------- Additional Comments From tobi at gcc dot gnu dot org 2005-03-04 11:27 -------
- a simpler compiler
- simpler interfacing with C code
- less excess precision problems with floating point returns (REAL*4 returns are
not returned as REAL*8)
- faster executables
- we'll never get this if we don't do it now
But if you really like the default the other way round, I'd suggest:
- you implement the necessary changes to the library :-)
- we discuss this on the mailing list once I submit the patch, so that other
people can weigh in as well.
I hope to get there today, I have finished the COMPLEX part, and I don't think
the REAL part will be difficult.
