All,
One of my colleagues on the Fortran Standardization Committee asked me
the following question:
"People are still not too familiar with the new GCC numbering scheme.
My impression is that 5.2 is just a maintenance update of 5.1. However,
they still want assurance that there are no call interface or module
format changes between 5.1 and 5.2 so that libraries and modules built
with 5.1 (MPI, for example) will still work with 5.2. Is that the case?"
I went to https://gcc.gnu.org/develop.html#num_scheme for answering that
question, but it is by far not explicit enough to answer it.
Shouldn't we be documenting the shift in numbering schematics on a far
more obvious location on our web site, and with more complete semantics ?
Kind regards,
