llvm dev - May 2017 - LLVM Fortran front-end

Is anyone aware of what the status of the LLVM PGI Fortran front-end is? 
The last I've seen any information on this mailing list is about a year 
ago, and the original mailing list message suggested that it would be 
made public in late 2016.

Didn't you see Hal's reply?
He keeps saying that they will announce something. I expect it will likely
be timed around ISC17 or SC17 if it will be this year.

Frankly I'm more than disappointed about the lack of transparency. Hal
talked about people having concerns over how "open source" Intel was
about
their OMP runtime, but this is way beyond that. A **** press release and no
code for over a year?! Is that *really* how the open source process works?
All that did was derail legitimate efforts on a real Flang.
>From the slides I've seen there's going to be a "PGI IR"
between "Flang"
and llvm ir I guess. If that's really the case then I'm curious if this
is
using a similar approach to what others have publicly worked already.

btw if you zoom in on the rather useless slides that are floating around -
you'd see that ThePortlandGroup/Flang github project was showing little
recent activity. I'll let others get their tinfoil hats to speculate
further..

Hi Chris,

 

Given that the email is *exactly* the same as yesterday’s I’d rather bet on a
technical reason here.

So probably no intention by Joshua ;-)

No official announcement yet, but looks like the code is now live:

I just love this option:

    -Mextened             Allow source lines up to 132 characters

Not only are long lines an extension, even that only gets you 132
characters. Punch cards forever!
