@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 small
selection of intrinsic procedures from the Fortran 2003 standard.  Any
conflict between a description here and a description in either the
Fortran 95 standard or the Fortran 2003 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.

then all complete rank one sections of @var{ARRAY} along the given dimension are
shifted.  Elements shifted out one end of each rank one section are dropped.  If

returns the user and system components of this time in @code{TARRAY(1)} and

become, negative, or numerically less than previous values, during a single

@cindex comparison (lexical)
@cindex lexical comparison

@table @asis
@item @emph{Description}:
Determines whether one string is lexically less than another string,
where the two strings are interpreted as containing ASCII character
codes.  If the String A and String B are not the same length, the
shorter is compared as if spaces were appended to it to form a value
that has the same length as the longer.

In general, the lexical comparison intrinsics @code{LGE}, @code{LGT},
@code{LLE}, and @code{LLT} differ from the corresponding intrinsic
operators @code{.GE.}, @code{.GT.}, @code{.LE.}, and @code{.LT.}, in
that the latter use the processor's character ordering (which is not
ASCII on some targets), whereas the former always use the ASCII
ordering.

initialize the pseudo-random numbers generator and @code{RANDOM_NUMBER}
to generate pseudo-random numbers. Please note that in

@code{RANDOM_SEED} on the other hand) access two independent
pseudo-random number generators.

Returns the current time encoded as an integer (in the manner of the

@code{CTIME()}, @code{GMTIME()}, and @code{LTIME()}.

This intrinsic is not fully portable, such as to systems with 32-bit
@code{INTEGER} types but supporting times wider than 32 bits. 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.

See @ref{TIME8}, for information on a similar intrinsic that might be
portable to more GNU Fortran implementations, though to fewer Fortran
compilers.

Returns the current time encoded as an integer (in the manner of the

@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.
