Is there a way get the compiler to evaluate if's intelligently?

[ferrad]

The specific issue I have at the moment is statements like:

if(i .gt. 0 .and. array(i) .gt. 10.0) then ...

if the first bit is false, it doesn't need to evaulate the second bit, in fact it must not, as it will fail with full checking on.

The Fortran language does not have short-circuit evaluation nor does it specify order of evaluation for logical operands. The compiler chooses order based on optimization criteria (register pressure, etc.)

What you should do is use IF-THEN to nest the conditions the way you want. Then you will not be subject to the whim of the compiler and your code will be more portable.
