Some legacy codes rely on allowing READ
or WRITE
after the EOF file marker in order to find the end of a file. GNU Fortran normally rejects these codes with a run-time error message and suggests the user consider BACKSPACE
or REWIND
to properly position the file before the EOF marker. As an extension, the run-time error may be disabled using -std=legacy.
