--- Comment #3 from Dominique d'Humieres <dominiq at lps dot ens.fr> --- Can you make a diff of /path_tar/gcc/fortran and /path_svn/gcc/fortran? The error Error: Deferred-length character component 'getname' at (1) is not yet supported is still active even on trunk (4.9.0, r206729). The 4.8 (including 4.8.1 svn) and 4.9 manual says Deferred-length character strings of Fortran 2003 supports part of the features of @code{ISO_VARYING_STRING} and should be considered as replacement. (Namely, allocatable or pointers of the type @code{character(len=:)}.)
