-
-@heading In @code{egcs 1.2}:
-@itemize @bullet
-@item
-Source file names with the suffixes @samp{.FOR} and @samp{.FPP}
-now are recognized by @code{g77}
-as if they ended in @samp{.for} and @samp{.fpp}, respectively.
-@end itemize
-
-@heading In @code{egcs} 1.1 (versus 0.5.24):
-@itemize @bullet
-@cindex alignment
-@cindex double-precision performance
-@cindex -malign-double
-@item
-Align static double-precision variables and arrays
-on Intel x86 targets
-regardless of whether @samp{-malign-double} is specified.
-
-Generally, this affects only local variables and arrays
-having the @code{SAVE} attribute
-or given initial values via @code{DATA}.
-@end itemize
-
-@heading In @code{egcs} 1.1 (versus @code{egcs} 1.0.3):
-@itemize @bullet
-@item
-Support @samp{FORMAT(I<@var{expr}>)} when @var{expr} is a
-compile-time constant @code{INTEGER} expression.
-
-@item
-Fix @code{g77} @samp{-g} option so procedures that
-use @samp{ENTRY} can be stepped through, line by line,
-in @code{gdb}.
-
-@item
-Allow any @code{REAL} argument to intrinsics
-@code{Second} and @code{CPU_Time}.
-
-@item
-Use @code{tempnam}, if available, to open scratch files
-(as in @samp{OPEN(STATUS='SCRATCH')})
-so that the @code{TMPDIR} environment variable,
-if present, is used.
-
-@item
-@code{g77}'s version of @code{libf2c} separates out
-the setting of global state
-(such as command-line arguments and signal handling)
-from @file{main.o} into distinct, new library
-archive members.
-
-This should make it easier to write portable applications
-that have their own (non-Fortran) @code{main()} routine
-properly set up the @code{libf2c} environment, even
-when @code{libf2c} (now @code{libg2c}) is a shared library.
-
-@item
-The @code{g77} command now expects the run-time library
-to be named @code{libg2c.a} instead of @code{libf2c.a},
-to ensure that a version other than the one built and
-installed as part of the same @code{g77} version is picked up.
-
-@item
-Some diagnostics have been changed from warnings to errors,
-to prevent inadvertent use of the resulting, probably buggy,
-programs.
-These mostly include diagnostics about use of unsupported features
-in the @code{OPEN}, @code{INQUIRE}, @code{READ}, and
-@code{WRITE} statements,
-and about truncations of various sorts of constants.
-@end itemize
-
-@heading In 0.5.24 and @code{egcs} 1.1 (versus 0.5.23):
-@itemize @bullet
-@item
-@code{g77} now treats @samp{%LOC(@var{expr})} and
-@samp{LOC(@var{expr})} as ``ordinary'' expressions
-when they are used as arguments in procedure calls.
-This change applies only to global (filewide) analysis,
-making it consistent with
-how @code{g77} actually generates code
-for these cases.
-
-Previously, @code{g77} treated these expressions
-as denoting special ``pointer'' arguments
-for the purposes of filewide analysis.
-
-@item
-The @code{g77} driver now ensures that @samp{-lg2c}
-is specified in the link phase prior to any
-occurrence of @samp{-lm}.
-This prevents accidentally linking to a routine
-in the SunOS4 @samp{-lm} library
-when the generated code wants to link to the one
-in @code{libf2c} (@code{libg2c}).
-
-@item
-@code{g77} emits more debugging information when
-@samp{-g} is used.
-
-This new information allows, for example,
-@kbd{which __g77_length_a} to be used in @code{gdb}
-to determine the type of the phantom length argument
-supplied with @samp{CHARACTER} variables.
-
-This information pertains to internally-generated
-type, variable, and other information,
-not to the longstanding deficiencies vis-a-vis
-@samp{COMMON} and @samp{EQUIVALENCE}.
-
-@item
-The F90 @samp{Date_and_Time} intrinsic now is
-supported.
-
-@item
-The F90 @samp{System_Clock} intrinsic allows
-the optional arguments (except for the @samp{Count}
-argument) to be omitted.
-@end itemize
-
-@heading In 0.5.23:
-@itemize @bullet
-@item
-This release contains several regressions against
-version 0.5.22 of @code{g77}, due to using the
-``vanilla'' @code{gcc} back end instead of patching
-it to fix a few bugs and improve performance in a
-few cases.
-
-@xref{Actual Bugs,,Actual Bugs We Haven't Fixed Yet},
-available in plain-text format in @code{gcc/f/BUGS},
-for information on the known bugs in this version,
-including the regressions.
-
-Features that have been dropped from this version
-of @code{g77} due to their being implemented
-via @code{g77}-specific patches to the @code{gcc}
-back end in previous releases include:
-
-@itemize --
-@item
-Support for @code{__restrict__} keyword,
-the options @samp{-fargument-alias}, @samp{-fargument-noalias},
-and @samp{-fargument-noalias-global},
-and the corresponding alias-analysis code.
-
-(@code{egcs} has the alias-analysis
-code, but not the @code{__restrict__} keyword.
-@code{egcs} @code{g77} users benefit from the alias-analysis
-code despite the lack of the @code{__restrict__} keyword,
-which is a C-language construct.)
-
-@item
-Support for the GNU compiler options
-@samp{-fmove-all-movables},
-@samp{-freduce-all-givs},
-and @samp{-frerun-loop-opt}.
-
-(@code{egcs} supports these options.
-@code{g77} users of @code{egcs} benefit from them even if
-they are not explicitly specified,
-because the defaults are optimized for @code{g77} users.)
-
-@item
-Support for the @samp{-W} option warning about
-integer division by zero.
-
-@item
-The Intel x86-specific option @samp{-malign-double}
-applying to stack-allocated data
-as well as statically-allocate data.
-@end itemize
-
-@item
-Support @code{gcc} version 2.8,
-and remove support for prior versions of @code{gcc}.
-
-@cindex -@w{}-driver option
-@cindex @code{g77} options, -@w{}-driver
-@cindex options, -@w{}-driver
-@item
-Remove support for the @samp{--driver} option,
-as @code{g77} now does all the driving,
-just like @code{gcc}.
-
-@item
-The @code{g77} command now expects the run-time library
-to be named @code{libg2c.a} instead of @code{libf2c.a},
-to ensure that a version other than the one built and
-installed as part of the same @code{g77} version is picked up.

-@itemize @bullet
-@item
-Version 1.0 of @code{egcs}
-contains several regressions against
-version 0.5.21 of @code{g77},
-due to using the
-``vanilla'' @code{gcc} back end instead of patching
-it to fix a few bugs and improve performance in a
-few cases.
-
-@xref{Actual Bugs,,Actual Bugs We Haven't Fixed Yet},
-available in plain-text format in @code{gcc/f/BUGS},
-for information on the known bugs in this version,
-including the regressions.
-
-Features that have been dropped from this version
-of @code{g77} due to their being implemented
-via @code{g77}-specific patches to the @code{gcc}
-back end in previous releases include:
-
-@itemize --
-@item
-Support for the C-language @code{restrict} keyword.
-
-@item
-Support for the @samp{-W} option warning about
-integer division by zero.

-@end itemize
-
-@heading In 0.5.21:
-@itemize @bullet
-@item
-When the @samp{-W} option is specified, @code{gcc}, @code{g77},
-and other GNU compilers that incorporate the @code{gcc}
-back end as modified by @code{g77}, issue
-a warning about integer division by constant zero.
-
-@item
-New option @samp{-Wno-globals} disables warnings
-about ``suspicious'' use of a name both as a global
-name and as the implicit name of an intrinsic, and
-warnings about disagreements over the number or natures of
-arguments passed to global procedures, or the
-natures of the procedures themselves.
-
-The default is to issue such warnings, which are
-new as of this version of @code{g77}.
-
-@item
-New option @samp{-fno-globals} disables diagnostics
-about potentially fatal disagreements
-analysis problems, such as disagreements over the
-number or natures of arguments passed to global
-procedures, or the natures of those procedures themselves.
-
-The default is to issue such diagnostics and flag
-the compilation as unsuccessful.
-With this option, the diagnostics are issued as
-warnings, or, if @samp{-Wno-globals} is specified,
-are not issued at all.
-
-This option also disables inlining of global procedures,
-to avoid compiler crashes resulting from coding errors
-that these diagnostics normally would identify.
-
-@item
-Fix @code{libU77} routines that accept file and other names
-to strip trailing blanks from them, for consistency
-with other implementations.
-Blanks may be forcibly appended to such names by
-appending a single null character (@samp{CHAR(0)})
-to the significant trailing blanks.
-
-@item
-Fix @code{CHMOD} intrinsic to work with file names
-that have embedded blanks, commas, and so on.
-
-@item
-Fix @code{SIGNAL} intrinsic so it accepts an
-optional third @samp{Status} argument.
-
-@item
-Make many changes to @code{libU77} intrinsics to
-support existing code more directly.
-
-Such changes include allowing both subroutine and
-function forms of many routines, changing @code{MCLOCK()}
-and @code{TIME()} to return @code{INTEGER(KIND=1)} values,
-introducing @code{MCLOCK8()} and @code{TIME8()} to
-return @code{INTEGER(KIND=2)} values,
-and placing functions that are intended to perform
-side effects in a new intrinsic group, @code{badu77}.
-
-@item
-Add options @samp{-fbadu77-intrinsics-delete},
-@samp{-fbadu77-intrinsics-hide}, and so on.
-
-@item
-Add @code{INT2} and @code{INT8} intrinsics.
-
-@item
-Add @code{CPU_TIME} intrinsic.
-
-@item
-Add @code{ALARM} intrinsic.
-
-@item
-@code{CTIME} intrinsic now accepts any @code{INTEGER}
-argument, not just @code{INTEGER(KIND=2)}.
-
-@item
-@code{g77} driver now prints version information (such as produced
-by @kbd{g77 -v}) to @code{stderr} instead of @code{stdout}.
-
-@item
-The @samp{.r} suffix now designates a Ratfor source file,
-to be preprocessed via the @code{ratfor} command, available
-separately.
-@end itemize
-
-@heading In 0.5.20:
-@itemize @bullet
-@item
-The @samp{-fno-typeless-boz} option is now the default.
-
-This option specifies that non-decimal-radix
-constants using the prefixed-radix form (such as @samp{Z'1234'})
-are to be interpreted as @code{INTEGER(KIND=1)} constants.
-Specify @samp{-ftypeless-boz} to cause such
-constants to be interpreted as typeless.
-
-(Version 0.5.19 introduced @samp{-fno-typeless-boz} and
-its inverse.)
-
-@xref{Fortran Dialect Options,,Options Controlling Fortran Dialect},
-for information on the @samp{-ftypeless-boz} option.
-
-@item
-Options @samp{-ff90-intrinsics-enable} and
-@samp{-fvxt-intrinsics-enable} now are the
-defaults.
-
-Some programs might use names that clash with
-intrinsic names defined (and now enabled) by these
-options or by the new @code{libU77} intrinsics.
-Users of such programs might need to compile them
-differently (using, for example, @samp{-ff90-intrinsics-disable})
-or, better yet, insert appropriate @code{EXTERNAL}
-statements specifying that these names are not intended
-to be names of intrinsics.
-
-@item
-The @samp{ALWAYS_FLUSH} macro is no longer defined when
-building @code{libf2c}, which should result in improved
-I/O performance, especially over NFS.
-
-@emph{Note:} If you have code that depends on the behavior
-of @code{libf2c} when built with @samp{ALWAYS_FLUSH} defined,
-you will have to modify @code{libf2c} accordingly before
-building it from this and future versions of @code{g77}.
-
-@xref{Output Assumed To Flush}, for more information.
-
-@item
-Dave Love's implementation of @code{libU77} has been
-added to the version of @code{libf2c} distributed with
-and built as part of @code{g77}.
-@code{g77} now knows about the routines in this library
-as intrinsics.
-
-@item
-New option @samp{-fvxt} specifies that the
-source file is written in VXT Fortran, instead of GNU Fortran.
-
-@xref{VXT Fortran}, for more information on the constructs
-recognized when the @samp{-fvxt} option is specified.
-
-@item
-The @samp{-fvxt-not-f90} option has been deleted,
-along with its inverse, @samp{-ff90-not-vxt}.
-
-If you used one of these deleted options, you should
-re-read the pertinent documentation to determine which
-options, if any, are appropriate for compiling your
-code with this version of @code{g77}.
-
-@xref{Other Dialects}, for more information.
-
-@item
-The @samp{-fugly} option now issues a warning, as it
-likely will be removed in a future version.
-
-(Enabling all the @samp{-fugly-*} options is unlikely
-to be feasible, or sensible, in the future,
-so users should learn to specify only those
-@samp{-fugly-*} options they really need for a
-particular source file.)
-
-@item
-The @samp{-fugly-assumed} option, introduced in
-version 0.5.19, has been changed to
-better accommodate old and new code.
-@xref{Ugly Assumed-Size Arrays}, for more information.
-
-@item
-Related to supporting Alpha (AXP) machines, the @code{LOC()}
-intrinsic and @code{%LOC()} construct now return
-values of @code{INTEGER(KIND=0)} type,
-as defined by the GNU Fortran language.
-
-This type is wide enough
-(holds the same number of bits)
-as the character-pointer type on the machine.
-
-On most machines, this won't make a difference,
-whereas, on Alphas and other systems with 64-bit pointers,
-the @code{INTEGER(KIND=0)} type is equivalent to @code{INTEGER(KIND=2)}
-(often referred to as @code{INTEGER*8})
-instead of the more common @code{INTEGER(KIND=1)}
-(often referred to as @code{INTEGER*4}).
-
-@item
-Emulate @code{COMPLEX} arithmetic in the @code{g77} front
-end, to avoid bugs in @code{complex} support in the
-@code{gcc} back end.
-New option @samp{-fno-emulate-complex}
-causes @code{g77} to revert the 0.5.19 behavior.
-
-@item
-Dummy arguments are no longer assumed to potentially alias
-(overlap)
-other dummy arguments or @code{COMMON} areas when any of
-these are defined (assigned to) by Fortran code.
-
-This can result in faster and/or smaller programs when
-compiling with optimization enabled, though on some
-systems this effect is observed only when @samp{-fforce-addr}
-also is specified.
-
-New options @samp{-falias-check}, @samp{-fargument-alias},
-@samp{-fargument-noalias},
-and @samp{-fno-argument-noalias-global} control the
-way @code{g77} handles potential aliasing.
-
-@xref{Aliasing Assumed To Work}, for detailed information on why the
-new defaults might result in some programs no longer working the way they
-did when compiled by previous versions of @code{g77}.
-
-@item
-New option @samp{-fugly-assign} specifies that the
-same memory locations are to be used to hold the
-values assigned by both statements @samp{I = 3} and
-@samp{ASSIGN 10 TO I}, for example.
-(Normally, @code{g77} uses a separate memory location
-to hold assigned statement labels.)
-
-@xref{Ugly Assigned Labels}, for more information.
-
-@item
-@code{FORMAT} and @code{ENTRY} statements now are allowed to
-precede @code{IMPLICIT NONE} statements.
-
-@item
-Enable full support of @code{INTEGER(KIND=2)}
-(often referred to as @code{INTEGER*8})
-available in
-@code{libf2c} and @file{f2c.h} so that @code{f2c} users
-may make full use of its features via the @code{g77}
-version of @file{f2c.h} and the @code{INTEGER(KIND=2)}
-support routines in the @code{g77} version of @code{libf2c}.
-
-@item
-Improve @code{g77} driver and @code{libf2c} so that @samp{g77 -v}
-yields version information on the library.
-
-@item
-The @code{SNGL} and @code{FLOAT} intrinsics now are
-specific intrinsics, instead of synonyms for the
-generic intrinsic @code{REAL}.
-
-@item
-New intrinsics have been added.
-These are @code{REALPART}, @code{IMAGPART},
-@code{COMPLEX},
-@code{LONG}, and @code{SHORT}.
-
-@item
-A new group of intrinsics, @samp{gnu}, has been added
-to contain the new @code{REALPART}, @code{IMAGPART},
-and @code{COMPLEX} intrinsics.
-An old group, @samp{dcp}, has been removed.
-
-@item
-Complain about industry-wide ambiguous references
-@samp{REAL(@var{expr})} and @samp{AIMAG(@var{expr})},
-where @var{expr} is @code{DOUBLE COMPLEX} (or any
-complex type other than @code{COMPLEX}), unless
-@samp{-ff90} option specifies Fortran 90 interpretation
-or new @samp{-fugly-complex} option, in conjunction with

-New @samp{-fno-silent} option causes names of program units
-to be printed as they are compiled, in a fashion similar to

-to perform some of what @samp{-fugly} used to do.
-@samp{-fugly} and @samp{-fno-ugly} are now ``shorthand'' options,
-in that they do nothing more than enable (or disable) other
-@samp{-fugly-*} options.
-
-@item
-Change code generation for list-directed I/O so it allows
-for new versions of @code{libf2c} that might return non-zero
-status codes for some operations previously assumed to always
-return zero.
-
-This change not only affects how @code{IOSTAT=} variables

-Support automatic arrays in procedures.
-For example, @samp{REAL A(N)}, where @samp{A} is
-not a dummy argument, specifies that @samp{A} is
