double-size

Specifies the default KIND for DOUBLE PRECISION and DOUBLE COMPLEX declarations, constants, functions, and intrinsics.

Syntax

Linux and macOS:

-double-size size

Windows:

/double-size:size

Arguments

size

Specifies the default KIND for DOUBLE PRECISION and DOUBLE COMPLEX declarations, constants, functions, and intrinsics. Possible values are: 64 (KIND=8) or 128 (KIND=16).

Default

64

DOUBLE PRECISION variables are defined as REAL*8 and DOUBLE COMPLEX variables are defined as COMPLEX*16.

Description

This option defines the default KIND for DOUBLE PRECISION and DOUBLE COMPLEX declarations, constants, functions, and intrinsics.

Option

Description

double-size 64

Defines DOUBLE PRECISION declarations, constants, functions, and intrinsics as REAL(KIND=8) (REAL*8) and defines DOUBLE COMPLEX declarations, functions, and intrinsics as COMPLEX(KIND=8) (COMPLEX*16).

double-size 128

Defines DOUBLE PRECISION declarations, constants, functions, and intrinsics as REAL(KIND=16) (REAL*16) and defines DOUBLE COMPLEX declarations, functions, and intrinsics as COMPLEX(KIND=16) (COMPLEX*32).

The real-size option overrides the double-size option; for example, on Linux* systems, "-double-size 64 -real-size 128" acts like "-double-size 128 -real-size 128".
