Currently, gfortran only has start up routines, cf.
http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gfortran/Non_002dFortran-Main-Program.html
I think it makes sense to also add shutdown routines.
Currently, _gfortran_abort calls:
close_units ();
Additionally, one should call:
flush_all_units ();
For some reasons _gfortran_exit_i(4,8) does not. And, I think it would make
sense to call the unit flushing (via the shutdown routine) also for "STOP" and
when leaving the main program. And non-Fortran main programs should do the same
(cf. link above).
The (externally visible) shutdown routine shall return and leave the exiting of
the program to the caller.
