This is, if you will forgive my saying so, a bit absurd. I think we've been discussing this problem for three or four years now and we're still waiting for a new and more accurate attribute. I hope there's at least some clarification of the text for DW_CC_program included; if it's not for the entry point, and it's not for the Fortran main program, I have no idea what it's for. I see that FX is considering implementing it for gfortran now. http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=10220 -- Daniel Jacobowitz CodeSourcery
