[Bug fortran/25953] New: Help on the solution for the large file unit numbers problem

[luiscasinhas at mail dot telepac dot pt]

Hello:

This my help request is related with the solution that the GNU site provides
for the large file unit numbers problem (please refer to
http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-3.4.1/g77/Large-File-Unit-Numbers.html#Large%20File%20Unit%20Numbers)

So this is my problem:
I recently updated my PC with the FC4 (2.6.14-1.1656_FC4) and i have gcc
gcc-4.0.2-8.fc4:

[casinhas@localhost ~]$ gcc -v
Using built-in specs.
Target: i386-redhat-linux
Configured with: ../configure --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man
--infodir=/usr/share/info --enable-shared --enable-threads=posix
--enable-checking=release --with-system-zlib --enable-__cxa_atexit
--disable-libunwind-exceptions --enable-libgcj-multifile
--enable-languages=c,c++,objc,java,f95,ada --enable-java-awt=gtk
--with-java-home=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.4.2-gcj-1.4.2.0/jre
--host=i386-redhat-linux
Thread model: posix
gcc version 4.0.2 20051125 (Red Hat 4.0.2-8)

and apparently the g77 fortran compiler that comes with this gcc package is:

[casinhas@localhost ~]$ g77 -v
Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/3.2.3/specs
Configured with: ../configure --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man
--infodir=/usr/share/info --enable-shared --enable-threads=posix
--disable-checking --with-system-zlib --enable-__cxa_atexit
--enable-languages=c,c++,f77 --disable-libgcj --host=i386-redhat-linux
Thread model: posix
gcc version 3.2.3 20030502 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.3-47.fc4)

The code that i need to compile sometimes opens more than 99 file units, wich
is the limit for the MXUNIT value of g77 compilers.

Reading the solution posted on
http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-3.4.1/g77/Large-File-Unit-Numbers.html#Large%20File%20Unit%20Numbers

I am not able to find the mentioned fio.h header file neither on the gcc
folders on my PC neither on the source code of the gcc-4.0.2-8.fc4 packace
(gcc-4.0.2-20051126.tar.bz2). Hence i would like to ask for your help on the
following questions:

1st-Is the g77 compiler (gcc version 3.2.3 20030502 (Red Hat Linux
3.2.3-47.fc4)) the current fortran compiler component of the current gcc
package (gcc version 4.0.2 20051125 (Red Hat 4.0.2-8))?

2nd- If not, is there a g77 version 4.0.2-8, just like the gfortran, also
provided by the gcc package? 

3rd- With this current gcc package where can i find the mentioned fio.h header
file? Or, even better, how should i proceed in order to have my current g77
compiler with the MXUNIT values higher then 99?

Best regards
Luis Casinhas

P.S. - I do appologise if this is not the correct way to post a bug. Actualy
this is more a help request then a bug report (wich was already made by some
one els)

First since you are getting your compilers from redhat, you should talk to them
first.
But second gfortran does not have this limit as far as I know.

Sure! I also posted this problem on the redhat bugzilla.

One thing though:

I donwloaded the gcc source package ( gcc-4.0.2-20051126.tar.bz2) from the GNU
site, not from redhat. As i stated on my post, i could not find the fio.h
header file that would allow me to fix this problem on the source package from
GNU (this is why i actualy posted the problem here and not on redhat.

Nevertheless, thanks for your help and atention.

Right as mentioned 4.0.0 and above does not have this limitation at all.  You
should try your program without recompiling GCC.

Not a bug. gfortran supports unit numbers upto 999.
