Overriding module variable names

rahzan · ‎10-21-2003

If a variable of the same name as a module variable is decalred in a contained routine, it overrides the latter.

Is there a compiler option which prevents this, so that the user is warned of the override?

Thanks,

No - that's a standard Fortran feature. I think if you use ONLY, though, the compiler will complain if you also declare the item locally.

I had a problem other way round -- see this thread on comp.lang.fortran. I still think it's a language misfeature.
