[flang-dev] Can flang compile lapack and scalapack?

[Steve Scalpone via flang-dev]

Here’s what I know about compiling lapack from https://github.com/Reference-LAPACK/lapack.

Classic flang can compile and execute lapack.  https://github.com/flang-compiler/flang

New flang can’t execute lapack yet; its code generator is still being written.  https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project.

The code generator is being developed downstream of llvm-project in the fir-dev branch of https://github.com/flang-compiler/f18-llvm-project.  That branch can compile lapack but not yet compile all of the included test programs.

I expect that fir-dev will be able to execute the lapack test programs in a few months.  There’s an on-going project to upstream fir-dev to llvm-project; it’s hard to predict when all of the required code will be available in https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project.

Dear Flang developers,

Can flang compile  commonly used Fortran library from netlib.org such as lapack and scalapack?

Just checking.

Thanks.

Ed
