[Bug libfortran/18985] opening unit 6 messes up print
--- Comment #6 from schilds at sun dot ac dot za 2008-08-07 19:07 --- This is a serious bug, make no mistake. It causes existing Fortran 77 code to fail. It's wasted a lot of my time and, no doubt, a lot of other, good peoples' too. The print*, (or write(*,*)) statement certainly _IS_ standard Fortran 77 and its ubiquitousness should make fixing this bug a priority. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=18985

--- Comment #8 from schilds at sun dot ac dot za 2008-08-08 08:31 --- What does Fortran 2003 have to do with legacy mode? Nothing. So far as I know the GCC compiler is at odds with Solaris, Intel, Vax, you name it. All of these allowed you to touch unit 6 without affecting the print*, (or write(*,*)) statement. The behaviour is therefore both unexpected and difficult to track down (not even a warning). This is a serious bug, make no mistake. It causes existing Fortran 77 code to fail. It's wasted a lot of my time and, no doubt, a lot of other, good peoples' too. The ubiquitousness of the print*, (or write(*,*)) statement makes fixing this bug a priority. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=18985

--- Comment #11 from schilds at sun dot ac dot za 2008-08-09 07:27 --- Jeez! After reading what all of you have said ... I see this code does actually do something as crazy (and simple) as set the logical unit number for a file to 6, in a subroutine (when I had thought they had only done writes). Yes, this is a known Fortran issue from way back. I apologise profusely for wasting your time in the manner I have. Again, I apologise. P.S. If it makes you feel better, just think of the task I have ahead of me. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=18985
