Globalization Prefix in Fortran?

The automatic globalization of statics in the fortran compiler is creating some problems for us, in terms of checksumming recompiled binaries.

Douglas Walls' blog had some advice on this for the C / C++ folks, but neglected to mention the magic option for setting the globalization prefix for fortran users. Anybody know what it is, if it is?

Yeah, I saw that already, it doesn't really say anything about fixing it, though. It doesn't even mention the -xglobalstatic option.

-Qoption f90comp -h,<prefix>(In case it isn't obvious, you need to replace <prefix> with whatever prefix you want to use.)

Fantastic, thanks. (Was that in documentation anywhere or is it just something you have to know?)

It is not documented. A rule of thumb is that an option that is accessed via the -Qoption flag is undocumented, unsupported, and may change in a future release. You could request that all three compilers make this option "first class": just go to bugs.sun.com and follow the directions for requesting a feature.
