--- Comment #13 from Tobias Burnus <burnus at gcc dot gnu.org> 2012-01-10 08:45:21 UTC --- (In reply to comment #12) > Did any interpretation requests go in on this and did we get an answer back? No, but I just wrote one: http://j3-fortran.org/pipermail/j3/2012-January/004976.html The next J3 meeting will be #197, February 13-17, 2012, Las Vegas NV USA The IR should pop up soon at: http://j3-fortran.org/doc/meeting/197/ > I am leaning toward current 4.7 is OK and 4.6 has the regression. Sorry, that twists my mind. 4.6.0 *and* 4.7 produce "******". (While g77 and GCC 4.1 to 4.5 produce "** ".) Any reason - in terms of the standard - why you "am leaning toward current 4.7"? I believe that Bob Corbett and Malcolm Cohen are right and "** " is the correct output - even if more compilers have six asterisks: "** ": g77, gfortran < 4.6, g95, NAG f95, PGI "******": gfortran >= 4.6.0, ifort, crayftn, open64, pathf95, Sun/Oracle f95, IBM xlf
