RE: FW: what happened to service routines like getarg, iargc, ... in gfortran

[<Winfrid dot Tschiedel at fujitsu-siemens dot com>]

Hello James,

Thanks for the information - I have now to report the problem to bugzilla ( redhat ),
because I used their build. 

Just an additional question - those routines are missing in the online documentation
( http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4.0.1/gfortran/ )
In the previous manual ( http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-3.4.4/g77/ ) these routines
where in chapter 8.11 described. 

Cheers,

Winfrid

There is a meta bug tracking g77 features missing in gfortran.  This is PR 19292
     http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=19292
This contains a list of missing service routines.

The getarg/iargc problem in particular is PR 15665.
     http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=15665
This PR was fixed last year, and the patches fixing it are in gcc-4.0.1.

It isn't clear why you are having a problem.  You could maybe check that the configure script is correctly linking with the libgfortran library.
