Bug ID: 83191 Summary: Writing a namelist with repeated complex numbers Product: gcc Version: 7.2.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: fortran Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: ccyang at unlv dot edu Target Milestone: --- This is a program that generates the bug on my Mac OS 10.12.6 and 10.13.1 with the latest MacPorts port gcc7: program test implicit none integer, parameter :: UNIT = 1 character(len=8), parameter :: FILE = "namelist" complex, dimension(3) :: a = (/ (0.0, 0.0), (0.0, 0.0), (0.0, 0.0) /) namelist /complex_namelist/ a open(UNIT, file=FILE) write(UNIT, nml=complex_namelist) close(UNIT) open(UNIT, file=FILE) read(UNIT, nml=complex_namelist) close(UNIT) end program test It compiles without any warning, but when run, it fails at reading the newly created namelist: $ gfortran test.f90 -o test -Wall -Wextra $ ./test At line 17 of file test.f90 (unit = 1, file = 'namelist') Fortran runtime error: Cannot match namelist object name (0.000000000.00000000) Error termination. Backtrace: #0 0x10320d0dc #1 0x10320d99c #2 0x10320dfff #3 0x10329b03a #4 0x1032a0b78 #5 0x1032a0d9f #6 0x103203df8 #7 0x103203e6c $ The problem is in the content of the namelist file: $ cat namelist &COMPLEX_NAMELIST A= 3* (0.00000000,0.00000000), / $ where the repeated count (3*) has a gap of blanks to the complex number that needs to be repeated. If I have a namelist file without that gap, it can be read in by a program correctly. In summary, the reading and writing of a namelist file with a repeated count is not mutually valid.
