+
+@item -fno-range-check
+@opindex @code{frange-check}
+Disable range checking on results of simplification of constant
+expressions during compilation. For example, GNU Fortran will give
+an error at compile time when simplifying @code{a = 1. / 0}.
+With this option, no error will be given and @code{a} will be assigned
+the value @code{+Infinity}. If an expression evaluates to a value
+outside of the relevant range of [@code{-HUGE()}:@code{HUGE()}],
+then the expression will be replaced by @code{-Inf} or @code{+Inf}
+as appropriate.
Similarly, @code{DATA i/Z'FFFFFFFF'/} will result in an integer overflow

-of the GNU extensions recommended for use in new code. The @samp{legacy}
-value also includes obsolete extensions that may be required for old
-non-standard programs. Strict conformance to the Fortran 95 and Fortran 2003
-standards is specified by @samp{f95} and @samp{f2003}, respectively.
+@opindex @code{std=}@var{std} option
+Specify the standard to which the program is expected to conform, which
+may be one of @samp{f95}, @samp{f2003}, @samp{f2008}, @samp{gnu}, or
+@samp{legacy}. The default value for @var{std} is @samp{gnu}, which
+specifies a superset of the Fortran 95 standard that includes all of the
+extensions supported by GNU Fortran, although warnings will be given for
+obsolete extensions not recommended for use in new code. The
+@samp{legacy} value is equivalent but without the warnings for obsolete
+extensions, and may be useful for old non-standard programs. The
+@samp{f95}, @samp{f2003} and @samp{f2008} values specify strict
+conformance to the Fortran 95, Fortran 2003 and Fortran 2008 standards,
+respectively; errors are given for all extensions beyond the relevant
+language standard, and warnings are given for the Fortran 77 features
+that are permitted but obsolescent in later standards.

+as the current working directory in some debugging information formats.
+This option is implicitly enabled if debugging information is enabled,

+Do not discard comments. All comments are passed through to the output
+file, except for comments in processed directives, which are deleted
+along with the directive.
+
+You should be prepared for side effects when using @option{-C}; it causes
+the preprocessor to treat comments as tokens in their own right. For example,
+comments appearing at the start of what would be a directive line have the
+effect of turning that line into an ordinary source line, since the first
+token on the line is no longer a @code{'#'}.
+
+Warning: this currently handles C-Style comments only. The preprocessor
+does not yet recognize Fortran-style comments.
+
+@item -CC
+@opindex @code{CC}
+@cindex preprocessing, keep comments
+Do not discard comments, including during macro expansion. This is like
+@option{-C}, except that comments contained within macros are also passed
+through to the output file where the macro is expanded.
+
+In addition to the side-effects of the @option{-C} option, the @option{-CC}
+option causes all C++-style comments inside a macro to be converted to C-style
+comments. This is to prevent later use of that macro from inadvertently
+commenting out the remainder of the source line. The @option{-CC} option
+is generally used to support lint comments.
+
+Warning: this currently handles C- and C++-Style comments only. The
+preprocessor does not yet recognize Fortran-style comments.
+
+@item -D@var{name}

+Predefine name as a macro, with definition @code{1}.
+
+@item -D@var{name}=@var{definition}
+@opindex @code{D@var{name}=@var{definition}}
+@cindex preprocessing, define macros
+The contents of @var{definition} are tokenized and processed as if they
+appeared during translation phase three in a @code{'#define'} directive.
+In particular, the definition will be truncated by embedded newline
+characters.
+
+If you are invoking the preprocessor from a shell or shell-like program
+you may need to use the shell's quoting syntax to protect characters such
+as spaces that have a meaning in the shell syntax.
+
+If you wish to define a function-like macro on the command line, write
+its argument list with surrounding parentheses before the equals sign
+(if any). Parentheses are meaningful to most shells, so you will need
+to quote the option. With sh and csh, @code{-D'name(args...)=definition'}
+works.
+
+@option{-D} and @option{-U} options are processed in the order they are
+given on the command line. All -imacros file and -include file options
+are processed after all -D and -U options.
+
+@item -H
+@opindex @code{H}
+Print the name of each header file used, in addition to other normal

+@cindex preprocessing, no linemarkers
+Inhibit generation of linemarkers in the output from the preprocessor.
+This might be useful when running the preprocessor on something that
+is not C code, and will be sent to a program which might be confused
+by the linemarkers.
+

@item -fmax-stack-var-size=@var{n}
-@cindex @code{-fmax-stack-var-size} option
-@cindex option, @code{-fmax-stack-var-size}
+@opindex @code{fmax-stack-var-size}
This option specifies the size in bytes of the largest array that will be put
-on the stack.
+on the stack; if the size is exceeded static memory is used (except in
+procedures marked as RECURSIVE). Use the option @option{-frecursive} to
+allow for recursive procedures which do not have a RECURSIVE attribute or
+for parallel programs. Use @option{-fno-automatic} to never use the stack.
This option currently only affects local arrays declared with constant
bounds, and may not apply to all character variables.
The default value for @var{n} is 32768.
@item -fpack-derived
-@cindex @code{-fpack-derived} option
-@cindex option, @code{-fpack-derived}
-@cindex Structure packing
+@opindex @code{fpack-derived}
+@cindex structure packing
This option tells GNU Fortran to pack derived type members as closely as
possible. Code compiled with this option is likely to be incompatible
with code compiled without this option, and may execute slower.
@item -frepack-arrays
-@cindex @code{-frepack-arrays} option
-@cindex option, @code{-frepack-arrays}
-@cindex Repacking arrays
+@opindex @code{frepack-arrays}
+@cindex repacking arrays
In some circumstances GNU Fortran may pass assumed shape array
sections via a descriptor describing a noncontiguous area of memory.
This option adds code to the function prologue to repack the data into
is noncontiguous.
@item -fshort-enums
-@cindex @code{-fshort-enums} option
-@cindex option, @code{-fshort-enums}
+@opindex @code{fshort-enums}
This option is provided for interoperability with C code that was
compiled with the @option{-fshort-enums} option. It will make
GNU Fortran choose the smallest @code{INTEGER} kind a given
enumerator set will fit in, and give all its enumerators this kind.
@item -fexternal-blas
-@cindex @code{-fexternal-blas} option
-@cindex option, @code{-fexternal-blas}
-This option will make gfortran generate calls to BLAS functions for some
-matrix operations like @code{MATMUL}, instead of using our own
+@opindex @code{fexternal-blas}
+This option will make @command{gfortran} generate calls to BLAS functions
+for some matrix operations like @code{MATMUL}, instead of using our own
algorithms, if the size of the matrices involved is larger than a given
limit (see @option{-fblas-matmul-limit}). This may be profitable if an
optimized vendor BLAS library is available. The BLAS library will have
to be specified at link time.
@item -fblas-matmul-limit=@var{n}
-@cindex @code{-fblas-matmul-limit} option
-@cindex option, @code{-fblas-matmul-limit}
+@opindex @code{fblas-matmul-limit}
Only significant when @option{-fexternal-blas} is in effect.
Matrix multiplication of matrices with size larger than (or equal to) @var{n}
will be performed by calls to BLAS functions, while others will be
The default value for @var{n} is 30.
+@item -frecursive
+@opindex @code{frecursive}
+Allow indirect recursion by forcing all local arrays to be allocated
+on the stack. This flag cannot be used together with
+@option{-fmax-stack-var-size=} or @option{-fno-automatic}.
+
+@item -finit-local-zero
+@item -finit-integer=@var{n}
+@item -finit-real=@var{<zero|inf|-inf|nan|snan>}
+@item -finit-logical=@var{<true|false>}
+@item -finit-character=@var{n}
+@opindex @code{finit-local-zero}
+@opindex @code{finit-integer}
+@opindex @code{finit-real}
+@opindex @code{finit-logical}
+@opindex @code{finit-character}
+The @option{-finit-local-zero} option instructs the compiler to
+initialize local @code{INTEGER}, @code{REAL}, and @code{COMPLEX}
+variables to zero, @code{LOGICAL} variables to false, and
+@code{CHARACTER} variables to a string of null bytes. Finer-grained
+initialization options are provided by the
+@option{-finit-integer=@var{n}},
+@option{-finit-real=@var{<zero|inf|-inf|nan|snan>}} (which also initializes
+the real and imaginary parts of local @code{COMPLEX} variables),
+@option{-finit-logical=@var{<true|false>}}, and
+@option{-finit-character=@var{n}} (where @var{n} is an ASCII character
+value) options. These options do not initialize components of derived
+type variables, nor do they initialize variables that appear in an
+@code{EQUIVALENCE} statement. (This limitation may be removed in
+future releases).
+
+Note that the @option{-finit-real=nan} option initializes @code{REAL}
+and @code{COMPLEX} variables with a quiet NaN. For a signalling NaN
+use @option{-finit-real=snan}; note, however, that compile-time
+optimizations may convert them into quiet NaN and that trapping
+needs to be enabled (e.g. via @option{-ffpe-trap}).
+
+@item -falign-commons
+@opindex @code{falign-commons}
+@cindex alignment of COMMON blocks
+By default, @command{gfortran} enforces proper alignment of all variables in a
+COMMON block by padding them as needed. On certain platforms this is mandatory,
+on others it increases performance. If a COMMON block is not declared with
+consistent data types everywhere, this padding can cause trouble, and
+@option{-fno-align-commons } can be used to disable automatic alignment. The
+same form of this option should be used for all files that share a COMMON block.
+To avoid potential alignment issues in COMMON blocks, it is recommended to order
+objects from largests to smallest.
+
+@item -fno-protect-parens
+@opindex @code{fno-protect-parens}
+@cindex re-association of parenthesed expressions
+By default the parentheses in expression are honored for all optimization
+levels such that the compiler does not do any re-association. Using
+@option{-fno-protect-parens} allows the compiler to reorder REAL and
+COMPLEX expressions to produce faster code. Note that for the re-association
+optimization @option{-fno-signed-zeros} and @option{-fno-trapping-math}
+need to be in effect.
