Dear GCC developers/users, in gfortran 7.3 all occurrences like if (b>3)stop"b must be no larger than 3" produce the error "Error: Blank required in STOP statement near (1)". This was not the case in gcc 5.x and it breaks compatibility with a lot of code. Will this change remain? Is it related to the "non-constant stop codes" of gcc 7? Can it be overridden? Best regards /Jonatan
