--- Comment #11 from Vittorio Zecca <zeccav at gmail dot com> 2011-09-16 07:22:09 UTC --- If you add character(9) s s=2.ip.8 gfortran, and g95, compile successfully. On the contrary gfortran fails to parse write(6,fmt=2.ip.8) To me, it looks like the parser does not handle correctly the format specification as a default-char-expression defined in fortran 95 R913 By the way, the following fails as well, should I open a new bug? write(6,fmt=1_'()') Again, in my opinion, recursive I/O, allowed or not, has nothing to do with parsing format specifications.
