(j3.2006) Generic resolution of assumed-size dummy

[Daniel C Chen]

Hello,

Consider the following code:

module checktest

interface check
  module procedure checki1, checki2
end interface

contains

subroutine checki1(ia1)
  integer*1, dimension(*) :: ia1
end subroutine checki1

subroutine checki2(ia1)
  integer*2, dimension(*) :: ia1
end subroutine checki2

subroutine checki3(ia1)
  integer*2, dimension(4,*) :: ia1
end subroutine checki3

subroutine checki4(ia1)
  integer*2, dimension(4,4,4) :: ia1
end subroutine checki4
end module checktest

program main
use checktest

integer*2, dimension(10,5) :: ia1
integer*2, dimension(4,4,4) :: ia2

call check(ia1)
Call check(ia2)

end program main

While we allow assumed-size dummy argument of a specific procedure
correspond to an array actual argument of any rank, it seems we don't allow
it for generic procedure.

In the standard, we have:
12.4.3.5.5
"A dummy argument is type, kind, and rank compatible, or TKR compatible,
with another dummy argument if the first is type compatible with the
second, the kind type parameters of the first have the same values as the
corresponding kind type parameters of the second, and both have the same
rank or either is assumed-rank.
...
Two dummy arguments are distinguishable if
...
they are both data objects or known to be functions, and neither is TKR
compatible with the other,
..
"

1. It seems ia1 of checki2, checki3 and checki4 are distinguishable
according to the standard I quoted at the above because they have different
ranks, Is this expected?

2. If 1 is expected, should call check(ia1) resolves to checki3 and call
check(ia2) resolves to checki4? If so, it seems contradict to the sequence
association rule.


Thanks,

Daniel
