------- Comment #1 from dominiq at lps dot ens dot fr 2009-10-12 07:19 ------- The F95 standard says:
The F, E, EN, ES, and D edit descriptors specify the editing of real and complex data. An input/output list item corresponding to an F, E, EN, ES, or D edit descriptor shall be real or complex. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ The G edit descriptor also may be used to edit real and complex data (10.5.4.1.2). So I think gfortran is right to reject read(unit=2, 100) i 100 format (f10.7) even if my reading of the "shall", is that it is not a "constraint" for the compiler but for the user. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=41678
