length of a name #208

Open RobertVanAmerongen opened 3 years ago

RobertVanAmerongen commented 3 years ago

The Fortran standard has a limit on the length of a name, i.e .the number of characters: 63. Working with Vulkan give some problems as some of the named constants are (much) longer than this limit. The current core version (verson 1.2) have more than 20 of these cases. Some of the extensions also have some of that. Not only too long named constants are seen, also with a few function names. Can the limit be increased ? Maybe 127 ? ( to start with)

With a concrete use case like this, I think it'd be viable to propose this for F202Y.
