[Bug fortran/22273] New: problem to declare a character variable link to an intent(out) object

[gruel at astro dot ufl dot edu]

I think that this error message is a bug in gfortran. I don't see anythink
forbidden in fortran 95 to explain it.


gfortran  -c mod_lecfich.f90

In file mod_lecfich.f90:32

    character(len=len(ligne)) :: comment
                     1
Error: Dummy argument 'ligne' at (1) cannot be INTENT(OUT)
make: *** [mod_lecfich.o] Error 1


the subroutine incriminate is:


  subroutine lecligne (nomfich,ligne)
    use mod_common

    character(len=*), intent(in) :: nomfich
    character(len=*), dimension(:),intent(out) :: ligne

    integer(kind=i4b) :: err,taille
    character(len=len(ligne)) :: comment

    open (unit=1,file=nomfich,form="formatted",status="old",action="read",iostat
=err,position="rewind")
    if (err /= 0) then
       print*, "error to open the file ",trim(nomfich)
       stop
    end if

    taille = 1
    do
       read (unit=1,fmt="(a)",iostat=err) ligne(taille)
       if (err < 0) then
          exit
       end if
       comment = trim(adjustl(ligne(taille)))
       if (comment(1:1) == "#") cycle
       taille = taille + 1
       print*, comment
    end do
    close (unit=1)
    return
  end subroutine lecligne
