Re: Logicals converted to integers during reading

Hi,

I'd like to ask, if anybody knows what the standard says about the
conversion of "F", "T", ".f.", and ".t." to integers during reading.
For example:

program test

integer :: a

read(*,*) a
print *, "Value of a: ", a

end program test

The standard says that you can't do that. If you do it, then the
standard doesn't specify what happens. This does not make a compiler
which does the conversion non-conforming.

I'll go on record as saying that I hate this feature too, and keep
lobbying to have it abolished (or at least not the default). My advice
is to file a complaint about the behavior with Intel Premier Support
requesting that the behavior be changed.
