Bug ID: 65684
Summary: Wrong error message when writing to a string
Product: gcc
Version: 4.9.3
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: minor
Priority: P3
Component: fortran
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: a.vogt at fulguritus dot com
gfortran gives the wrong output when writing to a string that is too short:
Compiling and running this snippet
program test
implicit none
character(2) :: str
write(str,*) 100
print *, str
end program
results in
> At line 5 of file test.F90
> Fortran runtime error: End of record
ifort, on the other hand, gives the correct error message:
> forrtl: severe (66): output statement overflows record, unit -5, file
> Internal List-Directed Write
Could the gfortran error message be adjusted?
