- Subject: Suggestion for a moratorium on short-circuit IF
Hi,
after some thoughts and off-line discussion with another contributor,
I would like to propose a moratorium on this topic.
It seems that we are unable to agree to a course of action, or even
the direction that the course should take us. Also, I think that
a continuing disagreement could do more harm to gfortran development
than this topic actually merits.
So, my proposal would be to freeze the current status, which is better
than gcc 8 because we have added a warning that was not there before,
and because we now have the documentation that users can turn to.
I would also like to thank Janus for the work he has put into this,
and the other participants of the discussion.
Maybe we can discuss this over a beer at the GNU cauldron (hint, hint).
I'll buy a round.
Regards
Thomas
