Well, I think my approach is not as far-fetched as you seem to imply: There are already a good number of procedures which use the 'match' enum, although they're not related to matching at all. Listing only those that occur in gfortran.h (I'm sure there are more): * match gfc_mod_pointee_as (gfc_array_spec *); * match gfc_intrinsic_func_interface (gfc_expr *, int); * match gfc_intrinsic_sub_interface (gfc_code *, int); * match gfc_iso_c_sub_interface(gfc_code *, gfc_symbol *); The reason for this is of course that the YES/NO/ERROR triple is not only useful in matching, but also in many other situations. Cheers, Janus
