Subject: [Bug fortran/58307] New: Bogus error 'Function requires an argument list'
Date: Tue, 03 Sep 2013 12:30:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <bug-58307-4@http.gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/> (raw)

http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=58307

            Bug ID: 58307
           Summary: Bogus error 'Function requires an argument list'
           Product: gcc
           Version: 4.9.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: fortran
          Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
          Reporter: janus at gcc dot gnu.org

...


The following (invalid) code:


  implicit none

  type point
    real:: x,y,z
  end type

  real(point) :: this

end



produces (with 4.7, 4.8 and trunk) the error message

  real(point) :: this
            1
Error: Function 'point' requires an argument list at (1)

which is misleading, since 'point' is obviously not a function.



4.3 gives:

  real(point) :: this
            1
Error: Syntax error in structure constructor at (1)

which is not much better, since no structure constructor is involved here,
either.
