On Mon, 2 Aug 1993, Michael Feldman posted a response to Jonathan Schilling:
MF. Another example: are there any vendors out there who've tried to go after
. a piece of the Fortran-oriented market by mapping its multidimensional
. constrained arrays in column-major form? The LRM allows any old storage
. mapping. Teachers like me explain this seeming gaffe by pointing out that
. a compiler oriented at the Fortran crowd _could_ use column-major
. storage to interface with old Fortran codes,
Boy and do I have a pant-load of well-test old Fortran codes I would like to
reuse ala "plug and play". But nooooooo, array mapping is not compatible.
So I have to lift the hood and thus am forced to translate this stuff to Ada
for no other reason... I really like writing Ada, but I do not like figuring
out someone else's Fortran just so I can translate it to Ada...
