possible bug with !DIR$ directive and option /stand:f08

[johnyb_]

Take the following code:

subroutine test
	!DIR$ ATTRIBUTES DLLEXPORT :: test

    print *,"if this line exceeds 132 characters, the directive makes the compilation fail if using /stand:f08                                 1"
end subroutine

if I compile it with

ifort sub.f90 /c

I get no warnings or errors.

If however I compile it with 

ifort sub.f90 /c /stand:f08

I get:

C:\TEMP\x>ifort sub.f90 /c /stand:f08

If I remove the !DIR$ directive I get a warning about the line length, but no error

It does look like a bug. I reported this to Development.

I found this morning that the bug seems only to appear when using !DIR$, not with !DEC$.

According to the documentation !DEC$ is equivalent to !DIR$ so I will use this as a workaround

Thank you for the added detail. I added that to the internal report. I'm glad you found the work around.
