@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.

There are several cases:
@table @asis
@item (A) If the optional @var{TGT} is not present, then @code{ASSOCIATED(PTR)}
is true if @var{PTR} is associated with a target; otherwise, it returns false.
@item (B) If @var{TGT} is present and a scalar target, the result is true if
@var{TGT}
is not a 0 sized storage sequence and the target associated with @var{PTR}
occupies the same storage units.  If @var{PTR} is disassociated, then the 
result is false.
@item (C) If @var{TGT} is present and an array target, the result is true if
@var{TGT} and @var{PTR} have the same shape, are not 0 sized arrays, are
arrays whose elements are not 0 sized storage sequences, and @var{TGT} and
@var{PTR} occupy the same storage units in array element order.
As in case(B), the result is false, if @var{PTR} is disassociated.
@item (D) If @var{TGT} is present and an scalar pointer, the result is true if
target associated with @var{PTR} and the target associated with @var{TGT}
are not 0 sized storage sequences and occupy the same storage units.
The result is false, if either @var{TGT} or @var{PTR} is disassociated.
@item (E) If @var{TGT} is present and an array pointer, the result is true if
target associated with @var{PTR} and the target associated with @var{TGT}
have the same shape, are not 0 sized arrays, are arrays whose elements are
not 0 sized storage sequences, and @var{TGT} and @var{PTR} occupy the same

returns the user and system components of this time in @code{TARRAY(1)} and
@code{TARRAY(2)} respectively. @var{RESULT} is equal to @code{TARRAY(1) +

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.

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

@var{TARRAY} and @var{RESULT} are @code{INTENT(OUT)} and provide the following:

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{TARRAY} and @var{RESULT} are @code{INTENT(OUT)} and provide the following:

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

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

the values returned by this intrinsic might be, or become, negative, or
numerically less than previous values, during a single run of the

Returns the number of clock ticks since the start of the process, based
on the UNIX function @code{clock(3)}.

@emph{Warning:} this intrinsic does not increase the range of the timing
values over that returned by @code{clock(3)}. On a system with a 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
returned by this intrinsic might be or become negative or numerically
less than previous values during a single run of the compiled program.

@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.

@section @code{TIME8} --- Time function (64-bit)
@fnindex TIME8
@cindex time, current
@cindex current time

@table @asis
@item @emph{Description}:
Returns the current time encoded as an integer (in the manner of the
UNIX function @code{time(3)}). This value is suitable for passing to
@code{CTIME()}, @code{GMTIME()}, and @code{LTIME()}.

@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
returned by this intrinsic might be or become negative or numerically
less than previous values during a single run of the compiled program.

@item @emph{Standard}:
GNU extension

@item @emph{Class}:
Function

@item @emph{Syntax}:
@code{RESULT = TIME8()}

@item @emph{Return value}:
The return value is a scalar of type @code{INTEGER(8)}.

@node TRANSFER
@section @code{TRANSFER} --- Transfer bit patterns
@fnindex TRANSFER
@cindex bits, move
@cindex type cast

@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 @emph{Standard}:
Fortran 95 and later

@item @emph{Class}:
Transformational function

@item @emph{Syntax}:
@code{RESULT = TRANSFER(SOURCE, MOLD[, SIZE])}

@item @emph{Arguments}:
@multitable @columnfractions .15 .70
@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}:
@smallexample
PROGRAM test_transfer
  integer :: x = 2143289344
  print *, transfer(x, 1.0)    ! prints "NaN" on i686

@var{KIND} is absent, the return value is of default integer kind.
If @var{DIM} is absent, the result is an array of the upper bounds of
@var{ARRAY}.  If @var{DIM} is present, the result is a scalar
corresponding to the upper bound of the array along that dimension.  If
@var{ARRAY} is an expression rather than a whole array or array
structure component, or if it has a zero extent along the relevant
dimension, the upper bound is taken to be the number of elements along
the relevant dimension.
