ferror's Issues

ifort error

If I try with the latest ifort compiler on Linux
ifort -c ferror.f90 ferror_implementation.f90 ,
I get a few warnings about gnu extensions idate and itime (which probably could get fixed by adding use ifport in ferror.f90) ,
and an error

ferror_implementation.f90(274): error #6122: The characteristics of the separate module procedure differ from those specified in the separate interface body.   [ER_GET_ERR_FCN_PTR]
module function er_get_err_fcn_ptr(this) result(ptr)
compilation aborted for ferror_implementation.f90 (code 1)

I would really like to be able to use ferror, in linalg, with ifort (and ifx).
However, I cannot get it to work.
If it helps, I asked chat.openai.com about error #6122 and this is its answer, which still does not
help me enough to fix the problem myself.

This error message is generated by the Intel Fortran compiler (ifort) and indicates that there is a mismatch between the characteristics of a procedure defined in a module and those specified in the separate interface body for that procedure.

There are several possible reasons for this error:

1. The procedure may have been defined with different arguments or a different return type in the module than those specified in the separate interface body.
   

2. The procedure may have been defined with different accessibility (e.g. public, private) in the module than that specified in the separate interface body.
   

3. There may be a typo or other mistake in the name of the procedure in the separate interface body.
   

To fix this error, you will need to ensure that the procedure is defined consistently in the module and in the separate interface body. This may involve modifying the procedure definition or the separate interface body to match the other.
