Gfortran 6.1
Gfortran 6.1 (part of GCC) has been released. The release notes don't say much with respect to Fortran:
- The
MATMUL
intrinsic is now inlined for straightforward cases if front-end optimization is active. The maximum size for inlining can be set ton
with the-finline-matmul-limit=n
option and turned off with-finline-matmul-llimit=0
. - The
-Wconversion-extra
option will warn about REAL constants which have excess precision for their kind. - The
-Winteger-division
option has been added, which warns about divisions of integer constants which are truncated. This option is included in-Wall
by default.
But, apparently, this version includes some nice updates, including support for Fortran 2008 submodules, Fortran 2015 Coarray events, as well as bug fixes for deferred-length character variables.
