In terms of -fdump-tree-original (all(?) other dumps place the assembler
name in parentheses) and for the special handling of "main" in the
middle end, having MAIN__ everywhere would be useful. Except for the
warnings; having
test.f90: In function 'helloworld':
test.f90:3: warning: 'i' is used uninitialized in this function
is better readable for the user than a
test.f90: In function 'MAIN__':
test.f90:2: warning: 'i' is used uninitialized in this function
Frankly, I don't have any idea how to solve the problem while retaining
the proper names in the middle-end diagnostics. But of cause on can
decide that the diagnostic output is less of a problem and live with
"MAIN__" in the middle-end diagnostics. (The front-end diagnostic
message are not effected.)
