------- Comment #1 from jvdelisle at gcc dot gnu dot org 2005-11-06 23:58 ------- Testing that patch gives the following results. I will put together a test case and commit this as obvious unless there are objections.
hex dump of TEST file created using gfortran 4.0.1 gives, with no patch: $ xxd TEST 0000000: 0800 0000 0000 0000 2a2a 5445 5354 2a2a ........**TEST** 0000010: 0800 0000 0000 0000 0800 0000 0000 0000 ................ 0000020: 2a2a 5445 5354 2a2a 0800 0000 0000 0000 **TEST**........ With gfortran 4.1 we get: $ xxd TEST 0000000: 0800 0000 0000 0000 2a2a 5445 5354 2a2a ........**TEST** 0000010: 0800 0000 0000 0000 2a2a 5445 5354 2a2a ........**TEST** 0000020: ffff ffff ffff ff7f ........ With Georgy's patch on 4.0.3: $ xxd TEST 0000000: 0800 0000 0000 0000 2a2a 5445 5354 2a2a ........**TEST** 0000010: 0800 0000 0000 0000 0800 0000 0000 0000 ................ 0000020: 2a2a 5445 5354 2a2a 0800 0000 0000 0000 **TEST**........ With Georgy's patch on 4.1: $ xxd TEST 0000000: 0800 0000 0000 0000 2a2a 5445 5354 2a2a ........**TEST** 0000010: 0800 0000 0000 0000 0800 0000 0000 0000 ................ 0000020: 2a2a 5445 5354 2a2a 0800 0000 0000 0000 **TEST**........ So it appears we had a regression from 4.0.1 in there somehow and did not catch it.
