Some examples in the documentation print logical values using character formatting, so wrong values are printed.

[ecasglez]

Describe the issue
I have identified the following examples in the documentation that exhibit this behaviour:

In stdlib_stringlist_type module:

• Comparison operator equal
• Comparison operator not equal

In stdlib_strings module:

• starts_with
• ends_with

For example, the program demo_inequality_operator contains the following line:

print'(a)', stringlist /= ["#4", "#3", "#1"]

When I run that example the code prints wierd characters or nothing.

Expected behaviour

If I change the previous example to:

print'(l)', stringlist /= ["#4", "#3", "#1"]

or

print *, stringlist /= ["#4", "#3", "#1"]

T or F is printed.

Technical Details

Will using '(l)' instead of '(a)' work for all compilers? I use gfortran too and realised this problem.

I think '(l0)' should work for all compilers.

'(a)' is definitely wrong, even if compilers accept it and do the right thing ;). Op ma 13 sep. 2021 om 11:04 schreef Sebastian Ehlert < ***@***.***>:
