1 Fortran 3.5 Release Notes
The information in this document applies to the release of HP Fortran compiler Version 3.5, supported
on HP-UX 11i v3 operating system.
HP Fortran Overview
HP Fortran for HP-UX is a powerful mathematical and scientific language that supports
array-handling, data-abstraction, and data hiding.
HP Fortran v3.5 is supported on HP-UX 11i v3 operating system on Integrity systems and HP 9000
systems. HP Fortran v3.5 supports both 32-bit and 64-bit address.
What's New in This Version
This section discusses the new features introduced in this version of the HP Fortran compiler.
Product Changes in HP Fortran 3.5
HP Fortran version 3.5 supports the following changes:
• C-Dev-Tools packaged with HP Fortran compiler bundle B3909DB
• Compiler version string format modified
• Defect fixes
C-Dev-Tools packaged with HP Fortran compiler bundle B3909DB
From this release (September 2011) onwards, HP Fortran compiler bundle B3909DB includes the
C-Dev-Tools product. The version string for the Fotran compiler bundle that contains this product is
'HP F90 v3.5'. C-Dev-Tools includes the preprocessor(cpp), lex, and yacc. This product is introduced
so that the Fortran compiler uses the HP C preprocessor, /opt/langtools/lbin/cpp, from
C-Dev-Tools, which is updated periodically, instead of the HP C (Bundled) preprocessor, /usr/
ccs/lbin/cpp. The Fortran compiler is modified to select the preprocessor from /opt/
langtools/lbin/cpp. This change has no customer-visible impact, and does not change the
way preprocessing is done.
Compiler version string format modified
HP F90 version string format is modified to indicate that it is supported on 11.31 only.
