Bug ID: 126854
Summary: CALL ... USING "literal" should be passed by CONTENT
-> is this implied with -Wno-call-literal?
Product: gcc
Version: 17.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: cobol
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: simonsobisch at gnu dot org
Target Milestone: ---
That's very likely an extension, just not supported by gcobol (also not with
dialect gnu - while GnuCOBOL supports that)
call "SYSTEM" using "ls * > ls.out"
GCC15 had a parsing error, GCC16 changed that to
<source>:11:32: error: cannot pass 'ls * > ls.out' BY REFERENCE
[-Wcall-literal]
11 | call "SYSTEM" using "ls * > ls.out"
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
and compiles with -Wno-call-literal (which may should be "included" in -dialect
gnu).
But ... is the literal actually copied to a local variable of that size and
then this data-copy passed BY REFERENCE under the hood (which is what BY
CONTENT does)?
