Bug ID: 82419 Summary: Error: Expected variable in READ statement in (1) Product: gcc Version: 6.3.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: fortran Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: jz2596 at columbia dot edu Target Milestone: --- - I find this error trying to compile a fortran code in version 6.3.0 The details on the compiler are: Using built-in specs. COLLECT_GCC=gfortran COLLECT_LTO_WRAPPER=/usr/local/gfortran/libexec/gcc/x86_64-apple-darwin16/6.3.0/lto-wrapper Target: x86_64-apple-darwin16 Configured with: ../gcc-6.3.0/configure --prefix=/usr/local/gfortran --enable-languages=c,c++,fortran,objc,obj-c++ --build=x86_64-apple-darwin16 --with-gmp=/Users/fx/devel/gcc/deps-static/x86_64 --with-mpfr=/Users/fx/devel/gcc/deps-static/x86_64 --with-mpc=/Users/fx/devel/gcc/deps-static/x86_64 --with-isl=/Users/fx/devel/gcc/deps-static/x86_64 Thread model: posix gcc version 6.3.0 (GCC) - The compiler error is: gfortran -g -Wall -I../FFTW/api -I../mod -L../FFTW -L../lib -lutils -lfftw3 -c utils.f90 utils.f90:251:12: read(20,*) ((dat(1:cn,n)),n=1,ln) 1 Error: Expected variable in READ statement at (1) utils.f90:299:12: - The code that seems to generate the error is subroutine loadtxt_1d_c(f,dat,usecols,fsize,debug) implicit none !I/O logical ,intent(in), optional :: debug integer, intent(in), optional :: usecols(:), fsize(1:2) character(*), intent(in) :: f complex(dlc), intent(out) :: dat(:) !internal integer :: n, cn, ln double precision, allocatable :: rdat(:,:) complex(dlc) :: r open(unit=20,file=trim(f),status='old') if (present(fsize)) then !faster if cn is given cn = fsize(1) ln = fsize(2) else cn = filecolumns(20) ln = filelines(20) write(*,*) 'file size is', cn, ln end if allocate(rdat(cn,ln)) if (present(debug)) write(*,*) 'reading', trim(f) read(20,*) ((rdat(1:cn,n)),n=1,ln) dat = rdat(1,:) + iu*rdat(2,:) close(20) deallocate(rdat) end subroutine loadtxt_1d_c There are other instances of this error in similar read statements in other subroutines. This code compiles on a different machine using ifort, I am trying to have it run on a mac laptop. I found a similar error report Bug 39953 - Error: Expected VARIABLE at (1), and it seems it was fixed in version 4.2.1 and later. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated! Best regards, Jose
