Fortran 2003 defines the PROTECTED attribute for variables in modules. Example:
-----------------------------------
MODULE temperature
REAL,PROTECTED :: temp
CONTAINS
SUBROUTINE set_temperature
temp = 0.0
END SUBROUTINE
END MODULE
use temperature
call set_temperature
print *, temp
temp = 42
end
-----------------------------------
The compiler should issue an error message on that code (temp cannot be modified
from outside the module) but the code should compile fine without the "temp =
42" line.
The only compiler I know that behaves correctly right now is IBM's.
