|
|
|
|
<p>According the Fortran standard, valid Fortran names consist of a letter
|
|
between <code>A</code> to <code>Z</code>, <code>a</code> to <code>z</code>, digits <code>0</code>,
|
|
<code>1</code> to <code>9</code> and underscores (<code>_</code>) with the restriction
|
|
that names may only start with a letter. As vendor extension, the
|
|
dollar sign (<code>$</code>) is additionally permitted with the option
|
|
<samp>-fdollar-ok</samp>, but not as first character and only if the
|
|
target system supports it.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>By default, the procedure name is the lower-cased Fortran name with an
|
|
appended underscore (<code>_</code>); using <samp>-fno-underscoring</samp> no
|
|
underscore is appended while <code>-fsecond-underscore</code> appends two
|
|
underscores. Depending on the target system and the calling convention,
|
|
the procedure might be additionally dressed; for instance, on 32bit
|
|
Windows with <code>stdcall</code>, an at-sign <code>@</code> followed by an integer
|
|
number is appended. For the changing the calling convention, see
|
|
see <a href="GNU-Fortran-Compiler-Directives.html#GNU-Fortran-Compiler-Directives">GNU Fortran Compiler Directives</a>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>For common blocks, the same convention is used, i.e. by default an
|
|
underscore is appended to the lower-cased Fortran name. Blank commons
|
|
have the name <code>__BLNK__</code>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>For procedures and variables declared in the specification space of a
|
|
module, the name is formed by <code>__</code>, followed by the lower-cased
|
|
module name, <code>_MOD_</code>, and the lower-cased Fortran name. Note that
|
|
no underscore is appended.
