Bug ID: 105473 Summary: semicolon allowed when list-directed read integer with decimal='point' Product: gcc Version: 9.4.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: fortran Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: john.harper at vuw dot ac.nz Target Milestone: --- List-directed reading of a number should give an error if it reads a semicolon and decimal is not COMMA but this 9-line program gave the output shown below it. (The ifort compiler gave a positive value of ios, which I believe was correct.) ! Does list-directed reading an integer allow some non-integer input? implicit none integer n,ios character(1):: testinput = ';' print *,'testinput = "',testinput,'"' read(testinput,*,decimal='point',iostat=ios) n print *,'n=',n,' ios=',ios if(ios>0) print *,'testinput was not an integer' end program john@johns-laptop:~/Jfh$ ./a.out testinput = ";" n= 1458129152 ios= 0 john@johns-laptop:~/Jfh$
