According to the GCC 4.4 Release Criteria,
http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-4.4/criteria.html, only C and C++ are primary
languages. And thus only C and C++ regressions can be release critical.
I propose to add Fortran to these languages. Reasons:
- Fortran is relatively widely used; while C/C++ is wider used,
distributions and to a lesser users compile also libraries such as BLAS,
LAPACK etc. which are written in Fortran
- gfortran has few (known;-) regressions. Currently, PR33296 and PR32841.
My first thought is does gfortran support and have
similarly good test results on all primary and secondary
platforms.
- It is actively maintained
- the RM can still downgrade regressions to P4 to P6.
