[Bug fortran/36894] New: question on gfortran character*(*)

[jhuddleston at hughes dot net]

I have older fortran libraries supported by federal people that use the
character*(*) input_string for an incoming string, The gcc 3.4.4 supports it
but the current (subversion 138025) seems to support character(*).

I was wondering if this is a command line argument to support older fortran
code?

I changed it to character(*) in the fortran but it now fails on the open and
says that the file '' is not available even though the print statement shows
that it is there. Before I changed it, the file name would not appear. Now with
gdb, I can see the filename but open will not see it.

Thank you

John
