[Bug fortran/32814] New: backslash zero no longer writes null in string

[jhettmer at doprad dot com]

Related to resolved bug 30278.  The handling of backslash has fundamentally
changed since 3.2.2 and earlier.  Specifically it USED to allow inserting a
null at the end of a string (CRITICAL for communicating with C) and I see now
that there is a list of honored excapes and null (\0) seems not to be one of
them.  The still large Fortran part of our application (55000 lines) contains
nearly a thousand instances of \0 in strings needed by newer C functions and
appending //char(0) everywhere is decidedly ugly as well as expensive.  I
believe this should be considered a bug.

This bug has been fixed in 4.3.  This was pr32223.  There are no plans to back
port this at the moment.  Have you tried using binaries for 4.3 from Fortran
wiki?

Or build it youself?
