------- Comment #3 from burnus at gcc dot gnu dot org 2008-11-20 15:52 ------- Other compilers have the SHARE= specifier for OPEN and INQUIRE, e.g. Intel or HP. I'm not sure it is needed, but one could consider supporting it as well when implementing this option.
http://www.intel.com/software/products/compilers/docs/flin/main_for/lref_for/source_files/rflioop.htm I think Fortran 2008 does not allow to such access which makes it a non-issue in terms of the standard, including for coarrays, but still this is a not so rarely requested feature. (But one has to be careful as a user otherwise the program might read/write garbage.) -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=25830
