Hi Harald and Bernhard,

Indeed, you are right about the space. However, the compile is intentional.
This catches the fix:
! { dg-final { scan-tree-dump-times "co._data1_length = 10;" 1 "original" }
}

Also, it helps to get the PR number right!

I was rushing to get the patch out before leaving for work and so even more
error prone than usual....

Cheers

Paul
