It would be better if runtime_error() included printf-like capabilites, for better error reporting.

This, in turn, should be based on the library printf() - family of functions because it offers more capabilities (such as %ld). -- Summary: printf-capabilities for runtime_error() Product: gcc Version: 4.3.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: enhancement Priority: P3 Component: libfortran AssignedTo: unassigned at gcc dot gnu dot org ReportedBy: tkoenig at gcc dot gnu dot org http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=32858
