Hi,

The NAGWare f95 Compiler -mtrace options may be used to track memory leaks.

The -C=undefined option, applied to your whole program, traps uninitialised memory reads for all data types.

The NAGWare f95 Compiler has many other useful checking features for more information see http://www.nag.co.uk/nagware/np.asp

You could try Silverfrost Fortran (formerly Salford).

The compiler has various debug aids, but AFIK

not the profiling stuff.

Subject: Fortran Development Tools - dynamic analyzer, etc.

Is anyone aware of tools for use by Fortran developers that can do the following:

Dynamic run time analysis (memory leak checking, unitialized memory reads, etc.)
Coverage analysis (how many times lines of code are executed)
Timing analysis (how long a particular routine or block of code requires to execute)
Runs on Linux (we use SUSE 9.0)
Runs with Fortran compilers (we use ifort)

Our organization had previously used (with great success) the Purify / PureCoverage / Quantify tools from Atria/ClearCase/IBM on HP-UX. We have been informed that IBM is no longer supporting any Fortran compiler on any platform. We need a replacement.

Does Intel's Vtune provide all of the above?

Does anybody use valgrind?

Are there others?

Thank you most kindly.

Byron
