  • New Flang update

  • We continue to work through items regarding Flang’s readiness to be merged into the LLVM monorepo. This was the bulk of today’s discussion.

  • The upstreaming was not be ready for the March 23 target we had. We will discuss in the technical call remaining items and timing.

  • Pat McCormick and David Truby’s CMake change merged.

  • We are working through more feedback on changes from clang-format settings. Coming to consensus on this is very important.
