-fexcess-precision={standard,fast} and Fortran [Fwd: c-4_5-branch merge plan]

[Tobias Burnus]

Hi all,

the following item might be interesting for Fortran:

* C99-conforming excess precision.  Main patch:
<http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2008-11/msg00105.html>.  Fixes bug
323 [1] for C (other languages would need their own front-end work to
implement suitable predictable semantics under the same command-line
option in order to complete fixing the bug).

[1] http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=323

I have not read through the patch, but maybe Fortran should also support
-fexcess-precision={standard,fast}.

Tobias
