How to Use This Guide

The Intel® Fortran Compiler Options Quick Reference Guide contains the following information:

New options for the current release
An alphabetical listing of all options
A cross reference of Windows* and Linux* compiler options

For complete information on each compiler option, refer to the Intel® Fortran Compiler User's Guide, Volumes I and II, and the ifort man page.

In this guide, compiler options are available on both IA-32 and Intel® Itanium® processors unless otherwise identified.

Notation Conventions

ON in "Default" column	Indicates that the option is in effect by default when the compiler is invoked. If an option has a value for the ON state, it is indicated in parentheses.
OFF in "Default" column	Indicates that, by default, the option is not used when the compiler is invoked. If an option has a value for the OFF state, it is indicated in parentheses.
this type style	Italic, monospaced text indicates placeholders for information that you must supply. Italics are also used to introduce new terms. For example, the option -Qoption,str,opts could appear in the command line as follows: ifort -Qoption,link,-w myprog.f
{value \| value}	Braces and a vertical bar indicate a choice among two or more items. You must choose one of the items unless all of the items are also enclosed in square brackets.
-option parameter	Indicates that an option requires a parameter; for example, in -Ldir, the option -L instructs the linker to search directory dir for libraries.
-option keyword	Indicates that an option requires one of the keyword values.
-option [keyword]	Indicates that the option can be used alone or with an optional keyword.
-option[n]	Indicates that the option can be used alone or with an optional value; for example, in -unroll[n], n can be omitted or a valid value can be specified.
-option[-]	Indicates that a trailing hyphen disables the option; for example, -ansi_alias- disables the -ansi_alias option.
-[no]option	Indicates that "no" preceding an option disables the option. For example, in -[no]altparam, -altparam enables the option, while -noaltparam disables the option. Note The [no]options are listed in the alphabetical order of an option.
