Attitude of the gcc maintainers (a rant)Attitude of the gcc maintainers (a rant)Posted Nov 17, 2008 17:51 UTC (Mon) by cjcoats (guest, #9833)In reply to: Attitude of the gcc maintainers (a rant) by anton Parent article: A potential competitor for GCC: pcc As a (mostly Linux-based) Fortran developer, I've seen this too -- particularly parsing command-line options in a manner that imitates the worst of pre-90 FORTRAN -- fixed-source-form Fortran is the _only_ other language I know that regards whitespace as insignificant (the first step in processing it is to eat whitespace before any other parsing). But "-o penmp" and "-openmp" mean the same thing for gfortran -- and two out of three Linux distros don't have the docs on-line to tell you what they *really*do* want. ;-( And if you complain about that, you get abuse, also. fwiw.
