SLATEC Common Mathematical Library, Version 4.1, July 1993 a comprehensive software library containing over 1400 general purpose mathematical and statistical routines written in Fortran 77.
This library contains the main SLATEC Fortran source. There are five (5) machine specific subprograms (D1MACH, I1MACH, R1MACH, FDUMP and XERHLT) in the source file. These are described further in the next two paragraphs. Machine constants, such as word length and maximum positive exponent, are supplied to routines in SLATEC source via the functions D1MACH, I1MACH and R1MACH. Make sure that each machine type at your site returns the correct values for these functions. In most cases, this only requires replacing a "C" with a blank in the first column of several lines of each function. The copies of D1MACH, I1MACH and R1MACH included in the source have all the machine specific constants commented out with a "C" in column one. The standard error handler has two machine dependent subroutines in it: FDUMP and XERHLT. The routine XERHLT is called via XERMSG when a fatal error is encountered and must terminate the job. The copy of XERHLT included in this file contains a "STOP" and thus does stop execution. However, in most circumstances, this normal exit is unacceptable when an error has been detected and this subroutine should be replaced at each site. The routine FDUMP is called via XERMSG when traceback information is desired. This routine should provide the traceback information to appropriate output files. The copy of FDUMP included in the source does not produce traceback information. If this function is desired, it must be implemented at each site. It is assumed that all ANSI-77 standard intrinsic functions are vendor-supplied and, therefore, are not included in the main SLATEC source. In the event that some of these subprograms are not resident on the system (e.g. DINT on CDC), many are included in the subsid. (See below.) In some cases, the higher special functions (e.g. error functions, Bessel functions) anticipate that certain errors will be handled in the intrinsic functions. This may not be done appropriately in vendor-supplied intrinsic functions and may cause difficulties.

If some of the quick checks fail on certain machines, it does not necessarily indicate a problem in the source, but possibly in the quick checks themselves, or the machine architecture or the operating system or the compiler or vendor or user supplied software. The main programs (quick check drivers) are test01.f,...,test54.f. On the VAX under VMS, the quick checks should be run with KPRINT = 0 or 1 (zero or one).
