Bug ID: 85088
Summary: improve diagnostic for bad INTENT declaration
('Invalid character in name at')
Product: gcc
Version: 8.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: fortran
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: janus at gcc dot gnu.org
Target Milestone: ---
Simple example with three invalid variable declarations:
subroutine s(x, y, z)
integer, intent(int) :: x
integer, intent :: y
integer, inten :: z
end
Basically all gfortran versions I tried yield this output:
intent.f90:2:11:
integer, intent(int) :: x
1
Error: Invalid character in name at (1)
intent.f90:3:11:
integer, intent :: y
1
Error: Invalid character in name at (1)
intent.f90:4:11:
integer, inten :: z
1
Error: Invalid character in name at (1)
The first problem here is that the marker (1) is placed wrongly, or at least
not very exactly. Furthermore also the error message could be improved, in
particular in the first case, where one has a valid INTENT keyword, but with an
invalid argument.
