------- Comment #6 from jvdelisle at gcc dot gnu dot org 2006-12-24 03:14 ------- With th patch in comment #5, NIST tests go OK. It matches g77 behavior.
I am thinking though that the default behavior should be -fno-backslash. With -fno-backslash, gfortran matches intel behavior. My impression is that escaping with backslashes is non-standard behavior, so we should require a parameter to invoke it. It could also be tied in with -std=legacy. If not this, then we should at least do -fno-backslash with -std=f95 -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=30278
