funny echo

[grg99]

Here's a weird one: I put all the options to ifort in an indirect file, it looks like this:

/reentrancy:threaded
/recursive
/Qprec
/heap-arrays:1
/tune:pn4
/architecture:pn4
/compile-only
/extend-source:132
/noaltparam
/optimize:0
/inline:none
/Qprec
/RTCu
/debug:all
/debug-parameters:all
/check:all
/warn:all
/Object:"BinEval.Obj"
/Debug:"DbgEval.pdb"
/Module:"ModEval.Mod"
/include:".Inc"
"E:CnvSrcEvalEval.f90"

... and I run it with: ifort indir.Cmd

And this is what comes out of the compiler:

What the heck? Pardon my French.

my typo, of course i ran it with:

... and I run it with: ifort @indir.Cmd

... looking at the output it looks like the option scanner is taking the first letter of the /O option, then every

other letter after that, one at a time. Weird.

And, no, I don't think I turned on some UniCode option.

[grg99]

never mind!

It seems you cant capitalize "/Object:xxxx" it thinks you mean /Osomething as in "optimize"

[Lorri_M_Intel]

Yes, you have it exactly correct.

Unlike CVF, with Intel Fortran the switch "/object" is case sensitive.

Moreover, /Oanything is interpreted as several optimize options concatenated together.

I'm glad you were able to figure this out, and sorry about the inconvenience --
