Have you even looked at the complexity of the gfortran error mechanism?
Run this source code through gfortran
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=9570
To make gfortran conform to
http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/standards.html#index-error-messages_002c-formatting-31
requires more than the 2 line patch posted earlier. There are
at least 1022 possible routes to show_locus.
troutmask:sgk[207] grep gfc_error *c | wc -l
891
troutmask:sgk[208] grep gfc_warning *c | wc -l
64
troutmask:sgk[210] grep gfc_notify *c | wc -l
67
You will need to audit each and every one to ensure that the messages
meet your expectations. You'll then need to fix the testsuite.
gfortran's error mechanism is fragile, but works.
If you and/or any of the other whiners in this thread want to contribute
to gfortran then fix an actual problem. It's not hard to find the list
http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/GFortran
ICE-ON-VALID-CODE, REJECTS-VALID & WRONG-CODE 32 bugs on 27th October 2006
ICE-ON-INVALID-CODE & ACCEPTS-INVALID 32 bugs on 27th October 2006
DIAGNOSTIC 31 bugs on 27th October 2006
Some of these bugs have been opened for years (yes, that's years).
There are too few developers and too much to do.
