Taken from my remark to PR31320, http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2007-07/msg01457.html
The generated executable leaks memory: 96 bytes in 1 blocks are definitely lost in loss record 1 of 2 at 0x4C22D06: malloc (in /usr/lib64/valgrind/amd64-linux/vgpreload_memcheck.so) by 0x40122B: MAIN__ (alloc_comp_assign_2.f90:11) by 0x401EEB: main (fmain.c:22) 96 bytes in 1 blocks are definitely lost in loss record 2 of 2 at 0x4C22D06: malloc (in /usr/lib64/valgrind/amd64-linux/vgpreload_memcheck.so) by 0x400BCA: MAIN__ (alloc_comp_assign_2.f90:10) by 0x401EEB: main (fmain.c:22) for this stripped down test case type :: a integer, allocatable :: i(:) end type a type :: b type (a), allocatable :: at(:) end type b type(a) :: x(2) type(b) :: y(2) integer i y(1) = b ((/x(1),x(2)/)) y(2) = b ((/x(2),x(1)/)) forall (i=1:2) y(i) = b ((/x(i)/)) end Paul remarked: The testcase that you sent me breaks gfortran in other places and probably should have a PR all of its very own.
