DEFY, DEmystify Fortran mYths

A KISS pure Fortran tests collection to hopefully demystify Fortran myths, but probably do not.

• DEFY is a pure Fortran tests collection aimed to demystify common Fortran myths;
• DEFY is aimed to be a highly reproducible Fortran tests collection;
• DEFY is a toy, but...
• DEFY is aimed to teach good practice;
• DEFY is a Free, Open Source Project.

where

• src/#myth is the home of each myth, e.g. src/goto_is_fastest;
  • each src/#myth/ contains:
    • src/#myth/README.md describes the myth and the testing suite;
    • one or more subdirectories containing the actual test(s) where there are:
      • a README.md describing the test;
      • a defy.f90 (or .F90 is pre-processor directives are used) Fortran file containing the actual test;
      • one or more bash scripts to run the test, e.g. run_gnu.sh to run the test with GNU gfortan without optimizations.

Currently DEFY collection includes:

Myths

• abstraction has overhead:
  • abstract OOD 1:
• goto is fastest:
  • goto if select comparison 1;
  • goto if select comparison 2;
• powers naive definitions have overhead:
  • powers 1:
• any new myth is more than welcome, feel free to open a new issue or create a pull request.
