Re: [PR fortran/60091, patch] - Misleading error messages in rank-2 pointer assignment to rank-1 target

[Harald Anlauf <anlauf at gmx dot de>]

Hi Dominique,

how about the attached version?  It is quite verbose and produces
messages like

Error: Expected list of 'lower-bound-expr:' or list of
'lower-bound-expr:upper-bound-expr' at (1)

(I did check other compilers.  E.g. Intel and Oracle do print messages
using the 'legalese'.  But user-friendliness does count, too.)

OK for trunk?  Further comments?

Thanks,
Harald
