------- Comment #5 from jvdelisle at gcc dot gnu dot org 2008-01-22 03:12 ------- With Tobias patch, the example code in comment 4 compiles with or without a tab preceding the 1 digit. It also works with 0 to 5 spaces preceding the tab and fails with anything between the tab and the first digit 1. So I think the patch is safe. Call it a legacy feature, it gives a warning with -std=f95 or -pedantic
(rant) That being said, With all the brain power out there writing extremely complex code, you would think some one would just right the simple conversion program and get rid of all the tabs and handle the special case once and for all. It ain't that hard folks to fix your damn code. :) whooo! that felt good. Of course this patch is only about 15 lines of code. Maybe I should post a Fortran -std=f95 compliant program on the wiki, Call it "TabStripper.f" -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=34899
