Syntax for openmp long directive list fortran77

Question

PROBLEM : Long list of directives openmp fortran77

c$omp parallel default(shared) private(i,k,i1,i2,i3,i4,i5,
     $ i6,x0,y0,z0,vnx0,vny0,vnz0,qs0)
c$omp do
      Task to be performed
c$omp end do
c$omp end parallel

I'm trying to compile the above program using ifort and it works fine. I have checked with the serial version and I get the same result

ifort -openmp -parallel -o ./solve 

But when I try to compile using gfortran it doesn't work.

gfortran -fopenmp 

I get the following error

quinckedrop.f:2341.57:

This proposed solution doesn't work for me (may be because I am using fortran77)

Answer 1

Your problem simply boils down to that the OpenMP continuation syntax for fixed format sources Fortran code is like this:

c$omp parallel blah
c$omp+private( blah )
c$omp+reduction( blah )

Well, to be more precise, all the 3 following forms for directives are equivalent:

c$omp
!$omp
*$omp

But in any case, a directive spread across several lines must be split using an extra character in the 6th column, as already shown. This character can be anything but a space or a zero. (thanks to Hristo Iliev for having corrected me in that. Initially mistakenly stated that the continuation character was supposed to be a +)

Adding the various necessary c$omp+ continuation lines should just solve your problem

This should look like this:

c$omp parallel default(shared) private(i,k,i1,i2,i3,i4,i5,
c$omp+ i6,x0,y0,z0,vnx0,vny0,vnz0,qs0)
c$omp do
      Task to be performed
c$omp end do
c$omp end parallel
