--- Comment #5 from janus at gcc dot gnu.org --- (In reply to klaas_giesbertz from comment #4) > I have copied it back from my post and it still compiles with my > gfortran4.7.3. Could it have something to do with my build of gcc? Hopefully not, but it might have to do with the exact version. I just tried it with the most recent branch build: gcc version 4.7.4 20131219 (prerelease) [gcc-4_7-branch revision 206127] (GCC) (which yields the same result as the 4.7.3 version provided by Ubuntu, namely rejecting the test case). What does "gfortran -v" show in your case?
