--- Comment #1 from Rimvydas (RJ) <rimvydas.jas at gmail dot com> --- On side note the gfortran -fc-prototypes-external do suggest (as documentation for gfortran v8 and newer) to use size_t type for hidden character array lengths that are passed by value instead of usual by reference. Could gfortran frontend emit to use 'size_t' or even __SIZE_TYPE__ internal type so to avoid inclusion of <stddef.h> ?
