------- Comment #2 from burnus at gcc dot gnu dot org 2007-08-31 20:16 ------- > The print case is rejected at run time. My bad. I wanted to write:
print('(a)'), 'Hello' which is valid code and accepted. (Cf. PR33269 for detecting this.) > read ('(f3.3)'), a ! Invalid, rejected at compile time, requires unit number. I disagree - and also NAG f95 agrees with me; READ has two form: R910 read-stmt is READ ( io-control-spec-list ) [ input-item-list ] or READ format [ , input-item-list ] And I would argue that "read '(f3.3)', a" and "read ('(f3.3)'), a" are both of the second type. As both are default-character-expressions, this should be valid. As is my - fixed - PRINT case. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=33268
