The Fortran front end in GCC now provides more precise and helpful error messages for OpenMP and OpenACC syntax mistakes. Previously, a generic “Unclassifiable OpenMP/OpenACC directive” error was often reported, even for valid directives with syntax errors, because internal matching logic would reset the error locus. The updated parser now retains more context and reports “Syntax error in statement” with a correct pointer to the error location, making it easier for developers to identify and fix issues in their parallel programming directives.
