Description Daniel Franke 2010-11-04 13:03:55 UTC 
At r745, this code shows up as file-level variable in the generated output:

      character*(*) function a()
      end function

Variables
character *(* 	a )()

Parsing in fortranscanner is fine as far as I could trace it. As the output is quite similar to a C-style function pointer, something might be broken in the doc generation part?!
Comment 1 albert 2010-11-04 19:19:55 UTC 
It is not only this function, I see this too in something like:
CHARACTER(LEN=rpt *LEN(string)) as length, so it looks like it is related to the *.
Currently I'm working on the bugs 565715 / 572736 and made some progress here, saw a.o. that in the entries the language was not set and that character strings with * were seen as functions. I hope that I will be able to provide a patch soon, handling the mentioned bugs as well as this bug.

I cannot set this bug to duplicate, but it is nearly a duplicate of 565715 and the problem has been solved by the patch as provided with bug 565715.
