I tried this same program with g95 before I submitted a bug and got what I thought was the correct results without needing the additional _8 . Do the standards specify that default precision for constants is kind=4? I suppose then that a warning would be good when mixing precisions in assignments. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=17927
