Re: Updated Compiler Comparisons

We've updated the compiler comparison charts on our website to include the new Intel V10 compilers for Windows and Linux. We expect several further refreshes over the next few weeks

The site has in fact had a complete re-design (at great expense in time and money!) and we'd welcome comments/bug reports etc.


This is a bit late, but I noticed that your "Intel/Linux compiler comparison" chart lists that gfortran doesn't implement TR 15581 (Allocatable dummy arguments, derived type components, etc.)

However, the GCC 4.2 release series change notes
(http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-4.2/changes.html) say:

Support for allocatable components has been added (TR 15581 and Fortran 2003).

Is there a reason to think this support is not complete ?

Kind regards,
