Could use some flush statements with gfortran [SOLVED]

[raul_l]

If I compile with the GNU compiler, then the 'out' file is not updated after each iteration when performing a scf calculation. After the printing of

Code: Select all

chkinp: Checking input parameters for consistency.

it prints nothing else until the calculation has finished. I can still use the log file, which is constantly updated, for checking the progress, but it would be more convenient to use the 'out' file. This is in contrast to the Intel compiler, which allows me to see information such as

Code: Select all

     iter   Etot(hartree)      deltaE(h)  residm     vres2
 ETOT  1  -230.11851422961    -2.301E+02 1.733E-01 8.238E+03
 ETOT  2  -230.26281844625    -1.443E-01 1.458E-03 7.966E+03
...

as the calculation is running. One way to fix this would be

but perhaps the devs know of a better solution (I'm not so familiar with the code).
