I am trying to distinguisch overloaded functions by their result value
but get an error message from ifort 9.1:

The message is correct. Overloaded procedures are disambiguated according to
their arguments ("Fortran 95/2003 Explained", Section 5.18).
Regards,

Being more general (please correct me if I'm wrong...), this is an
example of the rule in Fortran that the RHS of any expression is
evaluated before the LHS is considered. This is why

REAL :: a
a = 1/2

results in a being set equal to zero.
