Hi!
Compiling the following:
subroutine Test ( Verbose, Position )
logical, intent(in) :: Verbose
integer, intent(in) :: Position
integer, parameter :: Anchor = 666, Cut_off = 3
if ( ( Verbose ) .and. ( abs ( Position - Anchor ) le. Cut_off ) ) then
write(*,*) "Been there, got the tee-shirt!"
endif
return
end subroutine Test
Yields this quite misleading error message:
Source.f90:5.50:
if ( ( Verbose ) .and. ( abs ( Position - Anchor ) le. Cut_off ) ) then
1
Error: Expected a right parenthesis in expression at (1)
Source.f90:7.3:
endif
1
Error: Expecting END SUBROUTINE statement at (1)
whereas the typo is actually a missing "."
For the record, the Lahey compiler manages an intelligible message, the Intel
one also (with some further garbage), but the Sun one gives the same answer as
GFortran...
Cheers!
Philippe
PS: I am using:
gfortran -v
