Btw, for a related test case ...
subroutine sub
common n,z
integer z(n)
end
... gfortran spits out:
integer z(n)
1
Error: Variable 'n' at (1) in this context must be constant
Here we also complain about non-constant expressions (instead of "automatic
objects"), so we should probably stick to this kind of wording also for the
original test case (which had non-constant character lengths).
