Node: Character-variable Length, Next: Year 10000 (Y10K) Problems, Previous: Array Size, Up: Run-time Environment Limits
Currently, g77 uses the default INTEGER type
for the lengths of CHARACTER variables
and array elements.
This means that, for example,
a system with a 64-bit address space
and a 32-bit default INTEGER type
does not, under g77,
support a CHARACTER*n declaration
where n is greater than 2147483647.
