@node Introduction to Intrinsics
@section Introduction to intrinsic procedures

The intrinsic procedures provided by GNU Fortran include all of the
intrinsic procedures required by the Fortran 95 standard, a set of
intrinsic procedures for backwards compatibility with G77, and a
selection of intrinsic procedures from the Fortran 2003 and Fortran 2008
standards.  Any conflict between a description here and a description in
either the Fortran 95 standard, the Fortran 2003 standard or the Fortran
2008 standard is unintentional, and the standard(s) should be considered
authoritative.

The enumeration of the @code{KIND} type parameter is processor defined in
the Fortran 95 standard.  GNU Fortran defines the default integer type and
default real type by @code{INTEGER(KIND=4)} and @code{REAL(KIND=4)},
respectively.  The standard mandates that both data types shall have
another kind, which have more precision.  On typical target architectures
supported by @command{gfortran}, this kind type parameter is @code{KIND=8}.
Hence, @code{REAL(KIND=8)} and @code{DOUBLE PRECISION} are equivalent.
In the description of generic intrinsic procedures, the kind type parameter
will be specified by @code{KIND=*}, and in the description of specific
names for an intrinsic procedure the kind type parameter will be explicitly
given (e.g., @code{REAL(KIND=4)} or @code{REAL(KIND=8)}).  Finally, for
brevity the optional @code{KIND=} syntax will be omitted.

Many of the intrinsic procedures take one or more optional arguments.
This document follows the convention used in the Fortran 95 standard,
and denotes such arguments by square brackets.

GNU Fortran offers the @option{-std=f95} and @option{-std=gnu} options,
which can be used to restrict the set of intrinsic procedures to a 
given standard.  By default, @command{gfortran} sets the @option{-std=gnu}
option, and so all intrinsic procedures described here are accepted.  There
is one caveat.  For a select group of intrinsic procedures, @command{g77}
implemented both a function and a subroutine.  Both classes 
have been implemented in @command{gfortran} for backwards compatibility
with @command{g77}.  It is noted here that these functions and subroutines
cannot be intermixed in a given subprogram.  In the descriptions that follow,
the applicable standard for each intrinsic procedure is noted.

@cindex terminate program, with core dump
@cindex core, dump

@table @asis
@item @emph{Description}:
@code{ABORT} causes immediate termination of the program.  On operating
systems that support a core dump, @code{ABORT} will produce a core dump even if
the option @option{-fno-dump-core} is in effect, which is suitable for debugging
purposes.
@c TODO: Check if this (with -fno-dump-core) is correct.

@item @emph{Standard}:
GNU extension

@item @emph{Class}:
Subroutine

@item @emph{Syntax}:
@code{CALL ABORT}

@item @emph{Return value}:
Does not return.

@item @emph{Example}:

@table @asis
@item @emph{Description}:
Returns a @code{REAL} value representing the elapsed CPU time in
seconds.  This is useful for testing segments of code to determine
execution time.

If a time source is available, time will be reported with microsecond
resolution. If no time source is available, @var{TIME} is set to
@code{-1.0}.

Note that @var{TIME} may contain a, system dependent, arbitrary offset
and may not start with @code{0.0}. For @code{CPU_TIME}, the absolute
value is meaningless, only differences between subsequent calls to
this subroutine, as shown in the example below, should be used.

Subsequent invocations of @code{DTIME} return values accumulated since the
previous invocation.

On some systems, the underlying timings are represented using types with
sufficiently small limits that overflows (wrap around) are possible, such as
32-bit types. Therefore, the values returned by this intrinsic might be, or
become, negative, or numerically less than previous values, during a single
run of the compiled program.

Please note, that this implementation is thread safe if used within OpenMP
directives, i.e., its state will be consistent while called from multiple
threads. However, if @code{DTIME} is called from multiple threads, the result
is still the time since the last invocation. This may not give the intended
results. If possible, use @code{CPU_TIME} instead.

@table @asis
@item @emph{Description}:
@code{ETIME(VALUES, TIME)} returns the number of seconds of runtime
since the start of the process's execution in @var{TIME}.  @var{VALUES}
returns the user and system components of this time in @code{VALUES(1)} and
@code{VALUES(2)} respectively. @var{TIME} is equal to @code{VALUES(1) + VALUES(2)}.

On some systems, the underlying timings are represented using types with
sufficiently small limits that overflows (wrap around) are possible, such as
32-bit types. Therefore, the values returned by this intrinsic might be, or
become, negative, or numerically less than previous values, during a single
run of the compiled program.

This intrinsic is provided in both subroutine and function forms; however,
only one form can be used in any given program unit.

@var{VALUES} and @var{TIME} are @code{INTENT(OUT)} and provide the following:

@multitable @columnfractions .15 .30 .60
@item @tab @code{VALUES(1)}: @tab User time in seconds.

Beginning with the Fortran 2003 standard, there is a @code{FLUSH}
statement that should be preferred over the @code{FLUSH} intrinsic.

The @code{FLUSH} intrinsic and the Fortran 2003 @code{FLUSH} statement
have identical effect: they flush the runtime library's I/O buffer so
that the data becomes visible to other processes. This does not guarantee
that the data is committed to disk.

On POSIX systems, you can request that all data is transferred  to  the
storage device by calling the @code{fsync} function, with the POSIX file
descriptor of the I/O unit as argument (retrieved with GNU intrinsic
@code{FNUM}). The following example shows how:

@smallexample

      integer(c_int) :: fsync
    end function fsync
  end interface

  ! Variable declaration
  integer :: ret

  ! Opening unit 10
  open (10,file="foo")

  ! ...
  ! Perform I/O on unit 10
  ! ...

@fnindex FSEEK
@cindex file operation, seek
@cindex file operation, position

@table @asis
@item @emph{Description}:
Moves @var{UNIT} to the specified @var{OFFSET}. If @var{WHENCE} 
is set to 0, the @var{OFFSET} is taken as an absolute value @code{SEEK_SET},
if set to 1, @var{OFFSET} is taken to be relative to the current position 
@code{SEEK_CUR}, and if set to 2 relative to the end of the file @code{SEEK_END}.
On error, @var{STATUS} is set to a nonzero value. If @var{STATUS} the seek 
fails silently.

This intrinsic routine is not fully backwards compatible with @command{g77}. 
In @command{g77}, the @code{FSEEK} takes a statement label instead of a 
@var{STATUS} variable. If FSEEK is used in old code, change
@smallexample
  CALL FSEEK(UNIT, OFFSET, WHENCE, *label)
@end smallexample 
to
@smallexample
  INTEGER :: status
  CALL FSEEK(UNIT, OFFSET, WHENCE, status)
  IF (status /= 0) GOTO label
@end smallexample 

Please note that GNU Fortran provides the Fortran 2003 Stream facility.
Programmers should consider the use of new stream IO feature in new code 
for future portability. See also @ref{Fortran 2003 status}.

bits shifted @var{SHIFT} places.  A value of @var{SHIFT} greater than
zero corresponds to a left shift, a value of zero corresponds to no
shift, and a value less than zero corresponds to a right shift.  If the
absolute value of @var{SHIFT} is greater than @code{BIT_SIZE(I)}, the
value is undefined.  Bits shifted out from the left end or right end are
lost; zeros are shifted in from the opposite end.

This intrinsic is not fully portable, such as to systems with 32-bit

@code{clock(3)}, @code{MCLOCK8()} will return a 32-bit value, even though
it is converted to a 64-bit @code{INTEGER(8)} value. That means
overflows of the 32-bit value can still occur. Therefore, the values

@item @emph{Description}:
@code{RAND(FLAG)} returns a pseudo-random number from a uniform

in the current sequence is returned; if @var{FLAG} is 1, the generator
is restarted by @code{CALL SRAND(0)}; if @var{FLAG} has any other value,
it is used as a new seed with @code{SRAND}.

This intrinsic routine is provided for backwards compatibility with
GNU Fortran 77. It implements a simple modulo generator as provided 
by @command{g77}. For new code, one should consider the use of 
@ref{RANDOM_NUMBER} as it implements a superior algorithm.

@node RANDOM_NUMBER
@section @code{RANDOM_NUMBER} --- Pseudo-random number

@cindex random number generation

@table @asis
@item @emph{Description}:
Returns a single pseudorandom number or an array of pseudorandom numbers
from the uniform distribution over the range @math{ 0 \leq x < 1}.

The runtime-library implements George Marsaglia's KISS (Keep It Simple 
Stupid) random number generator (RNG). This RNG combines:
@enumerate
@item The congruential generator @math{x(n) = 69069 \cdot x(n-1) + 1327217885}
with a period of @math{2^{32}},
@item A 3-shift shift-register generator with a period of @math{2^{32} - 1},
@item  Two 16-bit multiply-with-carry generators with a period of
@math{597273182964842497 > 2^{59}}.
@end enumerate
The overall period exceeds @math{2^{123}}.

Please note, this RNG is thread safe if used within OpenMP directives,
i.e., its state will be consistent while called from multiple threads.
However, the KISS generator does not create random numbers in parallel 
from multiple sources, but in sequence from a single source. If an
OpenMP-enabled application heavily relies on random numbers, one should 
consider employing a dedicated parallel random number generator instead.

This intrinsic is not fully portable, such as to systems with 32-bit

@emph{Warning:} this intrinsic does not increase the range of the timing
values over that returned by @code{time(3)}. On a system with a 32-bit
@code{time(3)}, @code{TIME8()} will return a 32-bit value, even though
it is converted to a 64-bit @code{INTEGER(8)} value. That means
overflows of the 32-bit value can still occur. Therefore, the values

@table @asis
@item @emph{Description}:
Interprets the bitwise representation of @var{SOURCE} in memory as if it
is the representation of a variable or array of the same type and type
parameters as @var{MOLD}.

This is approximately equivalent to the C concept of @emph{casting} one
type to another.

@item @var{SOURCE} @tab Shall be a scalar or an array of any type.
@item @var{MOLD}   @tab Shall be a scalar or an array of any type.
@item @var{SIZE}   @tab (Optional) shall be a scalar of type 
@code{INTEGER}.
@end multitable

@item @emph{Return value}:
The result has the same type as @var{MOLD}, with the bit level
representation of @var{SOURCE}.  If @var{SIZE} is present, the result is
a one-dimensional array of length @var{SIZE}.  If @var{SIZE} is absent
but @var{MOLD} is an array (of any size or shape), the result is a one-
dimensional array of the minimum length needed to contain the entirety
of the bitwise representation of @var{SOURCE}.   If @var{SIZE} is absent
and @var{MOLD} is a scalar, the result is a scalar.

If the bitwise representation of the result is longer than that of
@var{SOURCE}, then the leading bits of the result correspond to those of
@var{SOURCE} and any trailing bits are filled arbitrarily.

When the resulting bit representation does not correspond to a valid
representation of a variable of the same type as @var{MOLD}, the results
are undefined, and subsequent operations on the result cannot be
guaranteed to produce sensible behavior.  For example, it is possible to
create @code{LOGICAL} variables for which @code{@var{VAR}} and
@code{.NOT.@var{VAR}} both appear to be true.

@item @emph{Example}:

@item @emph{Description}:
Unlinks the file @var{PATH}. A null character (@code{CHAR(0)}) can be
used to mark the end of the name in @var{PATH}; otherwise, trailing
blanks in the file name are ignored.  If the @var{STATUS} argument is
supplied, it contains 0 on success or a nonzero error code upon return;
see @code{unlink(2)}.

This intrinsic is provided in both subroutine and function forms;
however, only one form can be used in any given program unit.

@table @asis
@item @emph{Description}:
Bitwise logical exclusive or. 

This intrinsic routine is provided for backwards compatibility with 
GNU Fortran 77.  For integer arguments, programmers should consider
the use of the @ref{IEOR} intrinsic and for logical arguments the
@code{.NEQV.} operator, which are both defined by the Fortran standard.

@item @emph{Standard}:
GNU extension

@item @emph{Class}:
Function

@item @emph{Syntax}:
@code{RESULT = XOR(I, J)}

@item @emph{Arguments}:

@item @var{I} @tab The type shall be either  a scalar @code{INTEGER}
type or a scalar @code{LOGICAL} type.
@item @var{J} @tab The type shall be the same as the type of @var{I}.
@end multitable

@item @emph{Return value}:
The return type is either a scalar @code{INTEGER} or a scalar
@code{LOGICAL}.  If the kind type parameters differ, then the
smaller kind type is implicitly converted to larger kind, and the 
return has the larger kind.

@item @emph{Example}:
@smallexample
PROGRAM test_xor
  LOGICAL :: T = .TRUE., F = .FALSE.
  INTEGER :: a, b
  DATA a / Z'F' /, b / Z'3' /

  WRITE (*,*) XOR(T, T), XOR(T, F), XOR(F, T), XOR(F, F)
