It's Toon's call, but I think g77 should issue an error and
abort. The g77 info contains a -fno-ugly-args option. I
would think you should need -fugly-args to compile the code
in question.
I think I agree with that stance.
Of course, IMHO, g95 should be backwards compatable with g77 :)
This may not happen, because Fortran 95 has deleted a few
features from Fortran 77.
Ah yes, the language has. However, as compiler writers we could decide
to include the complete language g77 compiles into the language g95
compiles.
This would have the obvious benefit of making g77 superfluous and
reducing our maintenance burden.
