With Fortran 77, the great free tool ftnchek assisted in finding these problems and gave a warning that the r.h.s. result was promoted to a variable of higher precision. I am not aware of a similar free tool for Fortran 90. With the gfortran parser in place, this is a good opportunity to fill this gap. On the other hand, there are lots of real bugs waiting to be fixed... ;-) -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=17927
