Thanks for testing! To be honest, I haven't really done much testing with big strings, so far my focus has been on getting the existing testsuite to pass and getting the ABI right. As the library ABI has been broken for GCC 8 already by other changes, I'd like to piggyback this ABI change in for the GCC 8 release as well. As the patch is already pretty big as is, I'd prefer that other fixes to enable big strings would be done as separate patches rather than trying to make everything perfect on the first try. Slightly related to your testcases, I think it would make sense to create some separate "GFortran huge" testsuite, where we could collect testcases that need lots of memory, or cpu time, or disk space and can thus not be part of the default testsuite. -- Janne Blomqvist
