[Bug libfortran/41711] [F2008] BOZ edit-descr does not support reading large kind reals

[burnus at gcc dot gnu dot org]

------- Comment #25 from burnus at gcc dot gnu dot org  2009-12-08 14:25 -------
STATUS:

* Writing large-kind real/complex numbers works (cf. comment 10)
* Reading large-kind real/complex numbers works on systems which have
  INTEGER(16) (cf. comment 24, which added REAL(10) support)
* For the standard, see also comment 15. (Valid F2008, maybe valid in F2003.)

TODO:

* Support reading a BOZ into a REAL(10) or REAL(16) variable on systems
  without INTEGER(16) [such as i686/x86(-32)]

WORKAROUND:

- Use a system which has INTEGER(16) or do the reverse of comment 8: Read the
BOZ into a integer(8) size-2 array and TRANSFER its value then to your real(10)
or real(16) variable.
