Module Content Related to Static Libraries

[garyscott]

Hi, Was curious as to what is actually contained (generally speaking) in a CVF 6.6C static library built from the following code:

module v9
real :: radar(29) = 32
end module

module version
character(80) :: filename
integer :: ios

contains

integer function trymod

use v9

trymod = radar(1)

end function

end module

I see references to the module content, but it seems almost useless without the separate .mod files (actually it seems entirely unnecessary).

The .lib contains the code for the module procedure and the storage for the module variables. The .mod provides symbol table information about the declarations.

Ah, since I've always packaged modules in the same file as the main program,I guess I was confused on where the "object" module was stored. I assumed that the .mod file was "complete" (and redundant with the library, but of proprietary format because of the additional content). So in some cases I need both the library and the .mod file but in some cases I only need the .mod file or I always require both (and the object code is simply inherently includedin the single file approach that I typically use)?

Boy that's a pretty fundamental confusion isn't it??

Now you've confused me!

You can simplify things by assuming that you always need the .obj/.lib and the .mod. Sometimes the object code is not needed, but it never hurts...
