Intel Fortran Compiler 17.0
Intel has announced the availability of version 17.0 of the Intel Fortran Compiler (part of Intel Parallel Studio XE 2017). Slowly but surely, the compiler is approaching full support for the current Fortran 2008 standard. New Fortran 2008 features added in this release are:
TYPE(intrinsic-type)- Pointer initialization
- Implied-shape
PARAMETERarrays - Extend
EXITstatement to all valid construct names - Support
BIND(C)in internal procedures
In addition, the compiler now also supports the standard auto-reallocation on assignment by default (previously, you had to use a special compiler flag to enable this behavior).
