Comparing $ edit descriptor and advance="no" in Fortran output - fortran

I know that the $ edit descriptor is not in the standard and that using advance="no" is recommended, but this little example shows that they have a different behaviour (with ifort but not with gfortran) and I don't understand why (it doesn't bother me more than that, but if anyone have an explanation I'm interested!).
program p
use sleep_mod
implicit none
integer :: i
character(len=80) :: mymsg
mymsg = 'H e l l o w o r l d ! W e l c o m e - B i e n v e n u e - W i l l k o m m e n'
!
!- Write the characters of "mymsg" on the same line with a time delay between them:
!
write(*,*)
do i = 1, len_trim(mymsg)
call usleep (onesec/4)
write(*,'(a1,$)') mymsg(i:i) ! ok w/ gfortran, ok w/ ifort
! write(*,'(a1)',advance='no') mymsg(i:i) ! ok w/ gfortran, KO w/ ifort
end do
write(*,'(/)')
end program p
The sleep_mod module is the following:
module sleep_mod
use iso_c_binding
integer(c_int32_t), parameter :: onesec = 100000_c_int32_t
interface ! found in http://computer-programming-forum.com (by Tobias Burnu)
subroutine usleep (useconds) bind(C)
use iso_c_binding
implicit none
integer(c_int32_t), value :: useconds
end subroutine
end interface
end module sleep_mod
With the $ version, whatever is the compilator (ifort or gfortran) the result is as expected: a time delay between each character print. The same result is obtained with the version with advance='no' compiled with gfortran but not with ifort.

How to READ data starting from a pattern-matched line with Fortran?

I have a file pos.xyz with the following format, where i = 6,etc represent the frame indices. (Here, the first frame has i = 6. In general, the first frame's index can be i = 0,i = 1, or i = 2,...)
I want to implement a function: For any two given integers a and b,( a<b, e.g., 7 and 9), read
the data from the frame index 7 to 9 into an array. Could you give me a suggestion on how to implement this idea?

what I did: for the special case with i = 0 as the first frame. For example, If I want to read from the 3rd frame, I can first skip (m+2)*(3-1) lines and then READ the data,m=4. The function is as follows.
SUBROUTINE skip_lines(indx, i_input)
! Purpose:
! To skip lines when read data from the input
IMPLICIT NONE
INTEGER :: i
INTEGER,INTENT(IN) :: i_input,indx
do i=1,i_input
read(indx,*) !Neglect (nat+2)*(ns-1) lines
enddo
END SUBROUTINE skip_lines
But for general case, if the first frame has a frame non-zero number,this idea is not efficient. I hope to find a better way to implement it.
Thanks to #francescalus 's and #High Performance Mark 's suggestions. I use a DO WHILE loop and I have implemented my idea. I put one simplified version of my subroutine here. It include some types defined in modules, which are not the important thing here. Now, it can
(1) Read a trajectory file from any step a to any step b, where a and b are given by user;
(2) Read data every ns steps.

How to fix solution with double integration

The solution for this double integration is -0.083 but in the final compliation it appears -Infinity. It seems that the error is very simple, but I really can't find it.
I have been searching specially in the module section but I don't see why it appears like -Infinity. For example, if you change the two functions between them (x in f2 and x^2 in f1) the solution for the integration is 0.083 and the code gives it correct. Can annyone find the error? Thanks a lot.

The main program is simple, just calling the subroutine and using the module. It also prints the final result.
First of all, like mentioned in the comments: your problem is not clear. Which input parameters a, b and n do you use and which result do you expect?
Other than that: the code you posted used deprecated features and non-standard types and bad code style.
Some general hints:
real*8 is non-standard Fortran. Use real(real64) instead. real64 has to be imported by use :: iso_fotran_env, only: real64.
non-integer expressions (do i=1d0,n-1d0) in do-loops are a deleted feature in modern Fortran. Use integers instead.
code should be formatted with white spaces and indentations
print*, should be replaced with write(*,*)
code should always use English names
write implicit none in the beginning of the module, not for every function.
make the module/program interface clear by using the statements private, public, and only
if You want to convert to type real, use the function REAL instead of DBLE
I prefer the cleaner function definition using result
use intent keywords: intent(in) passes the variable as a const reference.
the variables c,d,x,s,h in the main program are unused. Compile with warnings to detect unused variables.
This is the code changed with the suggestions I made:
module funciones

Rank 1 Transposition in Fortran-95 - Recursive I/O Operation Error [duplicate]

I'm trying to learn Fortran (unfortunately a necessity for my research group) - one of the tasks I set myself was to package one of the necessary functions (Associated Legendre polynomials) from the Numerical Recipes book into a fortran 03 compliant module. The original program (f77) has some error handling in the form of the following:
if(m.lt.0.or.m.gt.1.or.abs(x).gt.1)pause 'bad arguments in plgndr'
Pause seems to have been deprecated since f77 as using this line gives me a compiling error, so I tried the following:
module sha_helper
implicit none
public :: plgndr, factorial!, ylm
contains
! numerical recipes Associated Legendre Polynomials rewritten for f03
function plgndr(l,m,x) result(res_plgndr)

integer :: i,ll
if (m.lt.0.or.m.gt.l.or.abs(x).gt.1) then
write (*, *) "bad arguments to plgndr, aborting", m, x
res_plgndr=-10e6 !return a ridiculous value
else
pmm = 1.
if (m.gt.0) then
somx2 = sqrt((1.-x)*(1.+x))
fact = 1.
do i = 1, m

end do
end if
if (l.eq.m) then
res_plgndr = pmm

res_plgndr = pmmp1
else
do ll = m+2, l

end if
end if
end function plgndr

if (n <= 0) then

end function factorial

end module sha_helper
The main code after the else works, but if I execute my main program and call the function with bad values, the program freezes before executing the print statement. I know that the print statement is the problem, as commenting it out allows the function to execute normally, returning -10e6 as the value. Ideally, I would like the program to crash after giving a user readable error message, as giving bad values to the plgndr function is a fatal error for the program. The function plgndr is being used by the program sha_lmc. Currently all this does is read some arrays and then print a value of plgndr for testing (early days). The function ylm in the module sha_helper is also not finished, hence it is commented out. The code compiles using gfortran sha_helper.f03 sha_lmc.f03 -o sha_lmc, and
gfortran --version

end program sha_analysis
Your program does what is known as recursive IO - the initial call to plgndr is in the output item list of an IO statement (a print statement) [directing output to the console] - inside that function you then also attempt to execute another IO statement [that outputs to the console]. This is not permitted - see 9.11p2 and p3 of F2003 or 9.12p2 of F2008.
A solution is to separate the function invocation from the io statement in the main program, i.e.
REAL :: a_temporary
...

Other alternatives in F2008 (but not F2003 - hence the [ ] parts in the first paragraph) include directing the output from the function to a different logical unit (note that WRITE (*, ... and PRINT ... reference the same unit).
In F2008 you could also replace the WRITE statement with a STOP statement with a message (the message must be a constant - which wouldn't let you report the problematic values).
The potential for inadvertently invoking recursive IO is part of the reason that some programming styles discourage conducting IO in functions.

Array in derived type and OpenMP cause segmentation fault [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
Why Segmentation fault is happening in this openmp code?
(2 answers)
Closed 6 years ago.
I have a very simple code.
program test_example
use iso_c_binding, only: c_double, c_int
implicit none
integer, parameter :: nelems = 500000
integer, parameter :: Np = 16, Nvar = 4, Nflux = 16
type mesh2d
real(c_double) :: u(Np, nelems)
real(c_double) :: uflux(Nflux, nelems)
real(c_double) :: ucommon(Nflux, nelems)
end type mesh2d
type(mesh2d) :: mesh
integer(c_int) :: i, j, k
!$OMP PARALLEL DO
do j = 1, nelems
do k = 1, Np
mesh%u(k, j) = j+k
end do
end do
!$END PARALLEL DO
end program test_example
I compile it using
gfortran -g temp.F90 -o main.exe -fopenmp
And it gives me segmentation fault. The same code runs fine if instead of using a derived type I simply used an array.
Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong.
I ran into your segfault conundrum on my laptop, but your code ran without a hitch on my powerful desktop machine. Your nelems = 500000 requires heap access. Following #Vladimir F suggestion I obtained the following:

Print to standard output from a function defined in an Fortran module

I'm trying to learn Fortran (unfortunately a necessity for my research group) - one of the tasks I set myself was to package one of the necessary functions (Associated Legendre polynomials) from the Numerical Recipes book into a fortran 03 compliant module. The original program (f77) has some error handling in the form of the following:
if(m.lt.0.or.m.gt.1.or.abs(x).gt.1)pause 'bad arguments in plgndr'
Pause seems to have been deprecated since f77 as using this line gives me a compiling error, so I tried the following:
module sha_helper
implicit none
public :: plgndr, factorial!, ylm
contains
! numerical recipes Associated Legendre Polynomials rewritten for f03
function plgndr(l,m,x) result(res_plgndr)
integer, intent(in) :: l, m
real, intent(in) :: x
real :: res_plgndr, fact, pll, pmm, pmmp1, somx2
integer :: i,ll
if (m.lt.0.or.m.gt.l.or.abs(x).gt.1) then
write (*, *) "bad arguments to plgndr, aborting", m, x
res_plgndr=-10e6 !return a ridiculous value
else
pmm = 1.
if (m.gt.0) then
somx2 = sqrt((1.-x)*(1.+x))
fact = 1.
do i = 1, m
pmm = -pmm*fact*somx2
fact = fact+2
end do
end if
if (l.eq.m) then
res_plgndr = pmm
else
pmmp1 = x*(2*m+1)*pmm
if(l.eq.m+1) then
res_plgndr = pmmp1
else
do ll = m+2, l
pll = (x*(2*ll-1)*pmmp1-(ll+m-1)*pmm)/(ll-m)
pmm = pmmp1
pmmp1 = pll
end do
res_plgndr = pll
end if
end if
end if
end function plgndr
recursive function factorial(n) result(factorial_result)
integer, intent(in) :: n
integer, parameter :: RegInt_K = selected_int_kind(20) !should be enough for the factorials I am using
integer (kind = RegInt_K) :: factorial_result
if (n <= 0) then
factorial_result = 1
else
factorial_result = n * factorial(n-1)
end if
end function factorial
! function ylm(l,m,theta,phi) result(res_ylm)
! integer, intent(in) :: l, m
! real, intent(in) :: theta, phi
! real :: res_ylm, front_block
! real, parameter :: pi = 3.1415926536
! front_block = sqrt((2*l+1)*factorial(l-abs(m))/(4*pi*))
! end function ylm
end module sha_helper
The main code after the else works, but if I execute my main program and call the function with bad values, the program freezes before executing the print statement. I know that the print statement is the problem, as commenting it out allows the function to execute normally, returning -10e6 as the value. Ideally, I would like the program to crash after giving a user readable error message, as giving bad values to the plgndr function is a fatal error for the program. The function plgndr is being used by the program sha_lmc. Currently all this does is read some arrays and then print a value of plgndr for testing (early days). The function ylm in the module sha_helper is also not finished, hence it is commented out. The code compiles using gfortran sha_helper.f03 sha_lmc.f03 -o sha_lmc, and
gfortran --version

Your program does what is known as recursive IO - the initial call to plgndr is in the output item list of an IO statement (a print statement) [directing output to the console] - inside that function you then also attempt to execute another IO statement [that outputs to the console]. This is not permitted - see 9.11p2 and p3 of F2003 or 9.12p2 of F2008.
A solution is to separate the function invocation from the io statement in the main program, i.e.
REAL :: a_temporary
...
a_temporary = plgndr(1,2,0.1)
PRINT *, a_temporary
Other alternatives in F2008 (but not F2003 - hence the [ ] parts in the first paragraph) include directing the output from the function to a different logical unit (note that WRITE (*, ... and PRINT ... reference the same unit).
In F2008 you could also replace the WRITE statement with a STOP statement with a message (the message must be a constant - which wouldn't let you report the problematic values).
The potential for inadvertently invoking recursive IO is part of the reason that some programming styles discourage conducting IO in functions.

if (m.lt.0.or.m.gt.l.or.abs(x).gt.1) then
