Relation of GNU f77/gfortran and f2c?

What is the relatio开发者_StackOverflow社区n of g77/gfortran and f2c today? Is there still development going on? Is one benefiting from the others advances (like bugs and performance)?

Who is developing f2c (if it's not done by the g77/gfortran developers)?

Thanks

g77 is no longer supported and is not being worked on. G77 was dropped and Gfortran started being shipped with gcc-4.0 in Apr 20 2005. The last of the gcc-3.* (with g77) was released officially in Mar 06 2006.

I think the same is true for f2c. The codebase is on netlib and the last changelog entry is 31 Aug. 1989.

All the Gnu development is on gfortran. Gfortran is supposed to work on Fortran77 code though. Gfortran is a native compiler (like g77) not a translator like f2c.
