Hi all,

I have another question about INTENT attributes.  Are they part of the visible interface of a subroutine or are they only visible inside the subroutine?  I'm asking this to understand if adding INTENT(IN) to a dummy argument of an existing subroutine is a breaking change or not.

Who would I find this in the standard document or other attributes?

15.3.1 says the characteristics of a procedure include the characteristics of its dummy arguments. 15.3.2.2 says the characteristics of dummy data objects include their intent.


Kind regards,
