Code::Blocks is a free, cross platform Integrated Development Environment (IDE) (www.codeblocks.org). This site is for those, who would like to use Code::Blocks IDE for Fortran. Here you can find a customized (more or less) version of IDE oriented towards Fortran language (pre-built binaries for Linux and Windows are available). Also you can find some useful information about how to use it for programming with Fortran.

Note: FortranProject plugin, which makes C::B useful for Fortran, currently is included in an official Code::Blocks distribution for Windows (but not for Linux).

I took part inInternational Fortran Conference 2020 on 2-4 July 2020. There I spoked how Code::Blocks can be used for programming in Fortran. Presentation slides are below:

  • CodeBlocks_Fortran.odp (recommended, with gif animations)
  • CodeBlocks_Fortran.pdf (not recommended because gif animations are not displayed)

A new release v1.7 is out.

In this release Code::Blocks IDE was switched to use v3 of wxWidgets library. Perhaps, the biggest improvement is for users with HiDPI displays: now the used size of icons changes depending on the monitor's DPI.

/toontrack-ezmix-2-torrent-dmg-file.html. There is more improvements for Fortran: Call-/Called-By tree now can show dependency between modules; dependency between Fortran files is accounted at a workspace level instead of a project level as it was before; some improvements in a logic used by smart-code-completion.

(12.01.2019)

A new release v1.6 is out. Improvements in this release:

  • Improvements in Debugger plugin:
    1. Improved how arrays are displayed in the Watches window.
    2. Improved how character, complex and dynamic-type variables are displayed in the Watches window. This feature requires GDB with Python support.
    3. Implemented possibility to visualize content of 1D or 2D array as a curve or 2D surface directly from the debugger session. For this purpose Gnuplot external program is used. This feature requires the GDB with Python support and Gnuplot installed on the system. See the screen-shot below.

    More information about debugging in C::B can be found in Debugging Fortran code in the Code::Blocks IDE.

  • Improvements in 'Call/Called by' tree view: now using the right-click menu is possible to go to the calling line.

  • Improved the logic behind the brace completion: more intelligent, more intuitive.

  • Implemented possibility to add an additional search path for the code-completion items in the project properties dialog. See screen-shot below.

  • Parser now interprets simple preprocessor directives. This should improve the work with code which contains such directives.

  • Added Flang compiler support. Compiler can be downloaded from github.com/flang-compiler.

I have uploaded a new video tutorial on YouTube which demonstrates how to debug Fortran code using C::B:

A new release v1.5 Ms 7309 drivers. is out.

I would call this release a bug-fixing/feature-polishing release. I would like to say thanks to the users who pointed to the problems in the IDE.

Besides fixed bugs, this release adds possibility to show a Call-tree and a Called-by-tree. This feature should help developers to understand their code more quickly. To show Call-/Called-by-tree right-click on the procedure name in the editor and select 'Show' submenu (see screenshot below).

(09.12.2016)

A new release v1.4 is out. New features in this release:

  • Improved handling of submodules: during compilation the dependency of files containing submodules from their parent modules is taking into accout.
  • Fortran construct highlighting, e.g. if the cursor is placed between 'do', then FP plugin will find corresponding 'end do' statement and highlight it (see image below). This feature should help more quicklly understand the logic of the code.
  • FormatFortranIndent plugin was merged into FortranProject plugin. As earlier, you will find this tool in 'Fortran->Format indent'. There was added some options using which you can adjust indent to your taste. Plase, test this tool. If you feel, you need more options, maybe I could add them. Just write me.
  • Added possibility in editor to fold lines, which contains comments, if comments go through 4 and more lines (see image below). This feature was not yet commited into the official Scintilla text component. If you found errors in the folding of Fortran code, write me. Maybe I could improve it.

I have uploaded three short video tutorials on YouTube, which show how to start using C::B for programming in Fortran.

(27.02.2016)

A new release v1.3 is out. Comparing with an official C::B, CBFortran for Windows includes support for Intel Fortran compiler and FormatFortranIndent plugin and some other smaller changes. The official C::B for Linux doesn't include FortranProject plugin, therefore CBFortran is the only option for Linux users if they what to use C::B in development with Fortran.

New features in this release:

  • A documentation window side-by-side to code-completion list. If your code includes a documentation of some item, it can be showed in this window. FortranProject plugin recognizes the documentation: a) written in Doxygen, b) simple comments, which comes for procedures: above or below procedure declaration, and for variables: after on the same line. Make your code speak! ;-)
  • Tool called Auto Insert, which inserts 'end..' statements automatically when you press “enter” after statements which require such “end”. Some preferences for Auto Insert can be adjusted on FP settings dialog (Settings->Editor->FortranProject). Just do your job and you will see the magic! ;-)
  • The parsing of Gfortran multi-line messages was considerably improved.
  • BindTo tool. Actually, this tool took the most of my efforts. BindTo (Fortran->Bind To…) can automatically generate a wrapping for Fortran code which enables call of Fortran from the C language and can generate Cython files which enables call of Fortran from Python language. Resulting toolchain is something like: “Fortran->Bind(C)->Cython->Python”. Actually, the tool doesn’t do anything you can’t do yourself. It just saves your time. To better understand how to use BindTo, I wrote BindTo Users Guide, which hopefully will answer to most of your questions (other questions I expect to see on CBFortran google group). Please consider the current version of BindTo as “beta” or even “alpha”, especially the part for the generation of Cython files. Your opinion, ideas, suggestions, corrections etc. are very welcome!

Features

  • Editor with Fortran syntax highlighting (fixed and free form).
  • Compilation of Fortran project directly from IDE. FortranProject plugin should care about Fortran file dependencies. Alternatively you can use your supplied makefile.
  • Possibility to jump directly to the code line with an error (currently the support of gfortran, flang, Intel Fortran, Oracle Solaris Studio Fortran and PGI Fortran is implemented).
  • Symbols browser with defined program units (functions, subroutines, modules etc.) in your project.
  • Possibility to jump to code line with subroutine/function definition directly from editor (right click on the name and select 'Jump to: 'name') or from the symbols browser (double click on the name) or using menu 'Search->Jump to declaration'.
  • Program debugging using GNU GDB.
  • Completion of names when you type or when you press Ctrl+Space (you can change the key combinations in Editor's Settings). The support for subroutine/function names, the names of variables, the components of derived types and the type-bound procedures is implemented.
  • Call-tips with subroutine/function argument list. Appears automatically or when you press Ctrl+Shift+Space.
  • Appearance of tooltips when you hold mouse on variable or name of subroutine.
  • Jump to the definition of procedure or the variable from code line where it is mentioned.
  • Possibility to generate a Makefile (Fortran->Genarate Makefile). This feature should generate a working makefile for the active target in simple cases. Or the generated makefile can be used as a draft in more sophisticated projects.

License

Code::Blocks (and FortranProject plugin) is distributed at GPLv3.

Installation

Just extract archive in your favored directory. To launch Code::Blocks run codeblocks.exe (on Win) or codeblocks_run.sh (on Linux). If you have another Code::Blocks distribution on your system you may want to start Code::Blocks as a portable app by executing startup script codeblocks_portable.bat (codeblocks_run_portable.sh). Code::Blocks saves all settings in installation directory if you launch program using codeblocks_portable.bat (codeblocks_run_portable.sh). How to setup compiler's installation directory read on Info page.

Prerequest

To be able to compile your Fortran files you should have an installed Fortran compiler (gfortran or another one). Windows users first should install MinGW on their system. I would suggest you to install one from MinGW-W64.

Linux users should have 'gtk2' and 'xterm' installed on their system. Linux versions were tested on several recent distributions.

User manual

You can download the Code::Blocks user manual from www.codeblocks.org/user-manual.

Development

The major part, which makes C::B IDE useful for Fortran, is FortranProject plugin. This plugin has a separate project for development onSourceforge.There you can download latest source code directly from svn.

Free Fortran Compilers

There are a number of free Fortran 77 and 90 compilers available on thenet.The one I have been using in my Fortran courses at York isGNU, which implements Fortran 77 and adds several Fortran 90 features. Thanks to Prof. Clive Page (Dept of Physics & Astronomy, University of Leicester, UK)for providing the compiler and for valuable advice on Fortran in general.

You can download the 1999 version of this compiler (version 2.95 of gcc) along with the SLATEC library (Version 4.1, July 1993), from this page. Thepackage should run under all versions ofWindows.All the needed files are packed in one zipped file(Fort99.zip) of about 6MB.

(If for some reason you need the older DOS/EMX version,which does not include a library and does not run under Windows XP, then youcan download it from my old page.)

DOWNLOAD

  • Create the directory F
    The new folder must be immediately under the root of your hard disk. You can do this by double-clicking MyComputer, then double-clicking your hard drive (usually C:), and then selecting New Folder from the File menu and calling the folder F.
  • Download the file Fort99.zip (5,820,239 bytes).
    You can do this by right-clicking the mouse on the above link, and choosing Save Target As... In the Save As window that appears, locate the F folder, and save the file in it.
  • Unzip the downloaded file into F.
    Yon can do this by locating the file (starting from MyComputer) and simply double-clicking it to launch the zip/unzip program. Make sure to specify that all files should be extracted immediately under the F folder.
    Note: If the unzip program does not give you the option to specify the extraction location, let it extract the content to anywhere and then move the extracted folders (using cut and paste) to F. When done, you should see the four folders G77, SLATEC, MINE, and YORK appearing in F.
That's it! You use the compiler through CLI, the command-line interface (akaterminal, command prompt, or DOS) after setting two environmentvariables, PATH and LIBRARY_PATH, as shown below.

USAGE

You store your programs in the FYork

directory, compile themusing: f2exe, and create library object files using f2lib.Here is a very short program to test the compiler and the configuration: Use any editor to create this program (simply copy and paste) and save it as a text file in the FYork directory under the name test.for. Youcan, of course, use any editor you like as long as you can save the filein text format and with the extension you want. Notepad, for example, uses text but insists on using the txt extension (unless you override by double-quoting) while MS-Word insists on its propriety format (unless you explicitly override). I highly recommend using the Crimsoneditor, which can be downloaded from the on-line

Fortran 77 Compiler For Windows 10 64 Bit

Lab-1 (see below).

To compile your program, start a CLI session (by launching the command promptprogram, usually in the Accessories group) and issue these two commands:These set the environment so that your computer would know where the compilerand its libraries are located.
Note: these two commands must be issued every time you start a CLI session. Youcan optionally automate this step by adding these two variables to the system-wideenvironment using the Control Panel.
You can now compile and run your program by typing:If the first command returned an error then the directory was not created (ornamed) correctly. If the second command was not recognized, or complained that a library is missing, then the environmentvariables were not set correctly (you can issue the set command without any arguments to inspect all environment variables).

More information on using the compiler can be found in theon-line Labs at theFortran@York site.

LANGUAGE

The FG77doc directory has a detailed reference to the language, which is largly ANSI Fortran-77but with some Fortran-90 features added (see below).

The above Fortran@York sitecontains a quick reference guide, lab, and SLATEC usage examples.If you are already familiar with Fortran then the following points may beall you need to know about this compiler:

  1. Control Structures
    You can use either the old (goto-based) or the new (structured) control flow (or mix them in the same program). Support of the 'ugly goto' is meant for existing code only, and any new development should avoid it.
  2. Style
    You can write your source using either the old style code (column 7) or the newer free-form.
  3. Compilation Command
    The above f2exe command is just a batch file that invokes g77, the 'real' compilation command. The command: directs the compiler to compile the file prog.for and stores the output in the file prog.exe. The -ffree-form switch indicates free-form style (remove it if you are using the old style).
  4. Comments
    In free-form style, use ! for both full-line and in-line comments. In the old style, use a 'C' in column-1.
  5. Statement Continuation
    In free-form style, you can continue a statement on the next line by ending it with an ampersand '&'. In the old style, put a character in column-6.
  6. Path Separator
    When referring to files (e.g. in the file=' ' parameter of the OPEN statement) use a forward slash '/' or two consecutive backslashes ' rather than a backslash to delimit directories. This is because the backslash ' denotes an escape sequence in strings.
  7. I/O Unit Numbers
    Not all unit numbers are allowed in the OPEN statement. In particular, unit 5 is 'pre-connected' to the keyboard. Units 10 through 99 seem to work well with disk files.
  8. Fortran-90 Features
    These include: Automatic arrays in subprograms, zero length strings, character constants may be enclosed in double quotes (') as well as single quotes, cycle and exit, the DOUBLE COMPLEX type, DO WHILE, the END decoration, KIND, IMPLICIT NONE, INCLUDE statements, list-directed and namelist I/O on internal files, binary, octal, and hex constants, `O' and `Z' edit descriptors, NAMELIST, OPEN specifiers STATUS='REPLACE', the FILE= specifier may be omitted in an OPEN statement if STATUS='SCRATCH' is supplied, relational operators <, <=, , /=, > and >= may be used instead of .LT., .LE., .EQ., .NE., .GT. and .GE. respectively, SELECT CASE (but not for character types).
  9. Separate Compilation of Subprograms
    Your main program is recognized by the program statement, as in the Convert program above. The subprograms (functions and subroutines) can be included in the same file as the main program (in which case you can compile everything in one shot) or can be stored in separate file(s). It is recommended that you store general reusable subprograms in separate files so that you can reuse them (without recompiling them) in future projects. To compile a file that contains only subprograms (no program statement), use the f2lib command, which generates object files, one per sub, in the mine directory, e.g. will compile (without linking) the subprogram in util.for and store the output (an object file) in the file util.o. f2lib is just a batch file that invokes the g77 command with the -c (compile-only) switch, viz.A program that uses pre-compiled object files can be compiled (and linked to them) by simply referring to them in the compilation command: The above command searches all object files in mine to resolve any missing reference in prog.for.
  10. Separate Compilation of Subprograms, automated
    The supplied f2exe and f2lib batch files take care of separate compilation and delayed linking with object files and with the SLATEC subprograms. You don't have to directly issue the g77 command unless you use the old columnar style or you want to change one of the switches or directories.
  11. Assembly Listing
    The -S (capital S) switch allows you to see a listing of the generated assembly code.
