[Bug fortran/18566] New: Can vary constants

[Thomas dot Koenig at online dot de]

Should the value of pi change...

The following is very probably illegal code.
Still, it would be nice if this could segfault
instead of silently doing the Wrong Thing.

$ cat variation-constants.f90
module a1
contains
  subroutine foo(b)
    real :: b
    b = 42.
  end subroutine foo
end module a1

program main
  use a1
  real, parameter :: pi = 3.1415926535
  call foo(pi)
  print *,'pi equals ', pi
end program main
$ gfortran variation-constants.f90 && ./a.out
 pi equals    42.00000
$ gfortran -v
