------- Comment #3 from burnus at gcc dot gnu dot org 2008-07-28 11:21 ------- > Why a run-time check? Because the shape might not be known at compile time? And a compile-time check because compile-time checks are nicer ;-)
> AFAIK, we can always determine the rank at runtime Yes, the RANK should be known (even) at compile time, but the SHAPE might be only be known at run time. (Shape = how many elements per dimension; rank = number of dimensions.) (By the way, the rank is already checked.) -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=36874
