In an attempt to speed up the Fortran 77
compiler, we have provided a new interface between
the fortran compiler and the portable C compiler.
The intermediate file is binary, and the result is
to speed up the execution of Fortran considerably.
The changes necessary to make this work are as follows:
*** The ONEPASS flag should be off for Fortran;
the simplest way of making this happen is to take
the line # define ONEPASS on macdefs, and put a
# ifndef FORT ... # endif around it.
*** The function label from pass 1 must be put in
a file, fort.h. Also, a simple function, tlabel,
must be written to copy names and make labels.
*** The function `where' must be defined, as well as the
function main (which was once on local2.c).
They can be defined on fort.h, or on local2.c
(surrounded by # ifnded ONEPASS and # endif)
*** Other things from pass one may have crept into the pass 2
code: they must be also done, either on fort.h or
on local2.c surrounded by ifdefs.
*** make fort then creates the fortran interface...
