Description albertm@uphs.upenn.edu 2005-11-30 01:43:07 UTC 
gfortran seems to ignore explicit return types of functions.

Example follows:
-----------------------------bug.for--------------------------------
      PROGRAM BUG
      external real function Mfunc
      real*4 X,Y

      X = Xfunc()
      Y = Mfunc()
      write(6,*) X,Y
      stop
      end

      real function Xfunc()
      Xfunc = 17.232
      return 
      end

      real function Mfunc()
      Mfunc = 17.232
      return 
      end
-----------------------------bug.for------------------------------
When run, this gives:
   17.23200      1.0995535E+09
STOP 0

Compilation was:
[...]/gfortran -Wall -o bug bug.for -L[...]/lib64 \
            -Wl,-rpath,[...]/lib64
(Long path names replaced with [...]).

As usual, thank you very much.  The gcc collection is a wonderful
tool.

This declares an external symbol called
"realfunctionmfunc" (fixed form), which is
probably not what you intended.

If you replace that line by

      real Mfunc
      external Mfunc

things work.  If you try to compile this in free form
(extension .f95), you get a syntax error.

I'm resolving this as "invalid".  Feel free to re-open it
if you believe that I haven't addressed the issue correctly.

Thank you very much.  My apologies.  I don't understand Fortran as
well as I should.

Sincerely,
 Mike Albert
