New PBO Instrumentation Flags (cin/sin)
New PBO instrumentation flags (cin/sin ) have been added to this version of HP Fortran.
New Flag +nolibs
A new flag, +nolibs, is an addition in this version. This flag prevents libraries not explicitly
on command line, to be linked into executable or shared library. The -b option has been
changed to pass all necessary RTLs to linker.
New Flag +parmsoptional
This flag, +parmsoptional, is a new feature in this version. Optional declarations has been
passed to back end.
Flag, +fltconst_[no]warning
The +fltconst_[no]warning flag warns users about possible inaccurate floating point
conversions. The default is +fltconst_warning.
To supress these warning messages, specify the +fltconst_strict flag.
