    Flang getting some love is pretty cool, however is it still only a parser? Last time I checked it didn't do compilation and instead threw everything at GCC.

        m68k support is a big deal, and not mentioned in the phoronix article.

          Does the C++ standard library of Clang++ already make extensive use of concepts? I ask because the Concepts implementation is not complete yet. Also a good question when it will be complete?

            That is kind of a big deal then! Especially on systems where GCC has been stripped out like FreeBSD or systems rocking an ancient GCC like OpenBSD. Would be better if the Fortran support was fully baked.

              OpenBSD doesn't have GCC anymore.

                But not really. Flang wouldn't be part of base and it wouldn't be dependent on base GCC anyway.

                  Read a paper just yesterday that said it did on platforms that don't have LLVM support, but yes on AMD64 I think you might be right that base doesn't ship with that ancient GCC version.

                    You mean LLVM? Besides, there are at least 4 projects called flang, but they all target LLVM.
