gfortran 4.4 allows 15 instead of 7 dimensions, however, it has some problems with that:
gfortran -std=f95 -Wall -pedantic should print a message for: integer,parameter :: N=10 complex,dimension(-N:N,-N:N,0:1,0:1,-N:N,-N:N,0:1,0:1) :: P end But it does not. This seems to be an off-by-one error as for 9 dimensions an error is printed: Error: Fortran 2008: Array specification at (1) with more than 7 dimensions * * * More seriously, adding a PRINT causes an IDE: a.f90:1: internal compiler error: in gfc_get_dtype, at fortran/trans-types.c:1254 integer,parameter :: N=10 complex,dimension(-N:N,-N:N,0:1,0:1,-N:N,-N:N,0:1,0:1) :: P print *, p end -- Summary: Problems with dimensions > 7 Product: gcc Version: 4.4.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Keywords: ice-on-valid-code, diagnostic Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: fortran AssignedTo: unassigned at gcc dot gnu dot org ReportedBy: burnus at gcc dot gnu dot org http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=36825
