5.1.2 How to Invoke Global Program Checking

The -Xlist option on the command line invokes the compiler’s global program analyzer. There are a number of suboptions, as described in the sections that follow.

Example: Compile three files for basic global program checking:

demo% f95 -Xlist  any1.f  any2.f  any3.f

In the preceding example, the compiler:

• Produces output listings in the file any1.lst

• Compiles and links the program if there are no errors

5.1.2.1 Screen Output

Normally, output listings produced by -Xlistx are written to a file. To display directly to the screen, use -Xlisto to write the output file to /dev/tty.

Example: Display to terminal:

demo% f95 -Xlisto /dev/tty  any1.f

5.1.2.2 Default Output Features

The –Xlist option provides a combination of features available for output. With no other -Xlist options, you get the following by default:

• The listing file name is taken from the first input source or object file that appears, with the extension replaced by .lst

• A line-numbered source listing

• Error messages (embedded in listing) for inconsistencies across routines

• Cross-reference table of the identifiers

• Pagination at 66 lines per page and 79 columns per line

• No call graph

• No expansion of include files

5.1.2.3 File Types

The checking process recognizes all the files in the compiler command line that end in .f, .f90, .f95, .for, .F, .F95, or .o. The .o files supply the process with information regarding only global names, such as subroutine and function names.
