--- Comment #2 from Norman S. Clerman <norm.clerman at gmail dot com> 2012-04-25 18:13:03 UTC --- Created attachment 27241 --> http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=27241 see original submittal Hello Tobias, Sorry that I forgot to attach the file. It is attached here. I have greatly reduced the number of the files - most in the program were not needed to reproduce the problem. The error message remains the one I sent in the original submittal. I currently have eight outstanding issues with Intel and a similar number with PGI. I have a few with NAG, and this one with you. I could make it a full-time job submitting bugs. But I don't have the time from my work to reduce every problem, or to spend hours and hours trying to create a simple test case. In this particular case, I do not think you should have difficulty reproducing the problem and determining its cause. Please don't hesitate to send me a message if something is still missing or if you require additional information. Thanks for your efforts. Yours, Norm Clerman Permit me to add that the lack of deferred length, allocatable characters in gfortran represents, for me, a major obstacle. The other three compilers I use support them, and I use them in all but one of my major applications.
