- Subject: g77 compability ..
I have some questions regarding the g77 compability, mainly about the handling of libs and such.
Is there a consensus on how to handle g77 library calls ? Are we to keep libg2c ( or what it's current name is ), or provide calls to libgfortran instead ? ( it's not to hard to map most g77 library calls to g95 ones ).
And is this not one of the highest prioritized tasks ahead ? If we can't handle this I believe there will be major problems with old g77 code when gcc 3.5 shows up ?
There are more issues, as when linking g77 to external libs and to C stubs accessing external libs and this is a common method used in a lot of old code.
If this is bad enought should we not have a separate g77 compability page or g77 task list ?
