--- Comment #3 from Ivan Tubert-Brohman <ivan.tubert-brohman at schrodinger dot

I also encountered this issue. I was trying the example given by Metcalf et al.
on _Modern Fortran Explained_ (2018), section 21.4, "Assumed character length":

      interface
         subroutine err_msg(string) bind(c)
            use iso_c_binding
            character(*, c_char), intent(in):: string
         end subroutine err_msg
      end interface

The example worked with the Intel Fortran compiler, but with gfortran 11.1 I
get

  Error: Character argument ‘string’ at (1) must be length 1 because procedure
‘err_msg’ is BIND(C)

I only comment to confirm that both a famous author and an alternative compiler
implementation agree with the interpretation of the standard that this should
work. :-)
