PARAMETER
Statementsg77
doesn't allow intrinsics in PARAMETER
statements.
Related to this, g77
doesn't allow non-integral
exponentiation in PARAMETER
statements, such as
PARAMETER (R=2**.25)
.
It is unlikely g77
will ever support this feature,
as doing it properly requires complete emulation of
a target computer's floating-point facilities when
building g77
as a cross-compiler.
But, if the gcc
back end is enhanced to provide
such a facility, g77
will likely use that facility
in implementing this feature soon afterwards.
