--- Comment #23 from Tobias Burnus <burnus at gcc dot gnu.org> 2011-01-22 21:58:02 UTC --- (In reply to comment #21) > It is not resolved because we are waiting for an interpretation from the > Fortran standards committee on whether the test case is valid or invalid > Fortran. Cf. comment 17: The J3 agreed that it is a bug in the standard and agreed on the proposed change, which solves the ambiguity in the standard and allows such namelists. The next step is to get passed a WG5 ballot. Finally, the change will be released as Corrigendum 1 to Fortran 2008. While it could be still rejected, the changes for a rejection are quite low. Thus, I went ahead and implemented it. (cf. attachment 23080 of PR 47339). Xavier: You do not have to wait for a new release, you could fetch the patch and build GCC/gfortran your self. Alternatively, when the patch is committed, you can get nightly builds. Both is described at http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/GFortranBinaries
