LLVM's Fortran Compiler "Flang" Progress

A link to a PDF presentation is at the bottom of the page for those interested in more details.

p.s. I guess there could also be a compilers category in FortranLang. This topic fits none of the existing categories.

There is a related thread and same content shared there Support for Flang effort - #15 by vmagnin

Thanks for the link. I never saw the other post. I will remove this topic as it is almost a duplicate (Edit: I cannot delete topics, apparently only forum owners can do so, which is odd and limiting in my opinion).

In the past month that Flang-New renaming discussion has been reignited with talk of possibly pursuing it for the LLVM 20 cycle. LLVM 19 (LLVM 19.1) stable is to be released soon and with the LLVM 20 cycle now getting underway for a stable release around March of next year, it would be a good time to rename the compiler early in the development cycle.

This Discourse thread started this week by an Arm/Linaro engineer also is looking to promote the status of this Fortran compiler.

This morning is another success story that Flang-New in LLVM Git is recently now able to compile MGLET. the Multi-Grid Large Eddy Turbulence HPC software.
