Consider the following little Fortran test program called prog.f:

If this code is compiled with a recent gfortran version, it will fail with the following error (example here OS 11.3, 64-bit[*] but the same happens on RHEL6):

$> gfortran -O2 -Wall -g prog.f $> a.out At line 8 of file prog.f Fortran runtime error: End of file

If the code is compiled with an old(er) version of gfortran, or if the code is compiled with the Intel compiler, it will work:

$> ifort -O2 -warn all -g prog.f $> a.out failed to decode c_text=i should always reach this line

Bug or feature or stupid mistake on my side?

I forgot to mention that the program also starts working if one of the currently commented out ("ccc" lines) read statements is used. The second one should, however, have read: ccc read(c_text(:len),'(F9.3)',err=20) value Sorry, my mistake.
