--- Comment #2 from Tobias Burnus <burnus at gcc dot gnu.org> 2011-05-25 14:23:53 UTC --- I just tested with some other compilers: ifort accepts the invalid code, PathScale and Open64 show a similar syntax error as gfortran, and PGI has a somewhat more legible error message: PGF90-S-0155-Illegal continuation (test.f90: 17) For the correct syntax, cf. OpenMP spec at http://openmp.org/wp/openmp-specifications/
