Neil Carlson asked: >Two questions about the IBITS intrinsic (F95): > >1) Is it required that the POS and LEN arguments be of the same > integer kind as the main integer argument I? The books I have No. The standard does not require this, it allows them to be of any kind. >2) Is a compiler required to catch an incorrect call to an intrinsic > when the actual argument types/kinds don't match what is allowed? No. These requirements are not constraints.
