Re: [Patch, gfortran] common blocks getting mangled in nested modules
Richard,
My apologies if this is off the point and is obvious to all. But I
have run into people who forget parts of it - particularly the bit
about different instances of a common having different variable names.
And I run into a lot of people (including several on J3) who keep
forgetting that USE accessibility relates only to names and not to the
underlying objects. It seems safer to belabor the point than to
possibly let a misunderstanding propagate.
Apologies are certainly not necessary. As it happens, I was well aware
of this. However, I have been reading the standard quite carefully to
ensure compliance and have learned much that I did not know before.
gfortran is less broken than it was but I am sharply aware of what
remains to be done!
Cheers
Paul T
