You could place a block of code inside an #if 0 and invoke the C preprocessor (preferably by using a file suffix like .F90) to do something like ig25@linux-fd1f:/tmp> cat comment.F90 program main #if 0 { dg-begin-multiline-output "" } EXPECTED OUTPUT TO GO HERE { dg-end-multiline-output "" } #endif end program main which would a bit of a hack.
