Description

The purpose of the GNU Fortran (GFortran) project is to develop the Fortran compiler front end and run-time libraries for GCC, the GNU Compiler Collection. The GFortran compiler is fully compliant with the Fortran 95 Standard and includes legacy F77 support. In addition, most F2003 and F2008 and an increasing number of F2018 and F2023 features are implemented. Of particular importance are the support for MP and coarrays to support production parallel computation. See the gfortran wiki for more details: https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/Gfortran.

The presentation will describe the status of implementation of the new or modified features of each of the newer standards and the areas where active development is concentrated.

GFortran development follows the open development process. We do this to attract a diverse team of developers and to ensure that GFortran works on multiple architectures and diverse environments. We always need more help! Please visit https://gcc.gnu.org/fortran/ and the links therein.
