rouson added a comment. +1 @kiranchandramohan I have access to the NAG Fortran compiler and find it very helpful for checking standard conformance. I was unaware of the NAG test suite and don't see any mention of it online. Is it an official product that can be purchased? Repository: rG

rouson added a comment. I think this is an exciting step. I hope it gets approved. Although it's technically true that this could appear to be a regression for current flang script users, the ultimate compilation currently happens by invoking an external compiler so most current flang script

rouson added a comment. @awarzynski I'll echo your comment that "... most people new to LLVM Flang use flang rather than flang-new and most (all?) find it very confusing." I've known of flang in various forms (including a flang predated classic flang) and yet I'm still finding new information

[PATCH] D122008: [flang][driver] Add support for generating executables

rouson added a comment. @awarzynski based on @h-vetinari's optimism about adding flags, I still like option 2. If it's not possible to add flags, then I would prefer option 1. If we go with option 3, then I am at least encouraged by reviewing the upstreaming project status links that @kiran

[PATCH] D122008: [flang][driver] Add support for generating executables

rouson added a comment. I also very much like the second option. I think it prevents a naive user from stumbling into treacherous territory. Also, as someone who is funded to write tests for flang, making it easier to build executables would expand the options for testing. Currently, we're
