Generic interface blocks

In an INTERFACE statement, a generic interface block must specify one of the following:
  • a generic name
  • defined operator
  • defined assignment
  • a derived-type input/output generic specification
The generic name is a single name with which to reference all of the procedures specified in the interface block. It can be the same as any accessible generic name, or any of the procedure names in the interface block.

If two or more generic interfaces that are accessible in a scoping unit have the same local name, they are interpreted as a single generic interface.
