Re: [tree-ssa] configuring g77 appears broken

Is this intentional?  I can't find a Changelog entry
noting that g77 was removed from tree-ssa.

Yes, Richard Henderson removed it:


http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-cvs/2003-10/msg01057.html

Perhaps --enable-languages=f77 should be aliased to --enable-languages=f95?

Please do not do this.  Is it possible to issue a
message stating the g77 is unavailable until it
is converted to use tree-ssa features?

I don't think anyone has time to do this (certainly *I* do not have time to do this). The current plan is to have g95 in 3.5 only - we can debate whether it should default to compiling .f files (i.e., Fortran 77 code).


Distributors of complete free operating systems should offer g77-3.4 somewhere so that people can continue to compile Fortran 77 code the way they used to.

Note that 3.5 is still a year away and distributors won't flock to a compiler that has such a radical overhaul in its internal structure.

Hope this helps,
