The Fortran compiler (gfortran) has been fixed to correctly handle character functions invoked as stop codes, aligning with the F2008 standard. Previously, the compiler would reject valid character function invocations, leading to incorrect error checking. This patch adjusts the matching and resolving logic to allow these constructs and checks them later in the resolution phase.
