- <h4 class="subsection">7.4.1 Naming conventions</h4>
- <p>According the Fortran standard, valid Fortran names consist of a letter
- between <code>A</code> to <code>Z</code>, <code>a</code> to <code>z</code>, digits <code>0</code>,
- <code>1</code> to <code>9</code> and underscores (<code>_</code>) with the restriction
- that names may only start with a letter. As vendor extension, the
- dollar sign (<code>$</code>) is additionally permitted with the option
- <samp>-fdollar-ok</samp>, but not as first character and only if the
- target system supports it.
- </p>
- <p>By default, the procedure name is the lower-cased Fortran name with an
- appended underscore (<code>_</code>); using <samp>-fno-underscoring</samp> no
- underscore is appended while <code>-fsecond-underscore</code> appends two
- underscores. Depending on the target system and the calling convention,
- the procedure might be additionally dressed; for instance, on 32bit
- Windows with <code>stdcall</code>, an at-sign <code>@</code> followed by an integer
- number is appended. For the changing the calling convention, see
- see <a href="GNU-Fortran-Compiler-Directives.html#GNU-Fortran-Compiler-Directives">GNU Fortran Compiler Directives</a>.
- </p>
- <p>For common blocks, the same convention is used, i.e. by default an
- underscore is appended to the lower-cased Fortran name. Blank commons
- have the name <code>__BLNK__</code>.
- </p>
- <p>For procedures and variables declared in the specification space of a
- module, the name is formed by <code>__</code>, followed by the lower-cased
- module name, <code>_MOD_</code>, and the lower-cased Fortran name. Note that
- no underscore is appended.
