Well, only scalar character of the default kind, but still… This patch achieves this goal by following the obvious plan, which has not changed since I wrote it in PR 36275 in 2008 :) The custom matcher for binding label, in gfc_match_bind_c(), is removed and the generic matcher gfc_match_init_expr() is called, followed by checks that the expression obtained fulfills the constraints of a C identifier.
So, now is the time to think about PR 38839 (what characters to allow as a binding label): right now, I allow alphadecimals, underscore and dollar. From the PR comments, it seems like @ and ` might be also allowed for universal-character names, but they are not supported by GCC on platforms I tested right now. Let me know what you think, but I don’t think we should worry to much about it. Bootstrapped and regtested on x86_64-apple-darwin13, comes with testcases. OK to commit? FX PS: you may notice I have had some time to hack at gfortran these past few days... it feels good!
