--- Comment #2 from Yao Liu <yao....@compiler-dev.com> --- (In reply to Tobias Burnus from comment #1) > The following restriction of F2003 is also gone: > > C528 (R501) If the VALUE attribute is specified, the length type parameter > values shall be omitted or specified by initialization expressions. > > F2008 + F2018 permit them. > > Implementation choice (for characters and arrays): One can pass those with > known bounds as ARRAY_TYPE (i.e. by value) or one passes them as a pointer > to an ARRAY_TYPE (i.e. by reference). > > Currently, for character they are passed by value as (known string-length) > ARRAY_TYPE. F2008: C557 An entity with the VALUE attribute shall be a dummy data object that is not an assumed-size array or a coarray, and does not have a coarray ultimate component. I have a question: like "character(*)" or "demension(::)", it's a assumed-size character or array, is this situation premitted in F2008？ (In reply to Tobias Burnus from comment #1) > The following restriction of F2003 is also gone: > > C528 (R501) If the VALUE attribute is specified, the length type parameter > values shall be omitted or specified by initialization expressions. > > F2008 + F2018 permit them. > > Implementation choice (for characters and arrays): One can pass those with > known bounds as ARRAY_TYPE (i.e. by value) or one passes them as a pointer > to an ARRAY_TYPE (i.e. by reference). > > Currently, for character they are passed by value as (known string-length) > ARRAY_TYPE.
