Assume the following case:
One had somewhere '(3(a,....),f)', now one copies this and realizes that one
does not need the 3(..) anymore. Result:
'(a,....),f)'
Ups, the ",f)" is ignored.
Currently, gfortran does not warn in such a case.
Expected: gfortran warns at compile time
Ifort (9.1) even default warns in such a case:
fortcom: Warning: test.f90, line 5: The extra characters in the format
specification will be ignored ['(a),f)']
write(*,'(a),f)') 'Hello', r
--------------^
Test case:
--------------
program test
implicit none
real :: r
r = 1.0
write(*,'(a),f)') 'Hello', r
end program test
--------------
