--- Comment #5 from Jerry DeLisle <jvdelisle at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
F2008 4.2
9 An asterisk as a type-param-value specifies that a length type parameter is
an assumed type parameter. It is used for a dummy argument to assume the type
parameter value from the effective argument, for an associate name in a SELECT
TYPE construct to assume the type parameter value from the corresponding
selector, and for a named constant of type character to assume the character
length from the constant-expr .
I think the last fragment clarifies that the following is the right way to do
it.
character(len=*),parameter :: ident1="@(#)one(3f): with asterisk"
and C402 excludes the use of the colon without exception
Repeating myself:
"named constant of type character to assume the character length from the
constant-expr."
Is very explicit.
