Bug #: 55636 Summary: [4.8 Regression] Fortran name mangling collides with user namespace Classification: Unclassified Product: gcc Version: 4.8.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: critical Priority: P3 Component: fortran AssignedTo: unassig...@gcc.gnu.org ReportedBy: d...@gcc.gnu.org As reported in early October, a patch added name mangling to some additional symbols. The mangling is wrong for a number of reasons: 1) It conflicts with naming used in some systems (AIX) 2) It does not obey NO_DOT_IN_LABEL 3) It does not use identifiers reserved to the system A proposal to use "_F" prefix instead of "." was proposed and discussed, but there has been no progress.
