This directory contains the f2c library packaged for use with g77 to configure
|
|
and build automatically (in principle!) as part of the top-level configure and
|
|
make steps. This depends on the makefile and configure fragments in ../f.
|
|
|
|
Some small changes have been made to the f2c distributions of lib[FI]77 which
|
|
come from <ftp:bell-labs.com/netlib/f2c/> and are maintained (excellently) by
|
|
David M. Gay <dmg@bell-labs.com>. See the Notice files for copyright
|
|
information. I'll try to get the changes rolled into the f2c distribution.
|
|
|
|
Files that come directly from netlib are either maintained in the
|
|
gcc/f/runtime/ directory under their original names or, if they
|
|
are not pertinent for g77's version of libf2c, under their original
|
|
names with `.netlib' appended. For example, gcc/f/runtime/permissions.netlib
|
|
is a copy of f2c's top-level`permissions' file in the netlib distribution.
|
|
In this case, it applies only to the relevant portions of the libF77/ and
|
|
libI77/ directories; it does not apply to the libU77/ directory, which is
|
|
distributed under different licensing arrangements. Similarly,
|
|
the `makefile.netlib' files in libF77/ and libI77/ are copies of
|
|
the respective `makefile' files in the netlib distribution, but
|
|
are not used when building g77's version of libf2c.
|
|
|
|
The `README.netlib' files in libF77/ and libI77/ thus might be
|
|
interesting, but should not be taken as guidelines for how to
|
|
configure and build libf2c in g77's distribution.
|
|
|
|
The packaging for auto-configuration was done by Dave Love <d.love@dl.ac.uk>.
|
|
Minor changes have been made by James Craig Burley <burley@gnu.ai.mit.edu>,
|
|
who probably broke things Dave had working. :-)
|
|
|
|
Among the user-visible changes (choices) g77 makes in its
|
|
version of libf2c:
|
|
|
|
- f2c.h configured to default to padding unformatted direct reads
|
|
(#define Pad_UDread), because that's the behavior most users
|
|
expect.
|
|
|
|
- f2c.h configured to default to outputting leading zeros before
|
|
decimal points in formatted and list-directed output, to be compatible
|
|
with many other compilers (#define WANT_LEAD_0). Either way is
|
|
standard-conforming, however, and you should try to avoid writing
|
|
code that assumes one format or another.
|
|
|
|
- dtime_() and etime_() are from Dave Love's libU77, not from
|
|
netlib's libF77.
