Downloads

To update, download the archive below and save it to the update sub-directory of the LF95 v6.0 installation, typically /usr/local/lf9560/update. Restore files from this archive using the tar command, and execute lf9560*_pro_patch. Note, the update needs to be executed from a root login, and the patch command must be available on the system. See the README in the archive for more information.

The maintenance version is the alpha character after the version number. It is displayed by specifying the --version compiler option. The update program will update your product from any previous maintenance version.

Lahey/Fujitsu Fortran 95 Linux Express v6.0 Release Notes

The following descriptions are cumulative.

Version 6.00c

See LF95 v6.0 Bug Fix Descriptions.

glibc
LF95 libraries have been updated so that the compiler is compatible with Red Hat v7.1 and SuSE v7.1.  With maintenance release version c, LF95 v6.0 is no longer compatible with glibc v2.0.x.

Version 6.00b

See LF95 v6.0 Bug Fix Descriptions.

Exit Status
The LF95 driver has been modified so that an exit status of 1 is returned when compile or link errors are generated.  In version a an exit status of 0 was returned if the compiler executed correctly.

Version 6.00a

See LF95 v6.0 Bug Fix Descriptions.

-g
The functionality of -g has changed.  When compiling with -g, constants declared in a module can not be examined in FDB if the module is USEd, and the constant has not been referenced in the program unit that USEs the module.  These constants can be examined in FDB if the compile option '-lfe "-gconstinfo"' is specified in the lf95 command instead of -g.  Note that using '-lfe
"-gconstinfo"' can greatly increase compile times.

--pca option with --chk [a] option
When --pca is specified, constant arguments are protected, so specifying --chk [a] will no longer cause an abort with a runtime error message when assignment to a dummy argument associated with a constant is detected.

SYSTEM
The procedure SYSTEM is a Service Function with v6.0.  The procedure SYSTEM was an intrinsic function with v5.5.

INTENT(OUT) dummy argument
INTENT(OUT) dummy arguments are forced to be undefined in v6.0, as defined in the Fortran standard.

Modules
Modules created with v6.0 cannot be USEd by programs compiled with previous versions. You must recompile these programs to USE the new modules. However, modules compiled with v5.5 can be USEd by v6.0 programs.
