Summary: I/O for reals: READ waits for input after "i" and "n" Product: gcc Version: 4.6.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: fortran AssignedTo: unassig...@gcc.gnu.org ReportedBy: bur...@gcc.gnu.org CC: jvdeli...@gcc.gnu.org Based on https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?A1=ind1102&L=COMP-FORTRAN-90#2 If one uses: READ (*,*) real_variable and enters "i"<enter> or "n"<enter>, gfortran does not immediately return with an error but waits for further input. As it does not accept "N"<enter>"aN" but only "NaN" and "Inf"/"Infinity" as input, this behaviour does not not make sense. For other characters, e.g. "e" or "d" it immediately returns with an error. Expected: As NAG, ifort, pathf95 do (for the linked test case): -9.9900000E+02 Input new value: i ioerr = 140 a = -9.9900000E+02 Result with gfortran (note extra input line): -999.00000 Input new value: i ioerr = 5010 a = -999.00000 Input new value: i nf ioerr = 5010 a = -999.00000
