------- Comment #11 from mimo2 at free dot fr 2007-03-20 20:12 ------- hi tobi, may-be they have strong arguments as you say, but I've not catched them. And I still believe that if there is an ambiguity in the standard, the solution is to have a -fshort-circuit to let the user decide what he wants, and more importantly that this option applies equally to bound-checking or not. The other thing I wanted to add is that I've worked on alpha with f90, and I could bound-check my program, so I guess they were short-circuiting it. Then I switched to linux with pgf90, and there also bound-check was working with my program. Now I'm trying free compilers, i.e. gfortran and g95. With g95, short-circuit is also applied on bound-checks. There is only gfortran which has this singular behaviour. I agree this doesn't prove anything, and may-be gfortran is the only "standard compliant" program. But I'll stop this discussion here, and will stay with g95 when I want to bound-check my program. Thanks anyway to all for the time spent to answer my questions.
