All, Here I propose a new warning flag -Wargument-mismatch to control warnings emitted when the type, rank, or some other property of actual arguments does not match that of a function's formal parameters according to its declaration or interface specification. The warnings are of course enabled by default, as they should be. Note also with -Wno-argument-mismatch, only _warnings_ are suppressed. In such cases where an argument mismatch is an error, the error is still properly emitted.
This simple patch depends on the recently-submitted patch [1] "Allow warnings given through gfc_error to associate with warning flags". Since the argument mismatch warnings are sometimes errors, they are currently emitted through gfc_error with `warnings_not_errors` set. Without the solution in [1], awkward code changes may be required to work around this fact. The new flag is supplied for the benefit of those users which believe that suppression of any given warning generated by a compiler should be possible. Such users may be frustrated with the current GNU Fortran front-end, in which there is no way to suppress this class of warnings, even if the user "knows what he is doing" and refuses to change his/her code.
