Hi again, I was studying and building the lfort repository as I said I would do, but after a while I decided that I would like to work on flang instead. So, I forked flang and so far I've had pretty good success with it, here's what I've done: - Merged a pull request from a github user Michael Gottesman(He added support for latest ll...

Ok, that's good to know. In the next couple of days I will study the lfort repository more, and see if I can perhaps contribute a commit or two. Thankfully I know git and github and so that would make lfort really accessible for me. 2013/4/13 Hal Finkel <hfinkel at anl.gov&g...

Thanks for your replies. Working on the lfort compiler would certainly be an interesting project for me for this GSoC. I have studied lfort repository and commits, and I see that it has a lot of stuff for C/C++, am I correct that this is a fork of Clang? If this is correct, I wonder why this approach was chosen instead of starting out from scr...

...creating a complete Fortran compiler is a huge effort. But what about approaching it from a test driven development perspective? We start with a few small Fortran programs as "test cases". The GSoC task then gives the task as getting test case 1 to work. We could also apply this of "lfort". Determine a test case that currently fails on lfort, and ask the GSoC task to pass the test.

Otherwise the code will bitrot really quickly and thus will be waste of time and money. Is there s...

FWIW, I also started working on a Fortran frontend (derived from Clang, but mostly just to piggyback on the Driver and CPP infrastructure). https://github.com/hfinkel/lfort If you're interested in contributing, that would be great. Nevertheless, I think that Anton is right. Creating a quality Fortran compiler is a community effort, and seems too big for a GSoC project. Perhaps we could identify some separately-useful component. -Hal > > -- > With bes...

Also, the Fortran grammar is not the simplest (or, rather - straightforward one). So this certainly looks too big for GSoC. Though, it
