BUILD NAMELIST TO CHECK/IGNORE DEFAULT SIZES

Syntax:

BUILD NAMELIST TO CHECK DEFAULT SIZES
BUILD NAMELIST TO IGNORE DEFAULT SIZES

Function:

The command BUILD NAMELIST FOR COMMON BLOCKS instructs fpt to generate a NAMELIST which contains all of the variables in COMMON blocks in the entire program. The NAMELIST may then be used to initialise the program or to control it at run-time.

By default, fpt recognises that variables with explicit data size declarations, and variables where the data size is inferred from the system defaults are potentially different, even when the sizes and all other attributes are actually the same. This arises, for example, where a variable is declared REAL*4 THETA in one sub-program and REAL THETA in another. Separate NAMELIST entries are therefore generated for such variables. NAMELIST generation may be instructed to recognise the difference or to ignore the defaulting of data sizes by the commands BUILD NAMELIST TO CHECK DEFAULT SIZES and BUILD NAMELIST TO IGNORE DEFAULT SIZES.
