[Bug libfortran/17871] New: libgfortran, g77: regression, P edit descriptor, funny output

[anlauf at hep dot tu-darmstadt dot de]

Hi,

I get strange output with gfortran and g77 with the following code:

      write (*,'(3p,2e15.3)') 0.0, 1.0
      end

Running the g77 compiled code gives:

      000.0E+00      100.0E-02

while the gfortran compiled code gives:

      000.0E-03      100.0E-02

While the second number (1.0) prints OK in both cases,
the first (0.0) looks really strange to me.  Other compilers give:

        0.0E+00      100.0E-02

which looks most natural to me.

I cannot find anything in the standard prohibiting the result of g77
or even that of gfortran, but I consider both as "surprising".

Cheers,
-ha
