            Bug ID: 64321
           Summary: -ffixed-line-length-none doesn't work
           Product: gcc
           Version: 5.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Keywords: diagnostic, rejects-valid
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: fortran
          Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
          Reporter: burnus at gcc dot gnu.org

The following program consists of two lines:

      print *,
'aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa'
      end

With GCC 4.8 and 5, one gets the error:

      print *, 'aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
                1
Error: Unterminated character constant beginning at (1)

And that's independent of -ffixed-line-length-none or -ffixed-line-length-150.

--- Comment #1 from janus at gcc dot gnu.org ---
It actually works for me, at least when putting the test case into a .f file.
Is it possibly that your file has an f90 extension (meaning it's actually free
format)?

Would it be a bad idea to introduce a flag like -fline-length-none, which sets
the line length both for fixed and free format?

Close as WORKSFORME.

Yes, I seemingly had a .f90 file without -ffixed-form, when testing
https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2014-12/msg01289.html - and while busy
checking some other issues, I didn't closely inspect this patch.

I do not see a real need for a unified option.
