DOCERR: Documentation Error with Options /Ge and /Gs (83226)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft FORTRAN Compiler for MS-DOS 5.1
  • Microsoft FORTRAN compiler for OS/2 5.1
This article was previously published under Q83226
The documentation in the Microsoft FORTRAN Quick Reference Guide" for version 5.1 describes the compile option /Ge in the following way:

/Ge
Reenables stack probes (the default).

The /Ge option is not on by default. By default /Gs (disable stack probes) is enabled.

The FORTRAN 5.1 reference manual correctly describes /Gs as the default option. The /Bd option outputs the compiler options that are used including all default options. Compiling a FORTRAN program with /Bd indicates that /Gs is a default option.

This is a documentation error in the "Microsoft FORTRAN Quick Reference Guide" for version 5.1.
