Folks,
I’m brand-new to using Photran and I seem
to have a problem right off the bat. It seems that the syntax
parser does not like the format of comments in my code.
A sample snippet is as follows:
**********************************************************************
*
Copyright
2013 *
**********************************************************************
*
program bernie
implicit none
print *,'Hello World'
end program Bernie
In the “Outline” window I see a Syntax
Exception listed. The Text of the exception is:
SyntaxException:
Syntax error: Unexpected * (/Ez5_code/bl/bernie.f, line 2,
column 1). Expected one of the following: block, close,
contains, abstract, class, identifier, return, interface,
call, end of statement, go, print, subroutine, stop,
allocatable, end, private, doubleprecision, all, implicit, if,
end of input, dimension, goto, write, data, submodule, where,
recursive, blockdata, select, allstop, codimension, import,
use, intent, pause, backspace, endfile, selectcase, open,
associate, elemental, character, nullify, rewind, bind, do,
pointer, syncall, program, syncimages, syncmemory, wait,
unlock, optional, double, module, read, allocate, equivalence,
integer, entry, real, cycle, procedure, pure, integer
constant, lock, intrinsic, format, namelist, asynchronous,
critical, value, logical, forall, save, sync, inquire, assign,
external, volatile, complex, protected, common, endprogram,
public, enddo, contiguous, impure, enum, parameter, target,
doublecomplex, type, deallocate, function, continue, exit
When I add an exclamation point as the
first character fir the first 4 lines th syntax error
disappears:
!**********************************************************************
!*
Copyright
2013 *
!**********************************************************************
!*
program bernie
implicit none
print *,'Hello World'
end program Bernie
Why isn’t an asterisk (‘*’) in column 1 not
recognized as an error? Is this something I can change in the
configuration?
Thanks!
