g77.

[William G Sternbach]

Hello,

 

I have used g77 to compile a 1 Million line FORTRAN Linear Algebra library called Lapack

which I downloaded from www.netlib.org/Lapack/

 

I used maximum optimization (g77 -O3) and it worked beautifully.  The EXE file produced successfully passed the tests.

The timing tests show the EXE file g77 produced is very optimized and runs very fast.

If g77 can compile this 1 million line FORTRAN application with maximum optimization and successfully pass the tests,

than it can be trusted to compile anything.

 

I am eagerly awaiting the completion of g95.

Does anyone know an approximate date when it will be ready?
