------- Comment #4 from billingd at gcc dot gnu dot org 2009-01-29 22:14 ------- Tests gfortran.dg/chmod_2.f90 and gfortran.dg/chmod_3.f90 also fail.
There is also some discussion at http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/fortran/2009-01/msg00353.html In each case, the failure is due to the test i = chmod (n, "a-w") if (i == 0 .and. getuid() /= 0) then if (access(n,"w") == 0 .or. access(n,"W") == 0) call abort end if The problem is that users with Administrator rights can always write to files - similar to root on unix - but it is not easy to test for this. I will prepare a patch that moves the parts that fail to a new test that is UNSUPPORTED on cygwin. -- billingd at gcc dot gnu dot org changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Summary|test gfortran.dg/chmod_1.f90|tests |fails on i686-pc-cygwin |gfortran.dg/chmod_{1,2,3}.f9 | |0 fails on i686-pc-cygwin http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=38956
