Default Behavior of the Intel Fortran Compiler

The compiler generates one or more output files from one or more input files. By default, it performs the following actions:

• Searches for all files, including library files, in the current directory.

• Passes options designated for linking to the linker.

• Passes user-specified libraries to the linker.

• Displays error and warning messages.

•  Performs default settings and optimizations, unless these options are overridden by specific options settings.

• For IA-32 applications, uses the -mtune=pentium4 option to optimize the code for the Intel® Pentium® 4 processor.

• For Itanium® -based applications, uses the -mtune=itanium2 option to optimize the code for the Intel® Itanium® 2 processor.

Note

On operating systems that support characters in Unicode* (multi-byte) format, the compiler will process file names containing Unicode* characters.
