Develop software based on the Fortran programming language in the integrated environment featuring a multitude of tools for source level debugging, product documentation management, 32- and 64-bit compiling, syntax highlighting, etc. Integration with Visual Studio is possible.
Silverfrost FTN95 provides an IDE to test and learn Fortran code.
Main features:
- Full implimentation of Fortran 95 for Windows
- Silverfrost CHECKMATE technology
- Plato an Integrated Development Environment (IDE)
- Integration with Visual Studio
- Full source level debugging
- Full Documentation
- 32- and 64-bit compiler
v6.3 [Jun 30, 2012]
New Features:
-*.cs files can now be included in a DBK_LINK2/4 command line in order to transmit assembly attributes to the exe/dll.
-/CHECK argument checking now extended to module subprograms.
-/LINK with /DEBUG now activates /3GB in SLINK.
-ASSEMBLEY_INTERFACE now allows ARRAY="REF" (default ARRAY="NET") to allow star-sized arrays to be passed only as a reference to the first element of each array in the argument list.
-Clearwin : Two new functions have been added to the library as an alternative or addition to %gr[user_surface]. These are CREATE_USER_SURFACE@ and SELECT_USER_SURFACE@. The associated %gr is identified by its Windows handle (see %lc) and the programmer must store the associated device context and DIB pointer.
-CALL CREATE_USER_SURFACE@(width, height, hdc, ptr) !(inputs width and height and returns hdc and ptr - all INTEGERs)
ia = SELECT_USER_SURFACE@(hwnd, hdc, ptr) !(inputs all arguments and returns non-zero value on success)
-Clearwin : New standard callback HELP_LOOKUP added. This takes two character strings. The first is the full path of a .CHM help file. The second is the keyword that identifies the topic that is to be displayed. This keyword must be included in the .HHK file that forms part of a Microsoft project to compile the .CHM file. Note: HELP_CONTENTS can already be used with .CHM files.
Outline summary of bugs that have been fixed:
-TYPE definition failed to propagate in a particular subprogram that was internal to the main program.
-RECOVER_DIB_BLOCK@ had 2048 horizontal pixel limit.
-A particular ALLOCATE statement reported and incorrect array rank.
-PAD was not working in the RESHAPE intrinsic except for integers.
-VAX initialisation statements failed when the list contained an array that was not the first item in the list.
-Assignment via a pointer failed when pointing to an element of an array of user-defined type which, in turn, had array members.
-Assignment to NULL using =>NULL() rather than NULLIFY was failing under .NET.
-MAXLOC and MINLOC intrinsics could not be called directly in order to set an array index.
-For arrays of rank one, MAXLOC and MINLOC now only return a scalar when DIM=1 is an explicit argument.
-SET_SUFFIX@ and SET_SUFFIX1@ were only working correctly for extensions of length three.
-Logical test for element by element character equality was failing for scalar against array constructor.
-Clearwin Improvement: %`rs can produce unwelcome additional height with XP theme.
-Existing option [no_additional_depth] used to restore old (non-XP) height.
-Clearwin : Documentation has been added for existing functions import_gif@ and export_gif@. These are similar to import_bmp@ and export_bmp@. Interfaces are now included in standard header files.
-Clearwin Improvement: import_image@ has been extended to handle GIF files and resources.
