DOCERR: Documentation Error with Options /Ge and /Gs

 Last reviewed: July 18, 1995
Article ID: Q83226
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft FORTRAN for MS-DOS, version 5.1
  • Microsoft FORTRAN for OS/2, version 5.1

The documentation in the Microsoft FORTRAN Quick Reference Guide" for version 5.1 describes the compile option /Ge in the following way: 

   /Ge
      Reenables stack probes (the default).
The /Ge option is not on by default. By default /Gs (disable stack probes) is enabled.

The FORTRAN 5.1 reference manual correctly describes /Gs as the default option. The /Bd option outputs the compiler options that are used including all default options. Compiling a FORTRAN program with /Bd indicates that /Gs is a default option.

This is a documentation error in the "Microsoft FORTRAN Quick Reference Guide" for version 5.1.
