What happens to Fortran scratch files when a program terminates early? -
specifically i'd know if scratch files in fortran deleted if program terminates (or killed) before issuing close()
on scratch unit.
the fortran standard says file deleted on "normal termination of program". while many implementations may try delete scratch files on abnormal termination, don't recommend depending on this. in particular, if "kill" program, less scratch files deleted.
