This patch fixes lowering of elemental character MIN/MAX in HLFIR. Previously, these cases could hit a lowering-time TODO `ElementalIntrinsicCallBuilder::computeDynamicCharacterResultLength` and abort. This change computes the character result length as the maximum length of the present actual arguments, allowing valid elemental character MIN/MAX calls to lower successfully. Added regression coverage for elemental character MIN/MAX, including differing-length arguments. Co-authored-by: Sairudra More <moresair@pe31.hpc.amslabs.hpecorp.net>
Flang
Flang is a ground-up implementation of a Fortran front end written in modern C++. It started off as the f18 project (https://github.com/flang-compiler/f18) with an aim to replace the previous flang project (https://github.com/flang-compiler/flang) and address its various deficiencies. F18 was subsequently accepted into the LLVM project and rechristened as Flang.
Please note that flang is not ready yet for production usage.
Getting Started
Read more about flang in the docs directory. Start with the compiler overview.
To better understand Fortran as a language and the specific grammar accepted by flang, read Fortran For C Programmers and flang's specifications of the Fortran grammar and the OpenMP grammar.
Treatment of language extensions is covered in this document.
To understand the compilers handling of intrinsics, see the discussion of intrinsics.
To understand how a flang program communicates with libraries at runtime, see the discussion of runtime descriptors.
If you're interested in contributing to the compiler, read the style guide and also review how flang uses modern C++ features.
If you are interested in writing new documentation, follow LLVM's Markdown style guide.
Consult the Getting Started with Flang for information on building and running flang.
