Bug ID: 57628 Summary: spurious error: division by zero in if statement Product: gcc Version: 4.7.3 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: fortran Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: furue at hawaii dot edu Dear gfortran maintainers, Division by zero causes error even when it's not executed: program try implicit NONE real, parameter:: a = 0.0 if (a > 0) then write(*,*) 1/a end if end program try $ /usr/bin/gfortran tmp.f90 tmp.f90:5.16: write(*,*) 1/a 1 Error: Division by zero at (1) $ If it's difficult to give a correct diagnosis, please demote this to a warning. I have a lot of constructs like this because I change the parameter often and so this behavior of gfortran is very inconvenient (because I have to rewrite my source code to be able to compile it).
