Fortran preprocessor stripping off 2 sets of quotes

[4f0drlp7eyj3]

I am trying to compile a source file which contains the statement compiled = & COMPILATION_DATE with the command mpif90 -save-temps -i8 -g -I. -I/projects/chch5350/Packages/nwchem-6.6/src/include -I/projects/chch5350/Packages/nwchem-6.6/src/tools/install/include -DEXT_INT -DLINUX -DLINUX64 -DPARALLEL_DIAG -DCOMPILATION_DATE="'`date +%a_%b_%d_%H:%M:%S_%Y`'" -DCOMPILATION_DIR="'/projects/chch5350/Packages/nwchem-6.6'" -DNWCHEM_BRANCH="'6.6'" -c -o nwchem.o nwchem.F This produces an error, nwchem.F(471): error #5082: Syntax error, found ':' when expecting one of: ; & Fri_Sep_01_16:24:30_2017 --------------------^ nwchem.F(471): error #5082: Syntax error, found END-OF-STATEMENT when expecting one of: , ) & Fri_Sep_01_16:24:30_2017 -------------------------------^ nwchem.F(471): error #6404: This name does not have a type, and must have an explicit type. [FRI_SEP_01_16] & Fri_Sep_01_16:24:30_2017 etc. Not surprisingly, the intermediate file nwchem.i shows compiled = & Fri_Sep_01_16:26:18_2017 where the inner quotes that are supposed to be retained in the substitution during preprocessing are being stripped off, so the compiler is interpreting the date string as Fortran syntax. How can I stop that from happening? fpp alone leaves them on, so they are getting stripped off after that. -bash-4.2$ mpif90 --version ifort (IFORT) 17.0.4 20170411 Copyright (C) 1985-2017 Intel Corporation.

I guess this is not Intel mpi so it's not clear who is responsible for preprocessing. You can also try preprocessing in a separate step possibly using gfortran to see if the result works with ifort.

You might have some success by modifying your make file to use "echo" to construct the

   compiled = "xxx"

statement into a Fortran include file. As an example into "when.fi" and then use the Fortran include statement to include the file in the appropriate line of your program.

Hi Tim, The build is using Intel MPI, just redirecting the mpif90 wrapper to ifort. Some further environment info: -bash-4.2$ env ...

SOLVED, just needed to modify ( "' ) and ( '" ) nested quotes in the makefile to ( \" ), and build works fine.
