[Bug fortran/40196] New: F2003: Type parameter inquiry: str%len, a%kind

[burnus at gcc dot gnu dot org]

Type parameter inquiry:

str%len   is equivalent to   len(str)
  a%kind  is equivalent to   kind(a)

The real fun part starts with user-defined kinds, e.g.

type tp(dim)
  integer, KIND :: dim
  real :: dist(dim)
end type tp
type(tp) :: t(5)

print *, t%dist%dim


Quote from F2008 but F2003 should be the same:

"A type parameter inquiry is used to inquire about a type parameter of a data
object. It applies to both intrinsic and derived types.

R616  type-param-inquiry   is   designator % type-param-name

C622 (R616) The type-param-name shall be the name of a type parameter of the
declared type of the object designated by the designator.

A deferred type parameter of a pointer that is not associated or of an
unallocated allocatable variable shall not be inquired about."
