Bug ID: 82480
Summary: KIND array returned by STAT too small for many values
on CygWin platforms (and probably others)
Product: gcc
Version: 6.4.1
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: fortran

sample output showing bad values in output from STAT(3f)
The GNU extension intrinsic STAT returns an array of INTEGER(KIND=4). On Cygwin
platforms (and others) many of the values such as INODE values can be bigger
than
HUGE(0). A sample program that is basically the example from the STAT man page
is attached with output on a simple text file on my system. Then that output is
compared to output from stat(1) and ls(1) to show that several values such as
the INODE and owner GID are too big to be returned in KIND=4 INTEGER values.
The C descriptions for many of the values on my system, including the POSIX
interface descriptions indicate many of the values being queried can be bigger
than the largest value that can be returned by STAT. Shouldn't STAT be
returning at least 64-bit integers?
