We would have a working Fortran 95 compiler.
I'd be careful making claims like this:)
Oh, okay, just shoot me for being optimistic... :)
There is a good chance it will not be a complete replcement for g77 in time
for gcc 3.5. Hopefully it will be usable as a f95 compiler, but it will most
likley still have rough edges.
On the other hand, can't people who need g77 simply stay with 3.4 and
earlier?
One problem with the g77 is that lots of people use it, but none of them
seem very active on these lists. The Ada folk have spoken well; who will
advocate on behalf of g77's users?
It is pretty much conformant to gcc coding standards. AFAIK the only thing
we're missing is a full description of the gfortran specific compiler
options.
Assuming some sanity and financial stability in my life -- a big
assumption -- I'll look into some of the documentation issues.
g77 will probably never be made to work with tree-ssa. IMHO such effort would
be better directed towards making gfortran work properly.
I agree.
