Hi,
I am a brand-spanking new reader of this bboard and I just wanted to ask
a couple of questions. I program in Fortran on Sun4's and Sparc stations,
and my questions are these:
1- Is Fortran on these Suns different than 'conventional' Fortran? i.e.
what do I have to look out for?
2- Is there a debugger that works? I've tried gdp and dbx and neither
can read the source code that fortran produces. The same program
compile dwith the same flags can be read on a DEC machine, so I'm
figuring it's a problem in Sun Fortran.
3- Every now and then I get an error that says Warning: IEEE floating
Point Error. Inexact Underflow. But it doesn't tell me where it
happened! I guess an anwer to 2 would also answer this.
Thank you for your help. I'm surrounded by c-hackers so I get no support
around here at all!
