--- Comment #10 from Tobias Burnus <burnus at gcc dot gnu.org> 2011-08-04 08:09:26 UTC --- (In reply to comment #9) > + if (strcmp (e1->symtree->n.sym->name, e1->symtree->n.sym->name) != 0) That can be done quicker as: if (e1->symtree->n.sym->name == e1->symtree->n.sym->name) well, not in the general case - but as long as "gfc_get_string" was used to obtain the value.
