  70. <p>According the Fortran standard, valid Fortran names consist of a letter
  71. between <code>A</code> to <code>Z</code>, <code>a</code> to <code>z</code>, digits <code>0</code>,
  72. <code>1</code> to <code>9</code> and underscores (<code>_</code>) with the restriction
  73. that names may only start with a letter. As vendor extension, the
  74. dollar sign (<code>$</code>) is additionally permitted with the option
  75. <samp>-fdollar-ok</samp>, but not as first character and only if the
  76. target system supports it.
  77. </p>
  78. <p>By default, the procedure name is the lower-cased Fortran name with an
  79. appended underscore (<code>_</code>); using <samp>-fno-underscoring</samp> no
  80. underscore is appended while <code>-fsecond-underscore</code> appends two
  81. underscores. Depending on the target system and the calling convention,
  82. the procedure might be additionally dressed; for instance, on 32bit
  83. Windows with <code>stdcall</code>, an at-sign <code>@</code> followed by an integer
  84. number is appended. For the changing the calling convention, see
  85. see <a href="GNU-Fortran-Compiler-Directives.html#GNU-Fortran-Compiler-Directives">GNU Fortran Compiler Directives</a>.
  86. </p>
  87. <p>For common blocks, the same convention is used, i.e. by default an
  88. underscore is appended to the lower-cased Fortran name. Blank commons
  89. have the name <code>__BLNK__</code>.
  90. </p>
  91. <p>For procedures and variables declared in the specification space of a
  92. module, the name is formed by <code>__</code>, followed by the lower-cased
  93. module name, <code>_MOD_</code>, and the lower-cased Fortran name. Note that
  94. no underscore is appended.
