kargl at gcc dot gnu.org changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |kargl at gcc dot gnu.org --- Comment #5 from kargl at gcc dot gnu.org 2011-11-12 22:03:49 UTC --- I've looked at this issue, and I have come to the conclusion that it should be closed as WONTFIX. First, an error is issued, so one can fix their Fortran code. Now, for the problem. The matchers are called from the parser according this diagram (parse.c line 1717). +---------------------------------------+ | program subroutine function module | +---------------------------------------+ | use | +---------------------------------------+ | import | +---------------------------------------+ | | implicit none | | +-----------+-----------------+ | | parameter | implicit | | +-----------+-----------------+ | format | | derived type | | entry | parameter | interface | | | data | specification | | | | statement func | | +-----------+-----------------+ | | data | executable | +---------+-----------+-----------------+ | contains | +---------------------------------------+ | internal module/subprogram | +---------------------------------------+ | end | +---------------------------------------+ As one can see, a DATA statement and a statement function are parsed at the same level. A programmer can use an implied do-loop within a DATA statement. Unfortunately, an implied do-loop is parsed by the same code that parses a regular do-loop. It appears that insufficient information is contained within the parser at the point where the error is issued to determine that the do-loop is in an executable portion of the program.
