[ in Fortran,
CALL SUBR(FUNC, FUNC)
May be called as
TEMP=FUNC
CALL SUBR(TEMP, TEMP)
Which is an even greater liberty with the calling sequence than C is
permitted ]
Thank you.
So, FORTRAN does have ambiguous and unspecified behaviour. It just
describes it in different terms. If Jim Giles has a problem with C,
then he must have an even bigger problem with FORTRAN. If not, then
his opposition to C must be based on religious beliefs rather than
logical reasoning.
