6.2.3 Alternate complex function syntax
Some Fortran compilers, including g77
, let the user declare
complex functions with the syntax COMPLEX FUNCTION name*16()
, as
well as COMPLEX*16 FUNCTION name()
. Both are non-standard, legacy
extensions. gfortran
accepts the latter form, which is more
common, but not the former.
