  77.  
  78.                     This chapter briefly describes the bugs that
  79.                     have been fixed in the compiler since release
  80.                     7.1.  Some of the headings are followed by a
  81.                     Silicon Graphics incident report number.
  82.  
  83.                        +o Very slow compilation of Fortran file.
  84.                          Under certain circumstances, the
  85.                          compilation of a certain Fortran source
  86.                          code file would take approximately 45
  87.                          minutes to compile.
  88.                          This has been fixed (Bug #475298).
  89.  
  90.                        +o Datapool: padding between datapool elements
  91.                          Datapool items were always aligned on
  92.                          doubleword boundary, regardless of their
  93.                          types.  This has been fixed so that they
  94.                          are aligned according to the type of each
  95.                          item. (Bug #453040).
  96.  
  97.                        +o Compiler coredumps when compiling with -32
  98.                          -g option.
  99.                          Under certain circumstances, the compiler
  100.                          would dump core when compiling files -32
  101.                          -g.  This has been fixed.  (Bug #372302)
  102.  
  103.                        +o Namelist I/O problem
  104.                          Fixed the problem in namelist I/O which
  105.                          resulted in the error "variable not in
  106.                          namelist" (Bug #359690)
  107.  
  108.                        +o Structures misalignemnt
  109.                          Fixed a problem where structures were not
  110.                          aligned properly and caused a bus error.
  111.                          (Bug #443526)
  112.  
  113.                        +o Rejecting -p flag
  114.                          The following code would core dump when
  115.                          compiled with -p.
  116.  
  117.                          a = 1.0
  118.                          b = 2.0
  119.                          c = matmul(a,b)
  120.                          print *, c
  121.                          stop
  122.                          end

  138.  
  139.                          As -p is no longer supported; the user
  140.                          should use ssrun -pcsamp, etc. to do pc-
  141.                          sampling.  The compiler was changed to
  142.                          reject -p with a warning.  (Bug #444089)
  143.  
  144.                        +o f77 -n32 causes problems reading
  145.                          unformatted files
  146.                          Under certain circumstances programs
  147.                          compiled -n32 would have problems reading
  148.                          unformatted files.  This has been fixed.
  149.                          (Bug #454102)
  150.  
  151.                        +o n32/64  f77 compilers do not accept
  152.                          -NCxxxx, xxxx>1000
  153.                          Code with more than 1000 continuation lines
  154.                          would get an error similar to the
  155.                          following:
  156.  
  157.                          Command-line error(2414): Invalid number of continuation lines in -NC
  158.  
  159.                          This has been fixed.  (Bug #461738)
  160.  
  161.                        +o f77 structure alignment problem when using
  162.                          -32 compiler option, bus error
  163.                          This has been fixed.  (Bug #468837)

  165.                        +o f77 unformatted write with negative implied
  166.                          do fails
  167.                          The following code fragment would not be
  168.                          compiled correctly:
  169.  
  170.                          c
  171.                          c  This does not work when using f77 -mips4

  174.                                  write(11) imax,1,1
  175.                                  write(11) (xt(i),i=imax,1,-1),
  176.                               &          (yt(i),i=imax,1,-1),
  177.                               &          (zt(i),i=imax,1,-1)
  178.                                  close(11)
  179.                          c
  180.  
  181.                          This has been fixed.  (Bug #468899)
  182.  
  183.                        +o f77: compiler error: can't find local for
  184.                          idn = 10, offset = 40
  185.                          The following code would not be compiled

  231.                        +o f77 -64 fails on close of non-existent file
  232.                          Closing a non-existent file causes error
