If I misinterpreted comment #12, please let me know. FWIW, I now realize I did misread comment #12. I focused in on "assert" and didn't notice the type-guarding in write_formatted above it. > > > > I have to confess that this "interpretation" is arrived at by the absence of > > any mention of the need for dynamic dispatch and by the implementation by > > other vendors. The Cray and PGI compilers accept the in the original bug report. The Intel compiler rejects, but I've noticed a lot of problems with UDDTIO in the Intel compiler over the years so I'll submit a bug report to Intel. > > On thinking about it, is the specific instance of write_formatted allowed? I believe not. Note 7.50 of the 31 August 2016 draft Fortran 2015 standard includes the following: "The dynamic type of an object cannot be abstract; therefore, a deferred type-bound procedure cannot be invoked." I interpret the above quote to mean that write_formatted as written in comment #15 cannot be invoked. Presumably that also means it is invalid code. Damian
