Richard,
As less intrusive first step I can bring the fortran variants in line
with the middle-end ones, especially wrt correctness. We at least
should correct these issues.
For what it is worth, I applaud your effort - I think that the gfortran
middle-end should be made completely consistent with the rest of gcc.
The nature of your proposed patch is such that it should apply
relatively easily to all and any of the trees; ie. a given
function/macro is replaced by its rest-of-gcc equivalent. A nagging
worry that I have is that the gcc middle-end is still not very well
documented. The majority of the active gfortran developers are not
full-timers and already find the gfortran variants fairly hard going at
times (speaking first and foremost for myself, of course!) without
having to delve deeper into gcc MiddleWorld. That said, I would get on
with it if I were you.
Cheers
Paul T
