+# Fortran Extensions supported by Flang
+
+```{contents}

+
+For better compatibility with GNU Fortran and Sun Fortran,
+this compiler supports an option (`-funsigned`) that enables
+the `UNSIGNED` data type, constants, intrinsic functions,
+its use with intrinsic operations and `SELECT CASE`, and C
+language interoperability.
+
+## `UNSIGNED` type
+
+`UNSIGNED` is a numeric type with the same kinds as `INTEGER`.
+It may appear as a type-spec in any context, including
+a type declaration statement, a type-decl in an array
+constructor or `ALLOCATE` statement, `IMPLICIT`, or a
+function statement's prefix.
+
+`UNSIGNED` constants are nonempty strings of decimal digits
+followed by the letter `U` and optionally a kind suffix with
+an underscore.
+
+## `UNSIGNED` operations
+
+`UNSIGNED` operands are accepted for unary negation (`-`),
+the basic four binary arithmetic intrinsic operations `+`, `-`, `*`, and `/`,
+and for numeric relational operators.
+The power operator `**` does not accept `UNSIGNED` operands.
+
+Mixed operations with other types are not allowed.
+Mixed operations with one `UNSIGNED` operand and one BOZ literal
+constant operand are allowed.
+When the operands' kinds differ, the smaller operand is zero-extended
+to the size of the larger.
+
+The arithmetic operations `u+v`, `-u`, `u-v`, and `u*v` are implemented
+modulo `MAX(HUGE(u),HUGE(v))+1`;
+informally speaking, they always truncate their results, or are
+guaranteed to "wrap".
+
+## `UNSIGNED` intrinsic functions
+
+`UNSIGNED` operands are accepted as operands to,
+or may be returned as results from,
+several intrinsic procedures.
+
+Bitwise operations:
+* `NOT`
+* `IAND`, `IOR`, `IEOR`, `IBCLR`, `IBSET`, `IBITS`, `MERGE_BITS`
+* `BTEST`
+* `ISHFT`, `ISHFTC`
+* `SHIFTA`, `SHIFTL`, `SHIFTR`
+* `TRANSFER`
+* `MVBITS`
+
+The existing unsigned comparisons `BLT`, `BLE`, `BGE`, and `BGT`.
+
+The inquiries `BIT_SIZE`, `DIGITS`, `HUGE`, and `RANGE`.
+
+Homogeneous `MAX` and `MIN`.

It means that `MAX` and `MIN` should support `UNSIGNED` arguments, but only when all of the arguments are `UNSIGNED`. Mixed arguments with `UNSIGNED` combined with `REAL` or other types should not work.
