Happy New Year! Welcome to the January 2021 edition of the monthly Fortran newsletter. The newsletter comes out at the beginning of every month and details Fortran news from the previous month.
This month we’ve had a few updates to the website:
Ongoing work:
Let us know if you have any suggestions for the website and its content. We welcome any new contributors to the website and the tutorials page in particular - see the contributor guide for how to get started.
Here’s what’s new in stdlib
:
log_debug
to stdlib_logger
Work in progress:
stdlib_stats_distribution
modules. It provides probability distribution and statistical functions.stdlib
as a subproject in CMakeDon’t hesitate to test and review these pull requests!
Otherwise, ongoing discussions continue about usability of stdlib
(#7,
#215,
#279,
#280,
#285),
and new implementations for stdlib
(#135,
#212,
#234,
#241,
#258,
#259,
#262,
#268,
#277).
The candidate for file system operations to be included in stdlib is being developed by @MarDiehl and @arjenmarkus in this repository. Please try it out and let us know how it works, if there are any issues, or if the API can be improved.
Here’s what’s new in fpm
:
fpm update
subcommandfpm install
fpm build --show-model
fpm run -h
new_package
callWork in progress:
fpm
is still in early development and we need as much help as we can get.
Here’s how you can help today:
The short-term goal of fpm is to make development and installation of Fortran packages with dependencies easier. Its long term goal is to build a rich and decentralized ecosystem of Fortran packages and create a healthy environment in which new open source Fortran projects are created and published with ease.
There are several pull requests out for evaluation.
Only one pull request was merged in December:
Alexis-Perry Holby (aperry@lanl.gov) has taken over the Flang biweekly calls. An invitation was sent to the flang-dev LLVM email list on December 22nd. Call notes will be sent to the flang-dev email list and also recorded here.
Recent development updates:
FORALL
statementsALLOCATE
IMPLICIT_NONE(EXTERNAL)
STORAGE_SIZE()
, SIZEOF()
, and C_SIZEOF()
As usual, subscribe to the mailing list and/or join the Discourse to stay tuned with the future meetings.
We thank everybody who contributed to fortran-lang in the past month by commenting in any of these repositories:
