Hi,
a few days ago I posted my answers to a question concerning f77/4D found
on this list. From some of the replys I've got the expression that some
people were trying to help me. Thanks a lot, but I had no problems with f77
up to their answers. Now I have, and here are my questions:
1.) Is the Power-Series F77 front end already availabel/released to the
customers ?
2.) When we compiled some of our f77-codes on a 2.1 revision of the MIPS
f77-compiler the -static switch DEFINITELY did not insert SAVE statements
for every program entry and (as I can recall what we have discovered in
the documentation) was never meant to do so. As far as I know it only
tells the compiler where to allocate memory for "local" variables. The
(2.0) manual (and I think the 3.0 too) tells you to insert SAVE statement
if you rely on saved local variables. Now some people told/mailed me that
-static does the SAVE. I'm a bit confused. Was it a problem in the 2.0
compiler/documentation, or are the answers misleading?
Still very happy with the 4D
(after having seen MOLCAD on the 4D/20 and the GTX)
