Yes – nvfortran is free and can run on OS X.

I want diversity in compilers, but these days it is often at the expense of avoiding known compiler bugs/limitiations.  In my experience, getting fixes for gfortran has become rather difficult, and I instead invest my time in workarounds.

One of my friends wants to compile one of my codes on MacOS. Notwithstanding that I originally developed it using gfortran (before ifort was offered for free), it won't compile in gfortran because of a more-recently-introduced bug having to do with equivalence.

Is there a free Fortran compiler other than gfortran for MacOS? Intel has announced there will be no ifort updates for MacOS, and no ifx at all for MacOS.
