I am currently having fun porting code to the NEC SX-6 vector processor. The native compiler on that platform (as well as NEC's cross compiler) does not support INTEGER*1.
It would be useful to have a flag to mimic this behavior by disabling the above mentioned types for declarations, along with the corresponding adjustments to selected_int_kind () at compile time, so that e.g. selected_int_kind (2) == 2 instead of 1. -- Summary: Porting aid: flag to disable BYTE, INTEGER*1 and INTEGER(KIND=1) Product: gcc Version: 4.3.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: enhancement Priority: P3 Component: fortran AssignedTo: unassigned at gcc dot gnu dot org ReportedBy: anlauf at gmx dot de http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=34804
