These implementations were pure interpreters; they would re-read (and then ignore) the comments every time they executed a given part of the program. They had no initial translator. The typical Fortran implementation comes close to pure compilation. The compiler translates Fortran source into machine language. Usually, however, it counts on the existence of a library of subroutines that are not part of the original program. ) and I/O. The compiler relies on a separate program, known as a linker, to merge the appropriate library routines into the final program: Fortran program Compiler Incomplete machine language Library routines Linker Machine language program In some sense, one may think of the library routines as extensions to the hardware instruction set.
