[Bug fortran/31495] New: Is this continuation line legal?

[michael dot a dot richmond at nasa dot gov]

When I compile the program listed below I get the message:

Warning: '&' not allowed by itself in line 4

The other compilers I tried do not print any messages.

PROGRAM print_ascertain
CHARACTER (LEN=20) :: str
str = "Hello world &
& &
&"
END PROGRAM print_ascertain
