[comp.lang.fortran] User-defined Elemental Functions

mccalpin@masig2.ocean.fsu.edu (John D. McCalpin) (07/12/89)

One of the features removed from the ANSI Fortran-8X draft between the
last public review and the current draft is called "user-defined
elemental functions".  I have looked and looked at the old draft, and
I cannot figure out exactly what is meant by this term.

Could someone provide an example of a "user-defined elemental function"
and explain how it differs from any other kind of function?
