The patch in comment #1 changes only runtime_error_at, which appears to
be generated by the front-end only.
BTW: The program
program test
open(unit=10, file="/no/such/file", action='read')
end program test
gives with 4.7 and the patch in comment #1:
At line 2 of file test.f90 (unit = 10, file = '')
Fortran runtime error: File '/no/such/file' does not exist
while 4.6.2 with -fbacktrace produces:
At line 2 of file test.f90 (unit = 10, file = '')
Fortran runtime error: File '/no/such/file' does not exist
Backtrace for this error:
+ function test (0x80485F9)
at line 3 of file test.f90
+ /lib/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xf3) [0xb73be003]
The latter error is generated by a call to runtime_error_at in
the compiled program, while the former error in open must be
generated somewhere in st_open and descendants.
Not relevant here, but note the missing file name in the first
line of the error message.
