- Subject: fortran character strings in common blocks
Is gdb supposed to be able to print the values of character strings
that belong to COMMON blocks? I find that a character string declared as...
PARAMETER (COMMAX=132)
CHARACTER*(COMMAX) COMLYN
COMMON /CCOMND/ COMLYN
that I get an error...
(gdb) print COMLYN
No symbol "COMLYN" in current context.
even though I can assign this character string to
a locally declared character string (not in a
COMMON block) and then print this string with gdb.
Thanks in advance for any clarifications on this issue.
Jack
ps This is with gfortran from the current gcc 4.0 branch.
