The state of play for standard conformance
for the currently available compilers can be found 
in our compiler table in Fortran Forum, and then
on our Fortranplus web site.

Jane and I had no idea the table would have this lifespan.

Cray supports 2003 and 2008.

IBM supports 2003.

The rest is a mish mash.

Jane and I will be sending out requests for updates for the 
August edition of Fortran Forum shortly.

Cheers

Ian Chivers

I'll poke at it some more.

since this is intrinsic assignment. I had been staring at the defined

But which standard? The Intel Fortran XE 13.1 documentation under Language
Standards Conformance says it supports all of f95, most of
f2003 and some of f2008, but I haven't been able to find a list of the
missing f2003 features. That may of course be my fault. On the other hand
the documentation of XE 13.1 standard-semantics says it enables all of the
options that implement the current Fortran Standard behavior of the
compiler, which is Fortran 2003 with some Fortran 2008 features.
That would seem to imply that all of f2003 is supported. I am confused by
this discrepancy between 2 places in the Intel documnetation for the same
version of the same compiler.
