Interpretation request tracking bug * * *
Found at http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.fortran/browse_thread/thread/c05874d85748d9e6 The problem is function f() result(res) res = f(something) where "f" is both a specific and a generic function and "f(something)" matches a the different generic function. However, Section 12.5.2.1 of Fortran 2003 has: "If RESULT is specified, [...] all occurrences of the function name in execution-part statements in the scoping unit refer to the function itself." This somehow clashes with other parts of the standard and it is currently unclear whether the program is valid. Some compilers accept it (e.g. gfortran), others reject it. * * * Submitted as interpretation request for J3 MEETING 189 LAS VEGAS, NEVADA, August 10 - 14, 2009 http://www.j3-fortran.org/doc/year/09/paper189.txt Presumably will be: http://www.j3-fortran.org/doc/year/09/09-237.txt -- Summary: Recursive constraint for specific calling same-named generic procedure Product: gcc Version: 4.5.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Keywords: accepts-invalid Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: fortran AssignedTo: unassigned at gcc dot gnu dot org ReportedBy: burnus at gcc dot gnu dot org http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=40264
