kargl at gcc dot gnu.org changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |kargl at gcc dot gnu.org --- Comment #1 from kargl at gcc dot gnu.org --- Looks like a bug in the program (and more importantly a bug and/or processor-dependent behavior in ifort). !! Unformatted I/O is faster in ifort under linux. close(input_unit) open(unit=input_unit,access='stream',form='unformatted') You've closed the input_unit. The standard states: The CLOSE statement is used to terminate the connection of a specified unit to an external file. You then open a new file and associate that new file with input_unit. You'll find that you have a file named 'fort.5' and it has, surprise, a size of 0. program foo use iso_fortran_env integer fd,sz real x fd=10 open(unit=fd, file='tmp.dat', access='stream') do i = 1, 100 call random_number(x) write(fd) x end do close(fd) open(unit=fd, file='tmp.dat', access='stream') inquire(unit=fd,size=sz) print *, sz close(fd) open(unit=fd, access='stream') inquire(unit=fd,size=sz) print *, sz close(input_unit) open(unit=input_unit, access='stream') inquire(unit=input_unit,size=sz) print *, sz close(input_unit) end program troutmask:sgk[239] rm fort.* troutmask:sgk[240] gfc4x -o z r.f90 && ./z 512 0 0 troutmask:sgk[241] ls -al fort.* -rw-r--r-- 1 sgk sgk 0 Mar 19 16:14 fort.10 -rw-r--r-- 1 sgk sgk 0 Mar 19 16:14 fort.5
