--- Comment #11 from Tobias Burnus <burnus at gcc dot gnu.org> 2011-02-13 10:11:44 UTC --- (In reply to comment #8) > Submitted patch (with some modifications): > http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/fortran/2011-02/msg00087.html Mikael pointed out that I have probably misread the standard with regards to restrictions for pointer character actual arguments. As the text is a bit confusing (first part seems to allow all scalar character actual arguments, second part implies the restrictions also apply to elements of character arrays), I have asked at J3: http://j3-fortran.org/pipermail/j3/2011-February/004191.html
