Diagnostics

Some diagnostics produced by g77 require sufficient explanation that the explanations are given below, and the diagnostics themselves identify the appropriate explanation.

Identification uses the GNU Info format--specifically, the info command that displays the explanation is given within square brackets in the diagnostic. For example:

foo.f:5: Invalid statement [info -f g77 M FOOEY]

More details about the above diagnostic is found in the g77 Info documentation, menu item `M', submenu item `FOOEY', which is displayed by typing the UNIX command `info -f g77 M FOOEY'.

Other Info readers, such as EMACS, may be just as easily used to display the pertinent node. In the above example, `g77' is the Info document name, `M' is the top-level menu item to select, and, in that node (named `Diagnostics', the name of this chapter, which is the very text you're reading now), `FOOEY' is the menu item to select.

In this printed version of the g77 manual, the above example points to a section, below, entitled `FOOEY'---though, of course, as the above is just a sample, no such section exists.

• CMPAMBIG: Ambiguous use of intrinsic.
• EXPIMP: Intrinsic used explicitly and implicitly.
• INTGLOB: Intrinsic also used as name of global.
• LEX: Various lexer messages
• GLOBALS: Disagreements about globals.
• LINKFAIL: When linking `f771' fails.
