- <h3 class="section">9.1 Introduction to intrinsic procedures</h3>
- <p>The intrinsic procedures provided by GNU Fortran include all of the
- intrinsic procedures required by the Fortran 95 standard, a set of
- intrinsic procedures for backwards compatibility with G77, and a
- selection of intrinsic procedures from the Fortran 2003 and Fortran 2008
- standards. Any conflict between a description here and a description in
- either the Fortran 95 standard, the Fortran 2003 standard or the Fortran
- 2008 standard is unintentional, and the standard(s) should be considered
- authoritative.
- </p>
- <p>The enumeration of the <code>KIND</code> type parameter is processor defined in
- the Fortran 95 standard. GNU Fortran defines the default integer type and
- default real type by <code>INTEGER(KIND=4)</code> and <code>REAL(KIND=4)</code>,
- respectively. The standard mandates that both data types shall have
- another kind, which have more precision. On typical target architectures
- supported by <code>gfortran</code>, this kind type parameter is <code>KIND=8</code>.
- Hence, <code>REAL(KIND=8)</code> and <code>DOUBLE PRECISION</code> are equivalent.
- In the description of generic intrinsic procedures, the kind type parameter
- will be specified by <code>KIND=*</code>, and in the description of specific
- names for an intrinsic procedure the kind type parameter will be explicitly
- given (e.g., <code>REAL(KIND=4)</code> or <code>REAL(KIND=8)</code>). Finally, for
- brevity the optional <code>KIND=</code> syntax will be omitted.
- </p>
- <p>Many of the intrinsic procedures take one or more optional arguments.
- This document follows the convention used in the Fortran 95 standard,
- and denotes such arguments by square brackets.
- </p>
- <p>GNU Fortran offers the <samp>-std=f95</samp> and <samp>-std=gnu</samp> options,
- which can be used to restrict the set of intrinsic procedures to a
- given standard. By default, <code>gfortran</code> sets the <samp>-std=gnu</samp>
- option, and so all intrinsic procedures described here are accepted. There
- is one caveat. For a select group of intrinsic procedures, <code>g77</code>
- implemented both a function and a subroutine. Both classes
- have been implemented in <code>gfortran</code> for backwards compatibility
- with <code>g77</code>. It is noted here that these functions and subroutines
- cannot be intermixed in a given subprogram. In the descriptions that follow,
- the applicable standard for each intrinsic procedure is noted.
