List compilers by platform #74

Open Beliavsky opened 3 years ago

Beliavsky commented 3 years ago

It would be nice to have a chart with a list of platforms (operating system and hardware) and which compilers run in them. Some common platforms are (1) Windows x86 (2) Windows Subsystem for Linux (3) Linux x86 (4) Apple on Intel (5) Apple Silicon

and others could list more.

For (1) I know from personal experience that gfortran, Intel, and g95, Lahey/Fujitsu Fortran 95, and Salford work, and there are other compilers. For (2) I have used gfortran and flang/clang 7.0.1. (This flang is not mature. I've read that there is a distinct "classic flang".)

In another issue the question of providing objective information about compilers was discussed. At least the existence of compilers for platforms can be summarized objectively.

Better distinguish by platform (Windows, MacOS, Linux, FreeBSD, AIX, ...) and architecture (x86_64, i868, aarch64, ppc64le, ...). For the commercial compilers with free community versions this information is already present.
