--- Comment #1 from Tobias Burnus <burnus at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
The following restriction of F2003 is also gone:
C528 (R501) If the VALUE attribute is specified, the length type parameter
values shall be omitted or specified by initialization expressions.
F2008 + F2018 permit them.
Implementation choice (for characters and arrays): One can pass those with
known bounds as ARRAY_TYPE (i.e. by value) or one passes them as a pointer to
an ARRAY_TYPE (i.e. by reference).
Currently, for character they are passed by value as (known string-length)
ARRAY_TYPE.
