Very minor issue: option /ext reported by ifort -help

[Arjen_Markus]

Hello,

I ran into a very minor problem with the online help as printed by "ifort -help" (now that I know the correct answer). I used version 11.0 (11.0.072 to be more precise) from the command-line and I wanted to find out the proper option to set the name of the resulting exeuctable. According to "ifort -help" I can do that via "/ext:filename", for instance:

ifort /ext:run.exe mycode.f90

But the compiler complains that /ext is ambiguous (indeed: /extfor and extfpp for instance). The online help, however, reports that as /exe: That particular option does work.

Like I said, a minor problem.

Regards,

Arjen

Thanks - I see the same error in 11.1. /exe is correct. I will ask our intrepid -help maintainer to fix it.

You're welcome. Just out of curiosity: I did notice the command-line options for the Linux version are different. Are they modelled after the platform's conventions? (Aside from / and -)

Regards,

Yes, we try to follow gcc on Linux where it makes sense. There's some g77-isms in there too.
