NAME

rc − Ratfor compiler

SYNOPSIS

rc [ −c ] [ −r ] [ −f ] [ −v ] file ... 

DESCRIPTION

Rc invokes the Ratfor preprocessor on a set of Ratfor source files.  It accepts three types of arguments: Arguments whose names end with ‘.r’ are taken to be Ratfor source programs; they are preprocessed into Fortran and compiled. Each subroutine or function ‘name’ is placed on a separate file name.f, and its object code is left on name.o.  The main routine is on MAIN.f and MAIN.o; block data subprograms go on blockdata?.f and blockdata?.o.  The files resulting from a ‘.r’ file are loaded into a single object file file.o, and the intermediate object and Fortran files are removed.  The following flags are interpreted by rc.  See "ld (I)" for load-time flags. 

−cSuppresses the loading phase of the compilation, as does any error in anything. 

−fSave Fortran intermediate files.  This is primarily for debugging. 

−rRatfor only; don’t try to compile the Fortran.  This implies −f and −c. 

−vDon’t list intermediate file names while compiling. 

Arguments whose names end with ‘.f’ are taken to be Fortran source programs; they are compiled in the normal manner. (Only one Fortran routine is allowed in a ‘.f’ file.) Other arguments are taken to be either loader flag arguments, or Fortran-compatible object programs, typically produced by an earlier rc run, or perhaps libraries of Fortran-compatible routines.  These programs, together with the results of any compilations specified, are loaded to produce an executable program with name a.out.

DIAGNOSTICS

Yes, both from rc itself and from Fortran. 

BUGS

Limit of about 50 arguments, 10 block data files.  #define and #include lines in “.f” files are not processed.
