Fortran Preprocessor: #endif creates a blank line

Wentao_Z_ — Tue, 08 Apr 2014 05:06:25 GMT

Hi ,

I have a quick question regarding the #ifdef and #endif for preprocessing. I have the following code piece in my fpp file:

#ifdef USE_SIMD
              !DIR$ SIMD
#endif
              do i = is, ie
                dF(i + offset_kj) = dF(i + offset_kj) + value * F(i + offset_ii)
              end do

After preprocessing, I got the following code piece in the f90 file:

!DIR$ SIMD

              do i = is, ie
                dF(i + offset_kj) = dF(i + offset_kj) + value * F(i + offset_ii)
              end do

There is a blank line between the SIMD directive and the do i loop. I think it is generated by the #endif directive. Is there an easy way to avoid this? I want the SIMD directive to be next to the do i loop.

I would truly appreciate your help!

Best regards,

I have not found a way. fpp

I have not found a way. fpp seems to be operating consist with cpp in this regard also. I inquired with our Developers whether this is possible and will let you know what they say.

I haven't encountered adverse

I haven't encountered adverse effects from this. I make extensive use of fpp insertion of omp simd in view of the need to make it conditional on __MIC__.

Development indicates there

Development indicates there is no way to suppress this blank line with fpp. Sorry.

Have you tried:

Have you tried:

#endif do i = is, ie

Thanks for your reply. If the blank line does not influence how !DIR$ SIMD works, then that's fine.

Thanks for your reply. But this does not work since the preprocessing will "eat" the do i loop.

If you are inclined to use

If you are inclined to use FPP to create a source file that you keep, as opposed to an intermediary file to use as source, then you could easily write a script to remove blank lines following !DEC$ SIMD (and tidy up other things).
