Using and Porting GNU Fortran

10.2.4 Character-variable Length

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.
