"12.3.1 Characteristics of procedures The characteristics of a procedure are the classification of the procedure as a function or subroutine, whether it is pure, whether it is elemental, whether it has the BIND attribute, the characteristics of its dummy arguments, ..." "12.3.2.2 Characteristics of dummy data objects The characteristics of a dummy data object are its type, its type parameters (if any), its shape, ... If a shape, size, or type parameter is assumed or deferred, it is a characteristic." Combining the three statements above, F08 clearly demands that the *shape* of the argument should be the same (meaning that the bounds themselves may differ). "1.3.128 shape array dimensionality of a data entity, represented as a rank-one array whose size is the rank of the data entity and whose elements are the extents of the data entity" So I would conclude that: * comment #0 is invalid (as well as the original c.l.f. example) * comment #2 is valid (ifort's check seems to be too strict)
