Bug ID: 88169
Summary: Rejects USE rename of namelist group
Product: gcc
Version: 8.2.1
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: fortran
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: neil.n.carlson at gmail dot com
Target Milestone: ---
The current 8.2.1 compiler rejects this example,
module foo_nml
real :: x
namelist /foo/ x
end module
program main
use foo_nml, only: bar => foo
x = 42
write(*,nml=bar)
end program
with this error,
f951: Error: Namelist foo cannot be renamed by USE association to bar
I believe this is valid code. Section 11.2.2 par 2 (F2008) explicitly includes
namelist groups in the list of entities that may be accessed via use
association, and there is no subsequent restriction on a namelist group
appearing in a rename that I could find. FWIW, both the Intel and NAG compilers
accept this code as valid.
