Re: Exit code with Fortran 90

I see that this happen compiling when I use the GNU Fortran compiler (gfortran).

Is this behaviour standard, or it is a special behaviour of gfortran?

As Dan says, it is not required by the Fortran Standard per se.
However the POSIX Fortran Binding (1003.9-1992) does specify this
behavior (for small integer values.) As desirable as the feature
is, some compilers do it and some don't.
