[Bug fortran/30611] New: Confusing error message for negative ncopies in REPEAT

[tkoenig at gcc dot gnu dot org]

The code is invalid (13.14.89 says about NCOPIES
"Its value should not be negative), but the
error message could definitely be improved :-)

$ cat rep.f90
program main
  integer :: i
  character(len=10) :: from
  from = "-1"
  read(unit=from, fmt="(I10)") i
  print *,repeat ("a", i)
end program main
$ gfortran rep.f90
$ ./a.out
Fortran runtime error: Attempt to allocate a negative amount of memory.
