------- Additional Comments From tkoenig at gcc dot gnu dot org 2005-06-22 11:41 ------- This can be made to fail on any architecture by increasing the amount of shifting:
$ cat eoshift-really-fails.f90 program main character(len=20) line write (line,'(I4)') eoshift((/1, 3/), 1000) end program main $ gfortran eoshift-really-fails.f90 $ ./a.out Segmentation fault $ gfortran -v Using built-in specs. Target: ia64-unknown-linux-gnu Configured with: ../gcc-4.1-20050618/configure --prefix=/home/zfkts --enable- languages=c,f95 Thread model: posix gcc version 4.1.0 20050618 (experimental) The problem is that the code tries to overwrite more than it should for shift > len. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=21594
