I worked on compiling FORTRAN at Xilinx 20 years ago. The only thing I remember is that the header file for f2c.h contains a definition of barf:

/* f2c.h -- Standard Fortran to C header file /

/* barf [ba:rf] 2. "He suggested using FORTRAN, and everybody barfed."

Does using all-caps FORTRAN say something about me? Fortran looks wrong to me.
Yes, it says you probably got started before the f90 standard.
Glad it’s not just me.
