Bug ID: 60238 Summary: Allow colon-separated triplet in array initialization Product: gcc Version: 4.9.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: fortran Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: antony at cosmologist dot info Not really a bug, but ifort (and also going back, CVF) allow a clean array initialization sytnax like this integer :: indices(3) indices=[3:5] as an alternative to the ugly indices = (/ (I, I=3, 5) /) Supporting it would allow easier compiler interoperability.
