<!-- The lines above are NOT optional.  If you're adept at reading DTDs,
     the one that this file conforms to is at the URL listed above.  
     
     But most humans writing a flags file will want to have it automatically 
     checked using a validating parser such as RXP (available at
     http://www.ltg.ed.ac.uk/~richard/rxp.html), or use one of the on-line
     parsers:
       http://www.stg.brown.edu/service/xmlvalid/
       http://www.cogsci.ed.ac.uk/~richard/xml-check.html
     
     The parser used by the CPU tools is _not_ a validating parser, so it
     may be possible to sneak things by it that would not pass the checkers
     above.  However, if the checkers above say that your file is clean, it's
     clean.

     Flag files submitted to SPEC _will_ be checked by a validating parser.
     Invalid or not-well-formed flag files will be rejected.

                certain aspects of the language. &lt;suboption&gt; can be
                one of the following:

                signedzero | nosignedzero
                     Determines how the SIGN(A,B) function handles
                     signed real 0.0. In addition, determines
                     whether negative internal values will be
                     prefixed with a minus when formatted output
                     would produce a negative sign zero.
                autodealloc | noautodealloc
                     Determines whether the compiler deallocates
                     allocatable arrays that are declared locally
                     without either the SAVE or the STATIC
                     attribute and have a status of currently
                     allocated when the subprogram terminates.
                oldpad | nooldpad
                     When the PAD=specifier is present in the
                     INQUIRE statement, specifying -qxlf90=nooldpad
                     returns UNDEFINED when there is no connection,
                     or when the connection is for unformatted I/O.
                     This behavior conforms with the Fortran 95
                     standard and above. Specifying -qxlf90=oldpad
                     preserves the Fortran 90 behavior.

                Default:
                     o signedzero, autodealloc and nooldpad for the
                     xlf95, xlf95_r, xlf95_r7 and f95 invocation

                Ensures that optimizations done by default at
                optimization levels -O3 and higher, and, optionally
                at -O2, do not alter the semantics of a program.

                The -qstrict=all, -qstrict=precision,
                -qstrict=exceptions, -qstrict=ieeefp, and
                -qstrict=order suboptions and their negative forms
                are group suboptions that affect multiple,
                individual suboptions. Group suboptions act as if
                either the positive or the no form of every
                suboption of the group is specified.

                Default:

                     o Always -qstrict or -qstrict=all when the
                     -qnoopt or -O0 optimization level is in effect
                     o -qstrict or -qstrict=all is the default when
                     the -O2 or -O optimization level is in effect
                     o -qnostrict or -qstrict=none is the default
                     when -O3 or a higher optimization level is in
                     effect

                &lt;suboptions_list&gt; is a colon-separated list of one
                or more of the following:

                all | none
                     all disables all semantics-changing
                     transformations, including those controlled by
                     the ieeefp, order, library, precision, and
                     exceptions suboptions.  none enables these
                     transformations.
                precision | noprecision
                     precision disables all transformations that
                     are likely to affect floating-point precision,
                     including those controlled by the subnormals,
                     operationprecision, association,
                     reductionorder, and library suboptions.
                     noprecision enables these transformations.
                exceptions | noexceptions
                     exceptions disables all transformations likely
                     to affect exceptions or be affected by them,
                     including those controlled by the nans,
                     infinities, subnormals, guards, and library
                     suboptions. noexceptions enables these
                     transformations.
                ieeefp | noieeefp
                     ieeefp disables transformations that affect
                     IEEE floating-point compliance, including
                     those controlled by the nans, infinities,
                     subnormals, zerosigns, and operationprecision
                     suboptions. noieeefp enables these
                     transformations.
                nans | nonans
                     nans disables transformations that may produce
                     incorrect results in the presence of, or that
                     may incorrectly produce IEEE floating-point
                     signaling NaN (not-a-number) values. nonans
                     enables these transformations.
                infinities | noinfinities
                     infinities disables transformations that may
                     produce incorrect results in the presence of,
                     or that may incorrectly produce floating-point
                     infinities.  noinfinities enables these
                     transformations.
                subnormals | nosubnormals
                     subnormals disables transformations that may
                     produce incorrect results in the presence of,
                     or that may incorrectly produce IEEE
                     floating-point subnormals (formerly known as
                     denorms). nosubnormals enables these
                     transformations.
                zerosigns | nozerosigns
                     zerosigns disables transformations that may
                     affect or be affected by whether the sign of a
                     floating-point zero is correct. nozerosigns
                     enables these transformations.
                operationprecision | nooperationprecision
                     operationprecision disables transformations
                     that produce approximate results for
                     individual floating-point operations.
                     nooperationprecision enables these
                     transformations.
                order | noorder
                     order disables all code reordering between
                     multiple operations that may affect results or
                     exceptions, including those controlled by the
                     association, reductionorder, and guards
                     suboptions. noorder enables code reordering.
                association | noassociation
                     association disables reordering operations
                     within an expression. noassociation enables
                     reordering operations.
                reductionorder | noreductionorder
                     reductionorder disables parallelizing
                     floating-point reductions. noreductionorder
                     enables these reductions.
                guards | noguards
                     guards disables moving operations past guards
                     or calls which control whether the operation
                     should be executed or not. enables these
                     moving operations.
                library | nolibrary
                     library disables transformations that affect
                     floating-point library functions. nolibrary
                     enables these transformations.
