Bug ID: 64522 Summary: [4.8/4.9/5 Regression] Free-form source code: -Wline-truncation is no longer enabled by default Product: gcc Version: 5.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Keywords: diagnostic Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: fortran Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: burnus at gcc dot gnu.org Using GCC 4.4, a free-form source code which exceeds the 132 character limit showed by default the message: "Warning: Line truncated at (1)" Using GCC 4.8, 4.9 and 5, this message is only shown with -Wline-truncation (which is implied by -Wall). As other compilers by default use -ffree-line-length-none (unlimited line length), it makes sense to show this warning by default - or even to error out. Currently, it may lead to difficult-to-find bugs. [GCC 4.4 did not show this warning by default for fixed-form source code, which makes sense]
