[ Snip ]
Optimizations:
Lots of backends support prefetching of array elements
in loops.
Underflow-forced-to-zero enabled at -ffast-math for lots of targets.
Fortran:
libf2c a shared library, which enables shared library components based
on Fortran code.
libf2c supports reading/writing of > 2Gbyte files on 32-bit targets.
frontend allows arrays up to 2 Gbyte in size (2**29 REALS, 2**28 DOUBLE
PRECISION or 2**27 COMPLEX*16 values).
