Subject: [Bug fortran/56520] New: Syntax error causes misleading message: "Invalid character in name"
Date: Mon, 04 Mar 2013 13:44:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <bug-56520-4@http.gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/> (raw)


http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=56520

             Bug #: 56520
           Summary: Syntax error causes misleading message: "Invalid
                    character in name"
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: gcc
           Version: 4.7.1
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: fortran
        AssignedTo: unassigned@gcc.gnu.org
        ReportedBy: arjen.markus@deltares.nl


An extra parenthesis at the end of a statement leads to the error message:
   Invalid character in name at (1)

The message has nothing to do with the actual error.

Here is a small program to reproduce it:

! misleading.f90 --
!     Syntax error is reported with a misleading message
!
program misleading
    implicit none

    real :: a, b, c

    a = 1.0
    b = 1.0

    c = exp(-a*b) )
end program misleading
