Fortran wiki update

[Janus Weil]

Hi Damian,

> I just updated the Fortran 2003 status page on the Fortran wiki (http://fortranwiki.org/fortran/show/Fortran+2003+status) to show the gfortran version number as 7.2 and to switch the status of derived type I/O from “No” to Yes”.

thanks for doing that.


> The page correctly shows that the only unimplemented Fortran 2003 feature is parameterized derived types. Could someone please tell me if it would be appropriate to switch the designation for the following features from “Partial” to “Yes”?

> 1. Finalization

No. There are still several important cases missing, see
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=37336


> 2. ASSOCIATE construct
> 3. Allocatable character length
> 3. Generic procedure interfaces with the same name as a type

I thought we had that one ...


> 4. Renaming operators on the USE statement
> 5. Specification and initialization expressions
> 6. Changes to intrinsic functions

There are two items with number 3 on your list. Which one do you mean?
If the second, I tend to agree (unfortunately that item is missing in
the list at https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/Fortran2003Status). I'm not sure
about the status of the first.


> As an aside, I frequently find that people cite this page as an indication of the lack of support for modern Fortran.  It’s useful to keep the page up-to-date to combat that perception.

Definitely. Thanks again.

Cheers,
Janus
