Bug #: 52153
Summary: REAL128 gives extended precision, not quad precision
Classification: Unclassified
Product: gcc
Version: 4.7.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: fortran
AssignedTo: unassigned@gcc.gnu.org
ReportedBy: townsend@astro.wisc.edu
The REAL128 parameter defined in ISO_FORTRAN_ENV has the value 10, which
corresponds to extended precision. Should it not have a value 16, corresponding
to quad precision?
As things currently stand, to obtain quad precision reals, I have to use
REAL(16) or REAL*16, which is non-portable; I'd rather use REAL(REAL128).
