Re: [photran-dev] Fortran project properties

[Chris Recoskie <recoskie@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The problem will be that when using projects or toolchains which don't support Fortran, you'll end up with all kinds of Fortran stuff showing up, and users wondering why it's there or why it doesn't work.

Having your stuff show up on other people's projects (e.g. CDT's) when it wasn't asked for is against the rules of the release train.

I still don't really understand why having Fortran properties
available in C projects is so confusing, but then again I'm in this so
deep I have no idea what it's like to be a normal user.  So you're
probably right.

Do you mind opening a bug on this?  We only filter on the C nature in
ten places, so I'll find some time to look at those (and start writing
an upgrade guide, if we're going to break existing projects...)
