Fortran2008 support patchy

MatthewHambley opened this issue · comments

Although the Fortran analyser looks to be set up for F2008 parsing it doesn't seem to be working, at least in part. For instance the newunit= parameter to open is not recognised. This may be a genuine fault in fParser but the code is suspect regardless.

It looks like this argument is not supported in v0.0.16 of fParser, which is what we are currently using, but the dodgynes of the Fortran parsing still stands.

On second thoughts, the Fortran parsing is always going to be a characteristic of the parser used.
