Bug ID: 95640
Summary: gfortran ieee_selected_real_kind returns 10
Product: gcc
Version: 9.3.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: fortran
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: longb at cray dot com
Target Milestone: ---
> cat test.f90
program test
use,intrinsic :: ieee_arithmetic
print *, " selected_real_kind(16) = ", selected_real_kind(16)
print *, "ieee_selected_real_kind(16) = ", ieee_selected_real_kind(16)
end program test
Cray:
> ftn test.f90
> ./a.out
selected_real_kind(16) = 16
ieee_selected_real_kind(16) = 16
Intel:
> module swap PrgEnv-cray PrgEnv-intel
> ifort test.f90
> ./a.out
selected_real_kind(16) = 16
ieee_selected_real_kind(16) = 16
Gfortran:
> module swap PrgEnv-intel PrgEnv-gnu
> gfortran test.f90
> ./a.out
selected_real_kind(16) = 10
ieee_selected_real_kind(16) = 10
The output from gfortran is problematic because ieee_selected_real_kind should
not return 10. If the users want KIND=10 (i.e. the Intel-proprietary 80-bit
x87 floats), then they need to use selected_real_kind and not the IEEE version.
