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,
