------- Comment #3 from jvdelisle at gcc dot gnu dot org 2010-07-25 22:24 ------- Generally, the gfortran testsuite test cases are testing specific features and not necessarily strict Standard compliance. There is no need to submit PRs for test cases unless they fail unexpectedly or the specific behavior being tested is accepting wrong results. That does happen occasionally, but I think in this case its a "does not matter"
Also, the compiler is required to detect certain wrong programs, but a lot of the time, it is up to the programmer to get it right or suffer the undefined behavior. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=44873
