The following program fails with: Error: transformational intrinsic 'sum' at (1) is not permitted in an initialization expression
I think it is valid Fortran 2003 per "7.1.7 Initialization expression": "(5) A reference to a transformational standard intrinsic function other than NULL, where each argument is an initialization expression" Note: Fortran 95 7.1.7.1 the program is invalid (only few transformational functions are allowed). Found by James Van Buskirk: http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.fortran/msg/2119be02dcf93517 integer, parameter :: a = sum([1,2]) print *, a end -- Summary: Tranformational function SUM rejected in initialization expressions Product: gcc Version: 4.4.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: fortran AssignedTo: unassigned at gcc dot gnu dot org ReportedBy: burnus at gcc dot gnu dot org http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=38205
