Fortran 90 properties already in CF77.

For the present CF77 version 6.0 the following is already included:

Basic properties:

• The special characters ", ! and _ are included.
• The special character @ is also included but it is used by the system for special purposes.
• The accepted line length can be switched from 72 to 80 characters.
• Comments can start with a ! anywhere on the line except in position 6.
• A statement can have up to 99 continuation lines.
• A variable name (identifier) can have up to 31 characters, including the special character _.
• Character strings can be delimited with either ' or ".
• Octal and hexadecimal constants are available, and also bit operations according to Appendix 3, item 14.
• A repetition factor for new lines has been added, that is for / in FORMAT.
• Only the old form (fix form) of the source code is available.

Control statements:

• DO, DO WHILE, END DO and WHERE, are available, but not EXIT and CYCLE.

Specifications:

• IMPLICIT NONE and INCLUDE are available.
• The NAMELIST functionality is available, but it can have another form, in addition to the one from Fortran 90.
• The new type of specifications with :: is not available.

File operations.

• All the new specifications to OPEN and INQUIRE are available.

Intrinsic functions:

• The bit manipulation functions (Appendix 5, item 10) and the bit copy subroutine MVBITS are available, together with the following array functions: MERGE, PACK, SPREAD, UNPACK, RESHAPE, SUM, PRODUCT, MAXVAL, MINVAL, COUNT, ANY, ALL, TRANSPOSE, EOSHIFT, CSHIFT, MAXLOC, MINLOC, MATMUL and DOT_PRODUCT.
• In addition the three bit manipulation functions from HPF are available.

Arrays:

• Adjustable arrays, assumed-size arrays, automatic arrays, array sections and array assignments are available.
• The command ALLOCATABLE is not available.

Additional concepts:

• Recursion is available with certain special considerations, no RESULT clause is required.
• Pointers are available but they are defined in a different way, compared with Fortran 90.

You have to be careful with both recursion and pointers on the Cray. Pointers in Fortran 90 and Cray Fortran are discussed in the article "Fortran 90 Pointers vs. "Cray" Pointers" by Jeanne Martin in the Fortran Forum, Vol. 11, No. 2, pp. 17 - 23, June 1992.

Removed extensions:

• Of compatibility reasons the abbreviation DOUBLE for DOUBLE PRECISION and the specification DOUBLE COMPLEX were removed. Some system commands have also been changed.

System parameters on the Cray using CF90.

Remark. Our tests indicate that half is not implemented completely on the Cray Y-MP, in reality you get variables of the usual precision (called single below). Information from Cray Research indicate that half is introduced in order to obtain a certain compatibility with Cray T3D, on which system that precision (half) really exists.

WARNING: I will have to double check this table at each revision of the compiler! The parameters are being changed by Cray. The present system is Cray F90 Version 1.0 (1.56 or 1.70), CRAY CF 90 Version 1.0.1.0 (779005) or 1.0.2.0 (047431). The parameters below are also valid for Cray CF90 Version 2.0.0.0.
