[Bug fortran/35161] New: Bind(C): Procedures with different interface and same C binding label

[burnus at gcc dot gnu dot org]

I think it is formally valid to have multiple times the same C binding label
(at least for procedures). At least I cannot find anything in the standard
which says otherwise.

Currently, both gfortran and NAG f95 reject the following program while g95 and
ifort accept it.

(when writing this, the question was not yet answered)

NAG f95:
Error: aaa.f90: Duplicate binding label 'xxx' for external procedure XXX_1 and
external procedure XXX_2

gfortran:
Error: Binding label 'xxx' in interface body at (1) collides with the global
entity 'xxx' at (2)

interface xxx
    integer function xxx_1( y ) bind( c, name = "xxx" )
        use iso_c_binding
        real(c_float), intent(inout) :: y
    end function
    integer function xxx_2( y ) bind( c, name = "xxx" )
        use iso_c_binding
        real(c_float), intent(inout), dimension(*) :: y
    end function
end interface
end
