Any conflict between +a description here and a description in the Fortran standards is +unintentional, and the standard(s) should be considered authoritative. +</p> +<p>The enumeration of the <code>KIND</code> type parameter is processor defined in +the Fortran 95 standard. GNU Fortran defines the default integer type and +default real type by <code>INTEGER(KIND=4)</code> and <code>REAL(KIND=4)</code>, +respectively. The standard mandates that both data types shall have +another kind, which have more precision. On typical target architectures +supported by <code>gfortran</code>, this kind type parameter is <code>KIND=8</code>. +Hence, <code>REAL(KIND=8)</code> and <code>DOUBLE PRECISION</code> are equivalent. +In the description of generic intrinsic procedures, the kind type parameter +will be specified by <code>KIND=*</code>, and in the description of specific +names for an intrinsic procedure the kind type parameter will be explicitly +given (e.g., <code>REAL(KIND=4)</code> or <code>REAL(KIND=8)</code>). Finally, for +brevity the optional <code>KIND=</code> syntax will be omitted. +</p> +<p>Many of the intrinsic procedures take one or more optional arguments. +This document follows the convention used in the Fortran 95 standard, +and denotes such arguments by square brackets. +</p> +<p>GNU Fortran offers the <samp>-std=</samp> command-line option, +which can be used to restrict the set of intrinsic procedures to a +given standard. By default, <code>gfortran</code> sets the <samp>-std=gnu</samp> +option, and so all intrinsic procedures described here are accepted. There +is one caveat. For a select group of intrinsic procedures, <code>g77</code> +implemented both a function and a subroutine. Both classes +have been implemented in <code>gfortran</code> for backwards compatibility +with <code>g77</code>. It is noted here that these functions and subroutines +cannot be intermixed in a given subprogram. In the descriptions that follow, +the applicable standard for each intrinsic procedure is noted. +</p> + + +<hr> +<div class="header"> +<p> +Next: <a href="ABORT.html#ABORT" accesskey="n" rel="next">ABORT</a>, Up: <a href="Intrinsic-Procedures.html#Intrinsic-Procedures" accesskey="u" rel="up">Intrinsic Procedures</a> [<a href="index.html#SEC_Contents" title="Table of contents" rel="contents">Contents</a>][<a href="Option-Index.html#Option-Index" title="Index" rel="index">Index</a>]</p> +</div> + + + +</body> +</html> |
