[J3] [EXTERNAL] [BULK] Re: Are procedures from intrinsic modules considered to be ntrinsic procedures?

[Clune, Thomas L. (GSFC-6101)]

Ah – searched on the wrong terms.   Introduction (16.19.1 General) states:


The module procedures described in 16.10.2 are simple.


That covers ISO_FORTRAN_ENV.   The IEEE procedures are bit more varied, but the I’s are mostly dotted.

But now I’m thinking I also just missed the obvious:  These are (intrinsic) module procedures.  And *all* module procedures have explicit interfaces.

The standard seems to be a bit silent on this issue.  I think the answer is “no”, but this begs many related questions:

·         …

The answer is definitely "no". Note how intrinsic procedures and procedures from intrinsic modules are covered separately in places such as what's allowed in constant expressions.

As for the other questions. yes they have explicit interfaces. Most if not all are generic (the IEEE module procedures are called out as generic in 17.11.1,for example.)
