Options for Debugging Your Program or GNU Fortran
=================================================

   GNU Fortran has various special options that are used for debugging
either your program or `g77'.

`-g'
     Produce debugging information in the operating system's native
     format (stabs, COFF, XCOFF, or DWARF).  GDB can work with this
     debugging information.

     Support for this option in Fortran programs is incomplete.  In
     particular, names of variables and arrays in common blocks or that
     are storage-associated via `EQUIVALENCE' are unavailable to the
     debugger.

     However, version 0.5.19 of `g77' does provide this information in
     a rudimentary way, as controlled by the `-fdebug-kludge' option.

     Note: Options for Code Generation Conventions,
     for more information.
