Hi Paul,

I concur – and as I wrote both in the patch email and in the PR, it is
not straight forward which message is showing with which setting.

Actually, I think there are many straight-forward ways to fix it
"properly" but they tend to hide some nicer error messages in favour of
a more generic one. Only by taking into account all the diagnostic and
hidden/delayed diagnostic, the patch becomes complex. (-:

Your patch works as advertised and regtests OK (with the patch for
PR93660 on board as well). Is NULL the only case where this can happen?

I am not sure whether any other code would profit form getting one of
the attributes conditionally assigned in intrinsic.c.

Otherwise, I think that's the only code which verifies like that it in
such a way whether an intrinsic function was used. I think the reason
that it does so is because 'null' is turned early during parsing into
EXPR_NULL, which is not a function and, hence, bypasses some of the
later checking code in resolve.c.


Just to aid my understanding, I tried:
diff --git a/gcc/fortran/primary.c b/gcc/fortran/primary.c

--- a/gcc/fortran/primary.c
+++ b/gcc/fortran/primary.c
@@ -3922,6 +3922,9 @@ gfc_match_rvalue (gfc_expr **result)

+      if (!strcmp (sym->name, "NULL") || !strcmp (sym->name, "null"))
+       sym->attr.intrinsic = 1;
+
       break;

     generic_function:

which also works and regtests OK. (I couldn't remember whether
sym->name is upper or lower case at this stage.)

Should be always lowercase, I think. But I am also not sure that your
aid-understanding patch will work correctly with 'external null' or a
use-/host-associated/interface 'null' procedure or some array variable.
Inside intrinsic.c, we are at least sure that we did get an intrinsic
function after having passed all intrinsic checks.
