Compiler Support for the Fortran 2008 Standard

The table below documents features from the Fortran 2008 standard that are supported by recent versions of several available compilers. Of course, development versions of some compilers support may additional features. See Compiler Support for Modern Fortran for a summary, caveats, and links to compiler-specific status pages. A similar table is also available for Fortran 2003 status and Fortran 2018 status

The table is based on data from a series of articles in the ACM Fortran Forum by Ian D. Chivers and Jane Sleightholme. For further details of the features listed, see the following report by John Reid: https://wg5-fortran.org/N1851-N1900/N1891.pdf.
