Accessing something like len(f_2d%class) where f_2d is a multidimensional object gives a segmentation fault in the compiler.
Example: module testLen implicit none public :: Derived type, public:: Deriv character(len=9) :: class end type Deriv type(Deriv), private, dimension(2) :: f_2d contains subroutine Derived() character(len=len(f_2d%class)) :: typ ! See defs of f_2d typ = "Hallo " end subroutine Derived end module testLen -- Summary: Segmentation fault, when accessing len(attribute) of multidimensional object Product: gcc Version: 4.0.2 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: critical Priority: P3 Component: fortran AssignedTo: unassigned at gcc dot gnu dot org ReportedBy: Heiko dot Klein at gmx dot net GCC build triplet: i686-pc-linux-gnu GCC host triplet: i686-pc-linux-gnu GCC target triplet: i686-pc-linux-gnu http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=25681
