Bug ID: 87212 Summary: Declaration with array constructor: Error message on valid code Product: gcc Version: 9.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: fortran Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: juergen.reuter at desy dot de Target Milestone: --- The following is from c.l.f. Jan 26, 2018 but seems to never have been filed as a bug report here (?), though Dominique d'Humieres presented a workaround for the code below. The following standard-conforming code is not parsed correctly by gfortran: bug.f90:7:18: 7 | [(product([(j,j=1,i)]),i=0,13)] | 1 Error: Invalid character in name at (1) The problem dates back to at least gfortran 5.4. program bug use ISO_FORTRAN_ENV implicit none integer i integer(INT64) j integer(INT64), parameter :: A(0:13) = & [(product([(j,j=1,i)]),i=0,13)] integer(INT64) B(0:13) B = [(product([(j,j=1,i)]),i=0,13)] write(*,*) 'A =' write(*,*) A write(*,*) 'B =' write(*,*) B end program bug
