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.
