- Files
- FORTRAN.PPC.1.1a1.SEA
- Double click on this file to extract the following update files:
- FortranLibPPC.o
- FORTRAN.PPC 1.0->1.1a1 update
-
- Installation
-
- Drag FortranLibPPC.o into the PPCFLibraries folder.
- (FortranLibPPC.o will replace the existing FortranLibPPC.o)
-
- Save a backup copy of FORTRAN.PPC in your "FORTRAN Tools & Scripts" folder.
- Version 1.0 is the baseline this patch is based on.
- It is important to keep a backup copy of the FORTRAN.PPC 1.0 tool.
- Double click on the file FORTRAN.PPC 1.0->1.1a1 update in order to update
- the FORTRAN.PPC file.
-
- Notes:
-
- This build is called 1.1a1, because it is the first release of the eventual
- 1.1 compiler. It is alpha (a1) because it is not yet feature complete.
- (i.e. Namelist is still not implemented) It is more robust than
- the 1.0 final because many of the changes are bug fixes.
-
- 1.) If you get Rang out of Registers, GetaSymbol, or any other compile
- time error with the new back end you should get a line number for
- the routine it occured in. Please email us these routines if possible.
- Our email address is LangSys@aol.com
- 2.) We have determined that Assertion errors can be caused by three
- different conditions.
- a.) MPW needs a bigger memory partition.
- b.) There is no more hard disk space to write to.
- c.) There is a bug in the compiler.
- If you eliminate the first two conditions please email us a bug report.
-
-
- What is new since 1.0:
-
- Alpha 1
- variables in formats have been implemented
- fixed several optimization runtime errors at -opt=2 and -opt=3
- fixed a compile time crash that can occur at -opt=3
- -ansi fixed
- fix for some sizes of block data that caused runtime errors
- object files were not being released properly if you created over 50 on one compile line
- fix for power function (-1)**n where n is odd.
- Scrolling with -vax behaves like 3.3
- fixed optimization and intermittent link problem where main is said to be missing.
- fixed a bug with trim due to nested i/o
- other more obscure bug fixes.
