[Bug fortran/21459] New: Fortran runtime error: Unexpected end of format string

[kamaraju at gmail dot com]

Consider the following test code

program format_string
  implicit none
  character(len=*), parameter :: rform='(F15.5)', &
  cform="(' (', F15.5, ',' F15.5, ') ')"

  call print_a_number(cform)
contains
subroutine print_a_number(style)
  character(len=*) :: style
  write(*, style) cmplx(0.0, 0.0)
end subroutine print_a_number
end program format_string

This program compiles fine. But gives a runtime error.

I am using Debian Sid distribution, gcc-snapshot 20050507-1 package.

The above program compiles and runs fine with Absoft Fortran 90/95 compiler and
with intel fortran compiler 8.1 Build 20040921. The interaction with Absoft
compiler looks as follows

$f90 format_string.f90
