Bug ID: 107031 Summary: endfile truncates file at wrong position Product: gcc Version: 12.2.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: fortran Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: kishore96 at gmail dot com Target Milestone: --- SUMMARY ------- When `endfile` is used to truncate a file after a read statement, gfortran wrongly inserts end-of-file after the next line, rather than after the current line. STEPS TO REPRODUCE ------------------ 1. create the following program, truncate.f90: ```fortran program test_truncate integer :: num_rec, tmp, i, ioerr open(1, file="in.dat", action='readwrite') num_rec = 5 i = 1 ioerr = 0 do while (i <= num_rec .and. ioerr == 0) read(1, *, iostat=ioerr) tmp i = i+1 enddo !backspace(1) endfile(1) close(1) end program test_truncate ``` 2. Create the following text file, `in.dat` ``` 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 ``` 3. Compile the program: `gfortran truncate.f90` 4. Run the program: `./a.out` OBSERVED RESULTS ---------------- ```bash $cat in.dat 1 2 3 4 5 6 ``` EXPECTED RESULTS ---------------- ```bash $cat in.dat 1 2 3 4 5 ``` Since after the end of the loop, the current record is `5`, one would expect endfile to write an end-of-file record as the next record (e.g. <https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19957-01/805-4939/6j4m0vn8v/index.html>), leading to the result above. SOFTWARE VERSIONS ----------------- OS: Arch Linux gfortran: 12.2.0 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ---------------------- Intel ifort (version 19.0.5.281 20190815) produces the expected result. May be related to https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=52387, but I think not, since my example program doesn't use nonadvancing reads anywhere. Uncommenting the `backspace(1)` gives output ```bash $cat in.dat 1 2 3 4 ```
