Given a test program source file (fixed form) containing #include directives starting in column-1, FTN95 refuses to compile the file.

Code:
      program fppbug
      implicit none
#include "size.inc"
      print *,NSIZE
      end program

where the included file contains the single line

Code:
      integer :: NSIZE = 100


FTN95 says:

Code:
ftn95 /CFPP fppbug.f
[FTN95/Win32 Ver. 8.92.0 Copyright (c) Silverfrost Ltd 1993-2022]
ERROR S:\LANG\ftn95\fppbug.F 3:  Invalid characters in label field of FIXED format source
ERROR S:\LANG\ftn95\fppbug.F 3:  Statement not recognised
ERROR S:\LANG\ftn95\fppbug.F 4:  NSIZE must appear in a type declaration because IMPLICIT NONE has been used
    3 ERRORS  [<FPPBUG> FTN95 v8.92.0]
*** Compilation failed

The usual convention for C processor directives in fixed form (Fortran 77) source is that the directives start in column-1. For example, see the Sun/Oracle page https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19205-01/820-4180/man1/fpp.1.html , where it says:
Quote:
All fpp directives start with the hash symbol (#) as the first character on a line.

I think that it is only the output of the preprocessor that should be required to conform to Fortran-77 rules regarding columns 1-6 and 72-80, not the directives themselves.
--------------------
Note: The example code is silly, but the issue exists with older Fortran 77 packages such as MINUIT from CERN. See, for example, lines 12 to 15 in the file https://github.com/ramos/minuit/blob/master/minuit.F .

This bug has now been fixed for the next release of FTN95 (after v8.95).
