--- Comment #7 from Tobias Burnus <burnus at gcc dot gnu.org> 2012-02-05 09:58:46 UTC --- (In reply to comment #4) > I believe that John is correct. The form 'CHARACTER*n string' > is obsolescent while the form 'CHARACTER string*n' is not. After re-checking the standard, I concur. However, I want to point out that a simple quoting such as > From Sec 5.1 in the F2003 standard, > R504 entity-decl is object-name [( array-spec )] [ * char-length ] > [ initialization ] > or function-name [ * char-length ] is insufficient as one cannot see whether '[ * char-length ]' is obsolescent: "The descriptions of obsolescent features appear in a smaller type size." (F2008, 1.4.5 Text conventions). However, I have just check it and the font size seems to be the normal one.
