Now taking wagers...vote for the compiler vendor (one of their
products on any platform) that will first achieve 100% compliance
(realize that some of these may not be in the race or for some
operating systems):

Absoft
Lahey/Fujitsu
Intel
Silverfrost/Salford
HP
IBM
NAG
PGI
SUN
Pathscale
G95
GFortran
Other

I should set up a voting web site...

--->Can we come up with code snippets that would test incrementally-closer
compliance? I don't know what oo looks like in fortran. Does anyone have
any experience with it in fortran? I stumbled onto the topic some years
back when I wanted to have C functions that do the same thing with different
types.

As for my money, I'll bet against silverfrost and on sun. Of course, sun
isn't windows. I'm hoping that it can co-exist with windows, however. And
as long as we're betting, I'll take the Celtics over the Lakers.

Sun compilers run on linux, you know, you don't need to install Solaris
(which is what I think you're referring to) (although I had a year ago a
nice WinXP / DOS / Linux / Solaris / NetBSD system that earned me quite a
few points in most geek tests :)

Our Apple rep showed us something comparable one time a few years ago.
He was running OS X (of course), with several of those other options
running under Parallels. Of course, it had WinXP. I think I recall
Solaris, which I thought was pretty nifty for an Apple rep, and some
Linux distro. (Yes, NASA got Apple reps that could talk geek in addition
to the usual market-speak).

Do you know of any more or less up-to-date table describing the
implemented features of each compiler? For an application I'm
writting, I would very much like to use procedure pointers, but the
(little) search I've done in this group and in the PGI reference
manual didn't show up anything conclusive (there was an interesting
discussion about this a couple of years ago in this newsgroup, but I
wonder if things have chanced for the better since then).

Thanks,
