------- Comment #6 from dfranke at gcc dot gnu dot org 2008-11-28 23:02 ------- In gcc.c (cpp_unique_options) we have "%{i*}" which passes on any -i<something> it might encounter, including -i8. This is why we get an error if preprocessing is enabled, as -i8 is not known. So, the problem is not getting an error with .F, but getting no error with .f!
Now, looking for the whereabouts of -i8, one sees with -v that it's not passed to f951, hence it was eaten by the driver?! Interestingly, using -k8, the compiler complains: "unrecognized option '-k8'". In gcc.c (main) we find: /* Now we have the specs. Set the `valid' bits for switches that match anything in any spec. */ validate_all_switches (); Which includes the cpp-spec which uses (cpp_unique_options). Thus, we have a pass interested in the '-i8', namely cpp, which then is never run. In order to make f951 complain about -i*, we need to forward it in the specs. Otherwise it will be simply skipped - to be used with a pass never run.
