Bug ID: 58001 Summary: Make it possible to silence "Extension: Tab character in format" warning Product: gcc Version: 4.9.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Keywords: diagnostic Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: fortran Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: burnus at gcc dot gnu.org For indenting the source code, gfortran warns only with -std=f* or with -Wtab. However, for format strings, it always warns - and with -std=f* it even turns the warning into an error! (see io.c's next_char_not_space) Example: 1894 format( '123') end (The tab is before '123'. A tab in the string itself is not warned for.) Maybe the best would be to disable this warning with -std=legacy - and refer to -std=legacy in the -std=gnu warning?
