Re: Emacs and GFortran

   Have you actually read gfortran source code other than error.c?

I have.

   I've already posted a counter example that will not allow a
   person to jump to the location of the error.  You need to 
   read the entire error message to decide where the error is.

Your example doesn't counter anything, this is your example with GNU
style error messages (simply removing "In file", and adding a extra
semi-colon):

| l.inc:1:
| 
|      Included at l.f90:2
| 
|    integer i
|            1
| l.f90:3:
| 
|    call i(j)
|            2
| Error: 'i' at (1) has a type, which is not consistent with the CALL at (2)

Which will work with any program that parses GNU style error messages
by producing two places where one can go to; the user can choose which
place to edit.  It doesn't have to catch the exact place, it is after
all not a substitute for a brain.

Can you please apply one of those patches?  They both fix the problem.
