Dear MPIf90 maintainers, I appear to have found a bug with mpif90, running under Centos 7. Essentially any assignment to a byte variable gives a warning or an error. The errors are fatal, and the warnings are too numerous to ignore (I'm getting one warning for each byte that is initialised in a DATA statement, so that can be many thousands of warnings). We have used code like this since 1982 without any problems. When mpif90 is used to compile a simple Fortran source with the -fno-range-check option, any byte assignment in code or data statement will give a warning, eg : *mpif90_bug_report.f:30.13: b1 = 6 1 Warning: Possible change of value in conversion from INTEGER(4) to INTEGER(1) at (1)* This only happens with 'mpif90 -c -fno-range-check'; there is no warning when using gfortran. However, without -fno-range-check, we get other, fatal, errors, so that's even worse : * mpif90_bug_report.f:28.24: byte b2 / '89'X/ 1* * Error: Arithmetic overflow converting INTEGER(16) to INTEGER(1) at (1). This check can be disabled with the option -fno-range-check * I've attached a simple program to replicate the problem (mpif90_bug_report.f) The environment details are :
