- <h3 class="section">Proposed Extensions</h3>
- <p>Here’s a list of proposed extensions for the GNU Fortran compiler, in no particular
- order. Most of these are necessary to be fully compatible with
- existing Fortran compilers, but they are not part of the official
- J3 Fortran 95 standard.
- </p>
- <a name="Compiler-extensions_003a"></a>
- <h4 class="subsection">Compiler extensions:</h4>
- <ul>
- <li> User-specified alignment rules for structures.
- </li><li> Automatically extend single precision constants to double.
- </li><li> Compile code that conserves memory by dynamically allocating common and
- module storage either on stack or heap.
- </li><li> Compile flag to generate code for array conformance checking (suggest -CC).
- </li><li> User control of symbol names (underscores, etc).
- </li><li> Compile setting for maximum size of stack frame size before spilling
- parts to static or heap.
- </li><li> Flag to force local variables into static space.
- </li><li> Flag to force local variables onto stack.
- </li></ul>
- <a name="Environment-Options"></a>
- <h4 class="subsection">Environment Options</h4>
- <ul>
- <li> Pluggable library modules for random numbers, linear algebra.
- LA should use BLAS calling conventions.
- </li><li> Environment variables controlling actions on arithmetic exceptions like
- overflow, underflow, precision loss—Generate NaN, abort, default.
- action.
- </li><li> Set precision for fp units that support it (i387).
- </li><li> Variable for setting fp rounding mode.
- </li><li> Variable to fill uninitialized variables with a user-defined bit
- pattern.
- </li><li> Environment variable controlling filename that is opened for that unit
- number.
- </li><li> Environment variable to clear/trash memory being freed.
- </li><li> Environment variable to control tracing of allocations and frees.
- </li><li> Environment variable to display allocated memory at normal program end.
- </li><li> Environment variable for filename for * IO-unit.
- </li><li> Environment variable for temporary file directory.
- </li><li> Environment variable forcing standard output to be line buffered (Unix).
- </li></ul>
