Hello all,

it appears that SPREAD and UNPACK are still not accepted in constant expressions:

program ifort_unpack
implicit none
integer, parameter :: set(5) = (/ 11,12,13,14,15 /)
integer, parameter :: sel(2) = (/ 12,14 /)
logical, parameter :: mask(size(set)) = &
any (spread (set,2,size(sel)) == &
spread (sel,1,size(set)), dim=2)
integer :: i
integer, parameter :: idx(size(set)) = &
unpack (vector = (/ (i,i=1,size(set)) /), &
mask = mask, &
field = 0 )
print *, idx
end program ifort_unpack

% ifort -V ifort-unpack.f90

I could not find any corresponding restriction in the F2k3 and F2k8 draft, so I assume
that there should be none. (If I remember correctly, it was illegal for SPREAD in F95)
