1-5 FORBIDDEN / ESOTERIC / OBSOLETE STATEMENTS
***********************************************
(Thanks to Sergio Gelato for the excellent comments and information,
and to Dan Pop and Craig Burley)
The new Fortran 90 standard officially started a slow process of
weeding out parts of the older language specification that are
obsolete or harmful to good programming.
The weeding process must be slow, so that the evolving Fortran
standard (and the new compilers) will stay backward compatible
with older (legacy) code, long enough that users of such code
will be able to conveniently port/rewrite it.
This weeding process is important to check the constant growth
of the language, adding new features without removing some of the
older ones makes the language large, and compilers very complex.
Individual programmers can contribute to this process by stopping
to use the 'bad' statements now.
Harmful statements
==================
Some standard FORTRAN statements are detrimental to good programming
practice by their nature, it's recommended that you don't use them:
ASSIGN / Assigned GOTO
Instead of ASSIGN and assigned GO TO, use plain integers and
either a computed GO TO or an IF construct; or subroutine calls,
if appropriate.
Fortran 90 provides a SELECT CASE construct that is often more
readable than the computed GO TO.
DIMENSION
Usually used to declare the dimensions of arrays whose type was
implicitly declared.
The recommended practice is to declare all arrays explicitly,
and to specify the index bounds as part of the (REAL, INTEGER,
DOUBLEPRECISION, LOGICAL or CHARACTER) declaration.
ENTRY
May be tolerated in some special cases of small, tight packages
that need to keep internal state, as an alternative to reserving
a named COMMON block for this purpose. For larger packages, use
a private, named COMMON block instead. Fortran 90's MODULEs offer
a much cleaner solution to this class of coding requirements.
EQUIVALENCE
EQUIVALENCE make programs difficult to understand and
maintain, it usually hinders data flow analysis and,
consequently, automatic compiler optimizations.
EQUIVALENCE makes different variables and arrays (and even
parts of arrays) share the same memory storage, the same
variable will have more than one name (and even data type!),
and can be accessed by each of them. That behaviour is
exploited for various (generally non-portable) tricks
involving the internal representation of variables.
Equivalence was used (before the introduction of virtual
memory) to implement program internal 'memory management',
a large array was equivalenced dynamically to form the
arrays used in the program. Memory was saved in that
method because the same part of the primary array was
used for different program arrays at different times.
Yet another use for EQUIVALENCE is to produce an aggregate
data type similar to Pascal's record or C struct/union,
e.g. several variables, not necessarily of the same type,
can be equivalenced to a large enough array. The resulting
structure can be passed with the array name, and its
'elements' can be accessed with their own names.
Having the same variable accessed as if it belonged to
another data type (for special manipulations) can be done
by putting the variable in a procedure argument list
(or common block) and declaring different data types
in different procedures.
ARITHMETIC IF
The ARITHMETIC IF statement
IF (Expression) Label1, Label2, Label3
branches to one of the three specified labels according
to the value of the expression:
Condition Action
================= =============
Expression .LT. 0 GOTO Label1
Expression .EQ. 0 GOTO Label2
Expression .GT. 0 GOTO Label3
The Arithmetic IF is considered harmful.
Esoteric statements
===================
NAMELIST
NAMELIST is a common extension among FORTRAN 77 compilers, and
has been incorporated into the Fortran 90 standard. It provides
a convenient alternative to writing one's own parser for free-form
"keyword=value" input, particularly when it is expected that
default values will be taken for most or all keywords. Its main
drawbacks are:
- the external representation of NAMELIST data varies between
implementations. Some require / as a terminator, some want
&END. Some ignore column 1 on input, others don't. On output,
some prefer $ to & as a prefix.
- there is no guarantee that any given FORTRAN 77 compiler will
support NAMELIST. Most do, but some implementations have bugs.
Very long NAMELISTs should particularly be avoided.
- Parsing NAMELIST input is relatively costly (the processor
needs to do elaborate parsing and table look-up at run-time).
Obsolete statements
===================
Some other older FORTRAN statements are obsolete, and there are
better replacements for them.
Statement Recommended replacement
--------------- ------------------------
PAUSE 'message' WRITE (*,*) 'message'
READ (*,'()')
PRINT n,... WRITE (*,n) ...
It is preferable to use a 'unified' approach and do all
I/O with WRITE and READ.
ACCEPT n,... READ (*,n) ...
TYPE n,... WRITE (*,n) ...
ACCEPT and TYPE aren't even standard FORTRAN, but rather
extensions provided by DEC and a few other vendors.
Definitely avoid them in portable code.
A much more important factor in the social movement than those already mentioned was the ever-increasing influence of women. This probably stood at the lowest point to which it has ever fallen, during the classic age of Greek life and thought. In the history of Thucydides, so far as it forms a connected series of events, four times only during a period of nearly seventy years does a woman cross the scene. In each instance her apparition only lasts for a moment. In three of the four instances she is a queen or a princess, and belongs either to the half-barbarous kingdoms of northern Hellas or to wholly barbarous Thrace. In the one remaining instance208— that of the woman who helps some of the trapped Thebans to make their escape from Plataea—while her deed of mercy will live for ever, her name is for ever lost.319 But no sooner did philosophy abandon physics for ethics and religion than the importance of those subjects to women was perceived, first by Socrates, and after him by Xenophon and Plato. Women are said to have attended Plato’s lectures disguised as men. Women formed part of the circle which gathered round Epicurus in his suburban retreat. Others aspired not only to learn but to teach. Arêtê, the daughter of Aristippus, handed on the Cyrenaic doctrine to her son, the younger Aristippus. Hipparchia, the wife of Crates the Cynic, earned a place among the representatives of his school. But all these were exceptions; some of them belonged to the class of Hetaerae; and philosophy, although it might address itself to them, remained unaffected by their influence. The case was widely different in Rome, where women were far more highly honoured than in Greece;320 and even if the prominent part assigned to them in the legendary history of the city be a proof, among others, of its untrustworthiness, still that such stories should be thought worth inventing and preserving is an indirect proof of the extent to which feminine influence prevailed. With the loss of political liberty, their importance, as always happens at such a conjuncture, was considerably increased. Under a personal government there is far more scope for intrigue than where law is king; and as intriguers women are at least the209 equals of men. Moreover, they profited fully by the levelling tendencies of the age. One great service of the imperial jurisconsults was to remove some of the disabilities under which women formerly suffered. According to the old law, they were placed under male guardianship through their whole life, but this restraint was first reduced to a legal fiction by compelling the guardian to do what they wished, and at last it was entirely abolished. Their powers both of inheritance and bequest were extended; they frequently possessed immense wealth; and their wealth was sometimes expended for purposes of public munificence. Their social freedom seems to have been unlimited, and they formed combinations among themselves which probably served to increase their general influence.321 The old religions of Greece and Italy were essentially oracular. While inculcating the existence of supernatural beings, and prescribing the modes according to which such beings were to be worshipped, they paid most attention to the interpretation of the signs by which either future events in general, or the consequences of particular actions, were supposed to be divinely revealed. Of these intimations, some were given to the whole world, so that he who ran might read, others were reserved for certain favoured localities, and only communicated through the appointed ministers of the god. The Delphic oracle in particular enjoyed an enormous reputation both among Greeks and barbarians for guidance afforded under the latter conditions; and during a considerable period it may even be said to have directed the course of Hellenic civilisation. It was also under this form that supernatural religion suffered most injury from the great intellectual movement which followed the Persian wars. Men who had learned to study the constant sequences of Nature for themselves, and to shape their conduct according to fixed principles of prudence or of justice, either thought it irreverent to trouble the god about questions on which they were competent to form an opinion for themselves, or did not choose to place a well-considered scheme at the mercy of his possibly interested responses. That such a revolution occurred about the middle of the fifth century B.C., seems proved by the great change of tone in reference to this subject which one perceives on passing from Aeschylus to Sophocles. That anyone should question the veracity of an oracle is a supposition which never crosses the mind of the elder dramatist. A knowledge of augury counts among the greatest benefits222 conferred by Prometheus on mankind, and the Titan brings Zeus himself to terms by his acquaintance with the secrets of destiny. Sophocles, on the other hand, evidently has to deal with a sceptical generation, despising prophecies and needing to be warned of the fearful consequences brought about by neglecting their injunctions. The stranger had a pleasant, round face, with eyes that twinkled in spite of the creases around them that showed worry. No wonder he was worried, Sandy thought: having deserted the craft they had foiled in its attempt to get the gems, the man had returned from some short foray to discover his craft replaced by another. “Thanks,” Dick retorted, without smiling. When they reached him, in the dying glow of the flashlight Dick trained on a body lying in a heap, they identified the man who had been warned by his gypsy fortune teller to “look out for a hidden enemy.” He was lying at full length in the mould and leaves. "But that is sport," she answered carelessly. On the retirement of Townshend, Walpole reigned supreme and without a rival in the Cabinet. Henry Pelham was made Secretary at War; Compton Earl of Wilmington Privy Seal. He left foreign affairs chiefly to Stanhope, now Lord Harrington, and to the Duke of Newcastle, impressing on them by all means to avoid quarrels with foreign Powers, and maintain the blessings of peace. With all the faults of Walpole, this was the praise of his political system, which system, on the meeting of Parliament in the spring of 1731, was violently attacked by Wyndham and Pulteney, on the plea that we were making ruinous treaties, and sacrificing British interests, in order to benefit Hanover, the eternal millstone round the neck of England. Pulteney and Bolingbroke carried the same attack into the pages of The Craftsman, but they failed to move Walpole, or to shake his power. The English Government, instead of treating Wilkes with a dignified indifference, was weak enough to show how deeply it was touched by him, dismissed him from his commission of Colonel of the Buckinghamshire Militia, and treated Lord Temple as an abettor of his, by depriving him of the Lord-Lieutenancy of the same county, and striking his name from the list of Privy Councillors, giving the Lord-Lieutenancy to Dashwood, now Lord Le Despencer. "I tell you what I'll do," said the Deacon, after a little consideration. "I feel as if both Si and you kin stand a little more'n you had yesterday. I'll cook two to-day. We'll send a big cupful over to Capt. McGillicuddy. That'll leave us two for to-morrer. After that we'll have to trust to Providence." "Indeed you won't," said the Surgeon decisively. "You'll go straight home, and stay there until you are well. You won't be fit for duty for at least a month yet, if then. If you went out into camp now you would have a relapse, and be dead inside of a week. The country between here and Chattanooga is dotted with the graves of men who have been sent back to the front too soon." "Adone do wud that—though you sound more as if you wur in a black temper wud me than as if you pitied me." "Wot about this gal he's married?" "Don't come any further." "Davy, it 'ud be cruel of us to go and leave him." "Insolent priest!" interrupted De Boteler, "do you dare to justify what you have done? Now, by my faith, if you had with proper humility acknowledged your fault and sued for pardon—pardon you should have had. But now, you leave this castle instantly. I will teach you that De Boteler will yet be master of his own house, and his own vassals. And here I swear (and the baron of Sudley uttered an imprecation) that, for your meddling knavery, no priest or monk shall ever again abide here. If the varlets want to shrieve, they can go to the Abbey; and if they want to hear mass, a priest can come from Winchcombe. But never shall another of your meddling fraternity abide at Sudley while Roland de Boteler is its lord." "My lord," said Edith, in her defence, "this woman has sworn falsely. The medicine I gave was a sovereign remedy, if given as I ordered. Ten drops would have saved the child's life; but the contents of the phial destroyed it. The words I uttered were prayers for the life of the child. My children, and all who know me, can bear witness that I have a custom of asking His blessing upon all I take in hand. I raised my eyes towards heaven, and muttered words; but, my lord, they were words of prayer—and I looked up as I prayed, to the footstool of the Lord. But it is in vain to contend: the malice of the wicked will triumph, and Edith Holgrave, who even in thought never harmed one of God's creatures, must be sacrificed to cover the guilt, or hide the thoughtlessness of another." "Aye, Sir Treasurer, thou hast reason to sink thy head! Thy odious poll-tax has mingled vengeance—nay, blood—with the cry of the bond." HoME古一级毛片免费观看
