Fortran 2003 (and Earlier) Support

As of compiler version 16.0 (Intel® Parallel Studio XE 2016), the Intel® Fortran Compiler Classic is fully compliant with the ISO/IEC 1539-1:2004 Fortran language standard (Fortran 2003 Language). Intel Fortran also fully supports programs that conform to the earlier standards Fortran 95, Fortran 90, FORTRAN 77 and FORTRAN IV (FORTRAN 66.) In some cases, compiler options may need to be specified to enable support of behavior that was different in earlier versions of the Fortran standard. 

Fortran 2008 Support

The Intel Fortran Compiler Classic supports all features from the Fortran 2008 standard. 

Fortran 2018 Support

 The Intel Fortran Compiler Classic now supports all features from the Fortran 2018 standard. 

Additional Information

The following Fortran 2018 features are also supported:

  • Enhancements to the IMPLICIT NONE statement allow specifying that all external procedures must be declared as EXTERNAL.

  • Enhancements to the GENERIC statement permit it to be used to declare generic interfaces.

  • You can now specify locality for variables in a DO CONCURRENT statement.

  • Enhancements to edit descriptor forms E and D, EN, ES, and G allow a field width of zero, analogous to the F edit descriptor.

  • The exponent width e in a data edit descriptor can now be zero, analogous to a field width of zero.

  • The RN edit descriptor now rounds to nearest as specified by Fortran 2018 and ISO/IEC/IEEE 60559:2011.

  • The EX edit descriptor allows for hexadecimal format output of floating-point values, and hexadecimal format floating-point values are allowed on input.

  • SIZE= can be specified for non-advancing I/O.

  • The values for SIZE= and POS= in an INQUIRE statement for pending asynchronous operations have been standardized.

  • The value assigned to the RECL= specifier in an INQUIRE statement now has standardized values.

  • A new form of the intrinsic function CMPLX does not require the KIND= keyword if the first argument is type COMPLEX.

  • The named constants STAT_FAILED_IMAGE and STAT_UNLOCKED_FAILED_IMAGE have been defined in the intrinsic ISO_FORTRAN_ENV modules.

  • The named constant kind type C_PTRDIFF_T has been added to the intrinsic module ISO_C_BINDING.

  • The non-block DO statement and the arithmetic IF statement are now deleted in Fortran 2018. Intel® Fortran fully supports features deleted in the Fortran Standard.

  • COMMON, EQUIVALENCE and BLOCKDATA statements are now obsolescent.

  • The labeled form of a DO loop is now obsolescent.

  • Specific names of intrinsic procedures are now obsolescent.

  • The following atomic subroutines have been implemented: ATOMIC_ADDATOMIC_ANDATOMIC_CASATOMIC_FETCH_ADDATOMIC_FETCH_ANDATOMIC_FETCH_ORATOMIC_FETCH_XORATOMIC_OR, and ATOMIC_XOR.

  • The following collective subroutines have been implemented: CO_BROADCASTCO_MAXCO_MINCO_REDUCE, and CO_SUM.

  • The SELECT RANK construct has been implemented allowing manipulation of assumed rank dummy arguments..

  • The compiler will now diagnose the use of nonstandard intrinsic procedures and modules as required by Fortran 2018.

  • To comply with the latest Fortran 2018 standards, C_F_PROCPOINTER is now IMPURE.

  • Transformational intrinsic functions from the intrinsic modules ISO_C_BINDING, IEEE_ARITHMETIC, and IEEE_EXCEPTIONS are now allowed in specification expressions.

  • You can now specify optional argument RADIX for the IEEE_GET_ROUNDING_MODE and IEEE_SET_ROUNDING_MODE intrinsic module procedures.

  • IEEE_ROUND_TYPE and IEEE_AWAY have been added to the IEEE_ARITHMETIC intrinsic module.

  • The optional ROUND argument has been added to the IEEE_RINT function defined in the intrinsic module IEEE_ARITHMETIC.

  • The intrinsic module IEEE_ARITHMETIC now includes the functions IEEE_FMAIEEE_SIGNBITIEEE_NEXT_UP, and IEEE_NEXT_DOWN.

  • The intrinsic module IEEE_EXCEPTIONS now contains a new derived type, IEEE_MODES_TYPE, which can be used to save and restore the IEEE_MODES using the IEEE_GET_MODES and the IEEE_SET_MODES intrinsic module procedures.

  • SUBNORMAL is now synonymous with DENORMAL.

  • The following intrinsic module procedures have been implemented:

  • An optional STAT= specifier has been added to ATOMIC_REF and ATOMIC_DEFINE intrinsic procedures.

  • Optional STAT= and ERRMSG= specifiers have been added to the MOVE_ALLOC intrinsic procedure, to image selectors, and to the CRITICAL statement and construct.

  • INTEGER and LOGICAL arguments to intrinsic procedures are no longer required to be of default kind.

  • The FAIL IMAGE statement has been implemented. It allows debugging recovery code for failed images without having to wait for an actual image failure.

  • Intrinsic functions FAILED_IMAGESIMAGE_STATUS, and STOPPED_IMAGES have been implemented, but they do not have full functionality in this release.

    The argument "team" is not yet implemented for these intrinsics. This functionality will be added in a future release.

  • The COSHAPE intrinsic function

    Returns the cobounds of a coarray argument.

  • You can now add module names, OpenMP reduction identifiers, and defined I/O generic specs to PUBLIC and PRIVATE statements.

  • Features to provide synchronization capabilities between images:

    The EVENT_QUERY intrinsic subroutine

    The EVENT_POST and EVENT_WAIT statements

    The derived type EVENT_TYPE in the ISO_FORTRAN_ENV intrinsic module

  • Enhancements to the IMPORT statement

    The IMPORT statement can now be used in internal subprograms and BLOCK constructs to control host association. There are three new forms:

    IMPORT, ALL

    IMPORT, NONE

    IMPORT, ONLY: 

    import-name-list

  • Default accessibility of module entities

    A module name that is accessed via used association can appear in a PUBLIC or PRIVATE 

    access-id-list 

    . It can be used to set the default accessibility for all accessible entities from that module.
  • C language interoperability

    An assumed-rank array is now permitted to be an argument to the C_SIZEOF intrinsic function.

    With the exception of C_F_POINTER, all standard procedures in the ISO_C_BINDING intrinsic module are now PURE.

  • Enhancement to the NON_RECURSIVE keyword

    This keyword allows procedures to be declared as not recursive. The default in previous Fortran standards was that procedures were non-recursive unless declared RECURSIVE. Fortran 2018 changes that default. Intel® Fortran has implemented the NON_RECURSIVE keyword, but the default compilation mode for this release remains non-recursive. This will change in a future release.

  • I/O enhancement

    The G0.d edit descriptor can be used to specify the output of integer, logical, and character data, using the rules for I0, L1, and A edit descriptors, respectively.

  • Further Interoperability of Fortran with C, including assumed-type, assumed-rank, C descriptors, and the RANK intrinsic.

  • The ERROR STOP statement is allowed in PURE procedures

The single option /standard-semantics (Windows*) or -standard-semantics (Linux* and macOS*) can be used to set all options required to obtain full Fortran 2018 semantics. If using the IEEE_ARITHMETIC, IEEE_EXCEPTIONS or IEEE_FEATURES intrinsic modules, /fp:strict (Windows) or -fp-model strict (Linux and macOS) must also be specified.
