------- Comment #11 from burnus at gcc dot gnu dot org 2008-02-06 09:09 ------- > Is the correct thing to throw an error or to quietly do the conversion? I tried the example (with integer(4) and integer(8)) with several compilers and none of them gave an error. (With -Wall g95 gives a conversion warning).
I thus think it is valid and one should do the conversion silently (except for -Wconversion). >From the Fortran 2003 standard: "For a nonpointer component, the declared type and type parameters of the component and expr shall conform in the same way as for a variable and expr in an intrinsic assignment statement (7.4.1.2), as specified in Table 7.8." -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=34143
