Description Francois-Xavier Coudert 2006-06-30 13:13:00 UTC 
There are lots of (GNU extensions) intrinsics that are hardcoded as returning integer(kind=4) results, while it would make sense to have them return the default integer type. This is hardcoded both in the front-end (see for example gfc_resolve_getpid in iresolve.c) and the library (where the getpid function is declared as "extern GFC_INTEGER_4 PREFIX(getpid) (void)").
Comment 1 Francois-Xavier Coudert 2007-03-18 18:02:14 UTC 
I take that back. We're working on a more global change for these things, so closing this as INVALID.
