Bug ID: 73142 Summary: Reading a namelist fails - my code worked until 4.8.2 Product: gcc Version: 6.1.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: fortran Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: gwebe...@t-online.de Target Milestone: --- Created attachment 39129 --> https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=39129&action=edit Minimum example Hi folks, I am using the GCC package for Windows provided by www.equation.com. It looks like after version 4.8.2 a bug was introduced in the reading of namelists. The reading is rubbish when the data file has a certain format. But at least in Windows when you open the data file in a common editor you see identical content to a version of the data file, which can be read correctly. Attached please find the minimum example of my code. FileA.dat will work, FileB.dat doesn't. There is no such problem when using GCC 4.8.2 and older versions. That the bug was introduced is a pity because the code that does not work right now is part of a major Monte Carlo program used in high energy physics. I would really appreciate if someone could fix this issue. Sincerely, Günter
