gfortran does not allow character arrays with varying component lengths

Question

See the example below

 program test

 character(10),dimension(5):: models = (/\"feddes.swp\", \"jarvis89.swp\", \"jarvis10.swp\" ,   \"pem.swp\", \"van.swp\"         


        

Answer 1

The original code is accepted by ifort but it is not standard fortran, hence the error from gfortran. If you supply the option -std to ifort it will print warnings when the compiler allows extensions such as this.
