------- Comment #8 from fxcoudert at gcc dot gnu dot org 2007-07-28 20:51 ------- I do understand that it would be easier for you to "tweak" the kind numbers used by gfortran to accomodate old code, but there really is a problem with doing so: it will, for example, clash with the prospected use of real(kind=16) for software floating-points, which we plan to incorporate into gfortran.
After some discussion on IRC, I'm closing this as WONTFIX, unless something thinks of a way to avoid the clash and step forward to actually implement this enhancement. In that later case, please REOPEN the bug. -- fxcoudert at gcc dot gnu dot org changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|NEW |RESOLVED Resolution| |WONTFIX http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=22629
