Fortran's findloc with character type












3















I'm confused by the findloc intrinsic with a character array.
The program



print *, findloc(['AB'],'A',dim=1)
end


outputs



           1


while I expected 0.



I thought that findloc searched for equality, and 'A' /= 'AB'.
If I make the scalar value of equal type as the array, then I do get what I expected: findloc(['AB'],'A ',dim=1) gives 0.



Note that findloc(['BA'],'A',dim=1) does give 0, so I don't think that findloc uses the index function.



I'm using ifort 18.0.3 on centos 7.

  • Yes, I used ifort -O0 -stand f08 -warn all -check all. And findloc is Fortran 2008, so I'd be surprised if their implementation is old. Besides, I thought that this behavior would be standardized.

  • Can you try with 19.0.1?

  • No, unfortunately not. And my version of gfortran is way too old.

    Its just a compiler bug. You can report such things at supporttickets.intel.com.

    @francescalus I tested this with Intel Fortran Compiler 2019, and the bug persists.

  • So it's possible to write a 28-byte full program that triggers a bug: print*,findloc(['A'],'');end. That must be some sort of record. But these things happen, and Fortran's characters are probably not the easiest to deal with. Thank you for letting us know.
