--- Comment #2 from Jerry DeLisle <jvdelisle at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
The original test case is rather clever. With this slightly modified, placing
quotes around the 'string' in the buffer.
character(80) buffer,a
buffer="'33;44'"
print *, buffer
read(buffer,*,decimal="point") a
print*,a
end
We get:
$ gfc -g -static pr121234.f90
$ ./a.out
'33;44'
33;44
Without the quotes added in and using comma as a valid string separator:
character(80) buffer,a
buffer="33,44"
print *, buffer
read(buffer,*,decimal="point") a
print*,a
end
$ gfc -g -static pr121234.f90
$ ./a.out
33,44
33
When reading strings, not enclosed in quotes, commas and semi-colons are valid
separators.
Now I go read the details in the standard.
