Norman & Tim (mostly),
just an update on what I've done with these tests. I've added them all to
the MAIN branch and documented them in autoconf.texi and SSN/078. We
should probably let these get some use before committing to the
development branch (and I should be doing other things).
One problem is with the AC_FC_HAVE_TYPELESS_BOZ test. This needs to run a
program, rather than just see if the compiler is happy, as it turns out
that you really need to test the actual values created by the BOZ
assignment (gfortran is the culprit, that does the assignments, but they
are wrong, in fact being just integer casts).
Anyway that means this test must return a status code to the environment,
so it makes a non-standard call to EXIT(1), must be a problem for your
patches (and the idea in general of having runnable Fortran tests). Any
comments on this?
Cheers,
Peter.
