The constructs enabled via -fugly-logint are:
INTEGER and LOGICAL as
dictated by
context (typically implies nonportable dependencies on how a
particular implementation encodes .TRUE. and .FALSE.).
LOGICAL variable in ASSIGN and assigned-GOTO
statements.
The above constructs are disabled by default because use of them tends to lead to non-portable code. Even existing Fortran code that uses that often turns out to be non-portable, if not outright buggy.
Some of this is due to differences among implementations as
far as how .TRUE. and .FALSE. are encoded as
INTEGER values--Fortran code that assumes a particular
coding is likely to use one of the above constructs, and is
also likely to not work correctly on implementations using
different encodings.
