Subject: [patch] fortran/intrinsic.texi: Add 'passed by value' to signal handler
Date: Mon, 16 Oct 2023 19:11:46 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <a663b83c-356a-410c-871b-1897d12fd76a@codesourcery.com> (raw)

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 644 bytes --]

Yesterday, someone was confused because the signal handler did not work.

It turned out that the created Fortran procedure used as handler used
pass by reference - and 'signal' passed the it by value.

This patch adds the 'passed by value' to the wording:

"@var{HANDLER} to be executed with a single integer argument passed by
value"

OK for mainline?
