Whether it should be considered to be in gfc_trans_pointer_assignment itself or in gfc_conv_expr_descriptor should be thought through. It seems to me that fixing the latter would open the same can of worms that we have discussed for gfc_trans_assignment. This time, I am not sure that there is solution, except for the third. Using temporaries will not work, since the temporary would have to be updated each time the target value changed. Modifying the stride will not work for the same reasons as for a non-pointer assignment. If size is used, can we be sure that the rest of the compiler will pick it up? -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=18022
