At the time this documentation is written (14-dec-2010), here is the
status of the various Fortran compilers supported by Gildas:
- Intel Fortran Compiler (ifort): versions 9.0 and 11.1 have been
tested. As far as we know it seems fine to compile the new
kernel with ifort. There is no bug directly related to the new
kernel, but remember there can be problems in old version of
ifort (e.g. a memory leak with ifort 9.0).
- g95: none of the stable versions of g95 (i.e. up to 0.92) is now
able to run correctly the new Gildas kernel. The Fortran runtime
libraries it provides do not seem to be thread-safe, i.e. there
are conflictual access to its internal routines. With the
implementation of the Fortran co-arrays, the current development
version of g95 (0.93) should be thread-safe. The problem is that
this version is not stable enough to compile the Gildas kernel,
and developments seem frozen since August 2010.
- the GNU Fortran Compiler (gfortran): recent versions of gfortran
are able to compile and run correctly the new Gildas kernel. The
lower limit 4.3.0 required for the gfortran version and
introduced 2 years ago is kept unchanged. The annoying bug which
enforce the user to type RETURN after clicking in a widget
is not related to the new kernel. A patch for this bug has
been submitted to the development versions of gfortran, and it
will be part of the releases 4.4.6, 4.5.2 and 4.6.0.
