CHECK DATA IN STRUCTURES

Syntax:

[DO NOT] CHECK DATA IN STRUCTURES

Function:

fpt checks for STRUCTURE declarations which contain embedded data.

Fields of structures may be initialised by data by writing a '/' delimited data expression after the field declaration. All records of the structure are then initialised.

Embedded data in structures may cause multiple data initialisation of COMMON blocks. fpt therefore reports all records of structures with embedded data which reside in COMMON blocks. It then reports the number of structures with embedded data, the number used for records in COMMON, and the number of records in COMMON which cause multiple data initialisation of the COMMON blocks.

Where to Use this Command

Operating system command line	Yes
Configuration file, config.fsp	Yes
Specification (fsp) files, *.fsp	Yes
Interactively, to FPT> prompt	Yes
Interactive command files	Yes
Embedded in the Fortran code	Yes

Default

The check is not carried out by default (Note that defaults may be changed in the configuration file).

Examples

The user makes the interactive command:

FPT> check data in struct

fpt reports:
