I won’t argue. > For the former, see Fortran 95, section 4.5. > > -- > steve Are you referring to (a) An empty sequence forms a zero-sized rank-one array. (b) The type and type parameters of an array constructor are those of the ac-value expressions. (c) something else? For (a) gfortran accepts zero-sized rank-one array with a type as shown by the instances in the added test. AFAIU (b), it implicitly rules out a zero-sized rank-one array without a type, which is rejected by gfortran (if not what is the type of ‘[ ]’ and what should be the result of SUM([ ])?). Note that I see NOTE 4.73 Examples of zero-size array constructors are: [ INTEGER :: ] in my copy of the f2015 draft. Note that the patch is not mine but has been submitted by Tobias Burnus more than five years ago. It does not change any gfortran functionality and is only intended to help the end user. I have no intention to fight for this patch. If you think it is really irrelevant, please close the PR according your taste. Dominique
