Bug ID: 65976
Summary: gfortran man-page lists the -fno-fixed-form flag but
does not define it, and it doesn't work
Product: gcc
Version: 5.1.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: trivial
Priority: P3
Component: fortran
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: CPonder at nVidia dot Com
Target Milestone: ---
When I run the command
man gfortran
with GCC 5.1.0, I get a list of options that includes -fno-fixed-form:
Fortran Language Options
-fall-intrinsics -fbackslash -fcray-pointer -fd-lines-as-code
-fd-lines-as-comments -fdefault-double-8
-fdefault-integer-8 -fdefault-real-8 -fdollar-ok
-ffixed-line-length-n -ffixed-line-length-none -ffree-form
-ffree-line-length-n -ffree-line-length-none -fimplicit-none
-finteger-4-integer-8 -fmax-identifier-length
-fmodule-private -fno-fixed-form -fno-range-check -fopenacc -fopenmp
-freal-4-real-10 -freal-4-real-16
-freal-4-real-8 -freal-8-real-10 -freal-8-real-16 -freal-8-real-4
-std=std
Unlike, say, -fno-range-check, the -fno-fixed-form is not defined anywhere in
the document.
Further, if I actually try to use it, I get the error-message
gfortran: error: unrecognized command line option ‘-fno-fixed-form’
I'd suggest completely removing this reference to -fno-fixed-form from the
man-page.
