So far as I know this is the first native F90 compiler to be released. David Muxworthy ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Edinburgh Portable Compilers Ltd (EPC) has produced a native Fortran 90 compiler for Unix systems. EPC Fortran 90 is now available on Sparc Solaris 1.X and 2.X systems, and will be ported to other Unix platforms in succeeding months. Because it is not a pre-processor, the compiler's particular strengths are in its performance and diagnostic capabilities. Major features include: * EPC Compilation Environment - provides facilities to:- 1) Organize and manage compilation of F90 program units 2) Detect incorrect compilation order 3) Automatically bind an F90 program from its constituent parts * Advanced optimizations to provide high performance * Support for many common language extensions * Supported by EPC's graphical interactive debugger, EDB, which is sensitive to F90 * Options to enable run-time diagnostics which trap unassigned variables, exceeded array bounds, unallocated pointers and arrays, routines called with different arguments from those expected, etc. EPC Fortran 90 is fully documented, and is marketed and supported worldwide.
