(j3.2006) Are functions in intrinsic modules "intrinsic"?

Thanks to Malcolm for pointing out the assumed-size problem.

The prohibition of assumed-rank arguments to C_SIZEOF is part of a Constraint, so compilers are required to produce a diagnostic for violations. We usually issue ERROR level messages for constraint violations,  although I suppose WARNING would satisfy the requirements of the standard. Does gfortran produce a message?  How does GCC handle the assumed-size problem?

Cheers,
