fortrun

fortrun is an experimental build/run helper for Fortran projects.

Current status: on hold. The repository contains useful caching, CLI, module scanning, and FPM integration experiments, but it is not the active path for the Lazy Fortran compiler bootstrap.

Intended Role

fortrun should eventually be a runner/orchestrator:

• run standard Fortran files through existing compilers
• run Lazy Fortran or Infer-mode scripts through FortFront/ffc
• cache build artifacts safely
• discover local module dependencies
• integrate with package/build metadata

It should not own the language frontend or native backend. Those belong to:

• fortfront: frontend and transformation
• ffc: compiler driver and backend
• standard: target language-mode specification

Current Priorities

Open issues track the work that still matters:

• reduce noisy CLI output
• verify cache behavior with stronger tests
• move standard/language documentation out to standard
• decide whether web-style module imports belong here
• align generics/trait behavior with LFortran compatibility

Until ffc has a working executable subset, fortrun should stay focused on runner ergonomics and avoid implementing compiler behavior itself.

Build

fpm build

Status

Experimental. Expect APIs and behavior to change.
