free more memory (e.g. allowing translation of larger Fortran
files under MS-DOS).
  Recognize READ (character expression)
as formatted I/O with the format given by the character expression.
  Update year in Notice.

Mon Mar  4 15:19:42 EST 1991:
  Fix bug in passing the real part of a complex argument to an intrinsic
function.  Omit unneeded parentheses in nested calls to intrinsics.
Example:
    subroutine foo(x, y)
    complex y
    x = exp(sin(real(y))) + exp(imag(y))
    end

Fri Mar  8 15:05:42 EST 1991:
  Fix a comment in expr.c; omit safstrncpy.c (which had bugs in
cases not used by f2c).

Wed Mar 13 02:27:23 EST 1991:
  Initialize firstmemblock->next in mem_init in mem.c .  [On most
systems it was fortuituously 0, but with System V, -lmalloc could
trip on this missed initialization.]

Wed Mar 13 11:47:42 EST 1991:
  Fix a reference to freed memory.

Wed Mar 27 00:42:19 EST 1991:
  Fix a memory fault caused by such illegal Fortran as
       function foo
       x = 3
       logical foo    ! declaration among executables
       foo=.false.    ! used to suffer memory fault
       end

Fri Apr  5 08:30:31 EST 1991:
  Fix loss of % in some format expressions, e.g.
    write(*,'(1h%)')
  Fix botch introduced 27 March 1991 that caused subroutines with
multiple entry points to have extraneous declarations of ret_val.

Fri Apr  5 12:44:02 EST 1991
  Try again to omit extraneous ret_val declarations -- this morning's
fix was sometimes wrong.

Mon Apr  8 13:47:06 EDT 1991:
  Arrange for s_rnge to have the right prototype under -A -C .

Wed Apr 17 13:36:03 EDT 1991:
  New fatal error message for apparent invocation of a recursive
statement function.

Thu Apr 25 15:13:37 EDT 1991:
  F2c and libi77 adjusted so NAMELIST works with -i2.  (I forgot
about -i2 when adding NAMELIST.)  This required a change to f2c.h
(that only affects NAMELIST I/O under -i2.)  Man-page description of
-i2 adjusted to reflect that -i2 stores array lengths in short ints.

Fri Apr 26 02:54:41 EDT 1991:
  Libi77: fix some bugs in NAMELIST reading of multi-dimensional arrays
(file rsne.c).

Tue May  7 09:04:48 EDT 1991:
  gram.c added to f2c/src (for folks who have trouble generating it.  It
is not in "all from f2c", nor in the list of current timestamps below.)

Thu May  9 02:13:51 EDT 1991:
  Omit a trailing space in expr.c (could cause a false xsum value if
a mailer drops the trailing blank).

Thu May 16 13:14:59 EDT 1991:
  libi77: increase LEFBL in lio.h to overcome a NeXT bug.
  Tweak for compilers that recognize "nested" comments: inside comments,
turn /* into /+ (as well as */ into +/).

Sat May 25 11:44:25 EDT 1991:
  libf77: s_rnge: declare line long int rather than int.

Fri May 31 07:51:50 EDT 1991:
  libf77: system_: officially return status.

Current timestamps of files in "all from f2c/src", sorted by time,
appear below (mm/dd/year hh:mm:ss).  To bring your source up to date,
obtain source files with a timestamp later than the time shown in your
