[Bug fortran/42607] add information about how to compile a module
------- Comment #2 from burnus at gcc dot gnu dot org 2010-01-06 14:16 -------
I think a description does not belong into "man gfortran" (invoke.texi), but
maybe into the general text of gfortran.texi.
I think .mod files are not obvious; the standard does not say anything about
them, though (almost?) all compilers use them. On the other hand, few people
seem to have problems with .mod files.
Intel has for instance the following in their manual:
http://software.intel.com/sites/products/documentation/hpc/compilerpro/en-us/fortran/lin/compiler_f/index.htm
- and mentions it short as output files:
http://software.intel.com/sites/products/documentation/hpc/compilerpro/en-us/fortran/lin/compiler_f/bldaps_for/common/bldaps_produce_outfiles.htm
IBM mentions them shortly at
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/lnxpcomp/v8v101/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.xlf101l.doc/xlfcr/compilgpgms.htm
