BUG: !MS$ATTRIBUTES in Interface Fails with Free-Form Source

MORE INFORMATION

In the following sample code, when the compiler parses the line containing the !ms$attributes metacommand in the interface block, only the variable "i" is correctly assigned the value attribute. The variable "j" is not processed and therefore retains the default Fortran reference attribute.

Sample Code to Demonstrate Problem and Workarounds

! Compile options needed: none
! required extension: .F90
      program test

! uncomment the following line for the first workaround:
!!ms$nofreeform
          interface
              subroutine thesub(i, j)
                  integer i, j
! comment the following line for the second workaround:
                   !ms$attributes value :: i, j
! uncomment the following two lines for the second workaround:
!                   !ms$attributes value :: i
!                   !ms$attributes value :: j
              end subroutine
          end interface
! uncomment the following line for the first workaround:
!!ms$freeform

          integer i, j
          i = 1
          j = 2
          call thesub(i, j)
      end

      subroutine thesub(i, j)
          integer i, j
          !ms$attributes value :: i, j
          print *, i, j         ! should print "1 2"
      end subroutine
