ifort 15.0 beta update

[IanH]

Is there going to be another (a second?) update?  My premier support issue 6000054145 (to do with move_alloc and argument intent checking - I've got that right haven't I????) means that the latest update (15.0.0.054) won't successfully compile any of my real stuff, which makes it a bit hard to test.

There will be an Beta update 2 release perhaps as soon as this week. I checked your test case from your Premier issue against the coming update 2 and it also produces the same error.

I believe you are correct in what you stated in your Premier that the compiler seems to "conflate the specification of the dummy arguments of MOVE_ALLOC with what's required of the actual arguments." The Fortran 2008 standard in section 13.7.118 MOVE_ALLOC describes the FROM and TO arguments as "It is an ..." in terms of the INTENT-ness and not "It shall be ...".

Steve and others with a better understanding of the Fortran Standard can revise/correct. For now I will forward your issue to Development.

Yes, it seems that the fix, for the problem where we were allowing INTENT(IN) arguments to MOVE_ALLOC, went too far. Kevin, the previous issue was DPD200244422. Sorry for the mixup and we'll get it straightened out.

Thank you Steve. This new error was submitted to Development (see internal tracking id below). I'll update the post and IPS with status as I learn it.

(Resolution Update on 09/05/2014): This defect is fixed in the Intel® Parallel Studio XE 2015 Initial Release (2015.0.108 - Windows)

Ian - this is just a repeat from the recent closure of your Premier issue that this issue has been fixed in the IPS XE 2015 (15.0 compiler) initial release.
