:ADDPATCH fortran:
The attach patch modifies scanner.c to keep track of the number of continuation
lines in a statement. The F95 standard 3.3.1.4 says the number shall not exceed
39. F2003 changes this to 255. I have set the limit to default to 255. If
-pedantic is given, it is set to 39. If the limit is exceeded an error is issued.
I chose an error rather than warn because the standard states "shall not". If
others feel strongly that should be a warn, I can easily change.
I don't feel strongly about it, but I do think it should probably be a
warning at least when strict standard compliance is not requested;
extending the number is a relatively common extension.
Also, -std=f95 ought set the limit to 39, as well. I would suggest
using that rather than -pedantic in the test case because at some point
(hopefully not a double-digit number of years in the future!) -pedantic
will be pedantically enforcing f2003 compliance. :)
