calling convention

[Nuno Pedrosa]

Hi all,

This is my first post in the GCC Fortran mailing list but i have been
working with fortran for the last 10 years.
gfortran has been an important part during all this time, most of the
time in Linux.

Quite recently I moved to developing in Windows and a lot of the legacy
code was compiled in Compaq Visual Fortran.
this means that code that depends on this Fortran library relies on the
old Compaq calling conventions.

The Intel compiler has options to change calling conventions.
that is change from default: lower case + appended underscore and string
lengths passed at the end of the argument list, to the Compaq
conventions: Upper case, no underscore and string lengths passed after
each string argument.
Not to mention the cdecl and stdcall calling conventions.

My question is: are there any plans to include such compiler options in
gfortran, if not can anybody point me in the right direction on which
gfortran source files to check if this can be done?

thanks in advance,

Nuno
