Hi All, Harald, that is to say the least of it an elegant and minimalist fix. With the patch applied, gfortran behaves like the "other brand" and regtests OK.
Bernhard correctly points out that there should be a comment. Not only this, there must be an F2003 standard check, since F95 forbids over-riding of elemental intrinsics. I see as I am writing that Tobias has dealt with the point about module version. I agree entirely with Tobias. The fact that the patch is permissive in suppressing an incorrect error means that it cannot break anything. This patch, once modified as above, should be pushed to master right immediately and, since it affects F2003 compliance, backported to 10-branch. Many thanks, Harald - good work!
