------- Comment #2 from martinol at nrlssc dot navy dot mil 2005-12-07 17:37 ------- I require a library that is not under my control to change (I have the source, but am not the primary developer) and it was written using the SGI f77 compiler. I would like to see this construct added to gfortran as an extension.
Since it is supported by several other compilers, it may be used by other developers using those compilers; thence tied to them and unsupported by GNU GCC. If, however, there are no other users who wish or would benefit from this enhancement, then it should be closed. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=25297
