Gfortran
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- The correct title of this article is gfortran. The initial letter is shown capitalized due to technical restrictions.
gfortran is the name of the GNU Fortran compiler, which is part of the GNU Compiler Collection. gfortran has replaced the g77 compiler, which stopped development before GCC version 4.0. It includes support for the Fortran 95 language, is compatible with most language extensions supported by g77, allowing it to serve as a drop-in replacement in many cases, and first parts of Fortran 2003 have been implemented.
An experimental version of gfortran has been included in GCC versions 4.0.x, but only from version 4.1 on it is considered user-ready by its developers. Development is ongoing together with the rest of GCC.
