Hi John,
We went ahead and remove the dummy subroutine in those timing for the last
LAPACK version because we did not find a machine or compiler that still had the
problem.
I guess we were too optimistic.
I also committed your "cosmetic" modifications as they make the program easier
to modify.
The new secondtst.f and dsecndtst.f were committed in revision 918 in our SVN
repository.
See http://www.netlib.org/lapack/#_svn_access
Thank you for your bug report
Regards,
Julie

Hello. I noted on the netlib site that timing & performance is a topic
for some lapack work. I worked on just that for versions from 3.2 to
3.3.0 and found what appears to be a bug in gfortran, the Fortran
compiler on my Linux system. Versions 3.2 and 3.2.1 have a dummy
subroutine attached at the end of test program sourcefile secondtst.f in
the INSTALL folder, also dsecndtst.f. The presence of the dummy
subroutine somehow makes the timer calls work right. This looks to me
like a gfortran compiler bug, and I'm pursuing the issue as a compiler
bug. If other compilers have the same problem, maybe there's a defect in
Fortran implementations, such as failure to make sure that arrays have
been allocated and initialized before trying to do things with them.
Below is a copy of a modified secondtst.f from lapack-3.2.2 with the old
code that makes it reliably report timing loop results. I also added a
variable TOTAL to simplify changes in setting array size and iterations
which affect total flops and made few other changes. My local copy of
dsecndtst.f is similarly modified.
