Current Fixes

This section describes issues that have been resolved in this version of HP Fortran v3.0:

Itanium-based platforms

The following current resolutions are for Itanium-based systems:

PHSS_33166 (11.23)

• A new directive, !DEC PACK:[|1|2|4], is added to F90 to support the similar feature in

DEC compiler.

• len(b//b) returned len(b) where it should have returned len(b)*2. This happened

when b was a character array (character*5, dimension(1) :: b).

• Changed getimpval and setimpval to use void * pointers, instead of speciﬁc type

pointers. This should inhibit memcpy inlining with the new cc or c++ compiler at +O3.

• Changed +Oprofile=collect:all to collect both arc and dcache.

• Does not relocate zero typelinks.

• Makes -ipo not to imply -g.

PHSS_32712

• Compiler doesnt give internal error when linker identiﬁer is suppressed by the compiler

because it’s private.

• Compiler Internal Error - use of 2-dimensional slice of record is overcome.

• No blank line is got when a real array to store a format string is reused.

• Compiler used to give internal when using initialization with => null().

• OMP PARALLEL IF produced scalar, not parallel code.

• Common block does not hide intrinsic function now.

• There used to be wrong answers from +O3 +check=all.

• Does not yield poor performance for 1-dimensional slice args.

• The generated code is no more less-efﬁcient than Fortran 77 generated code.

• Users are now given -b to specify all of the Fortran Runtime Libraries needed to the

linker to produce runtime dependancies on those libraries.
