Re: [gfortran,patch] Improve error messages for bounds-checking and a few other cases

Yes, indeed! That's a big improvement.


Commited on mainline. I don't think it's necessary to backport to 4.1, I know (from off-list mail) that Paul thinks otherwise.

What is the opinion of other people here?

I am split on this issue. I have back ported all but about two patches to 4.1. Severe regressions I think should go into 4.1 for sure. The items I did not commit to 4.1 were mostly obscure legacy stuff.

Patches that fix non-compliance to f95 or breakages I think should also go to 4.1. In the case of this patch for an error message, I don't think there is strong reason to back port it.

I don't think any of this is worth arguing over too much. Back porting is pretty easy, so there really is no big driver not to. Its more a matter of what you have time for.

Regards,

Jerry
