I'm not sure but I think you'd see the same issue on a character variable that is not a constant. gfc_convert_expr() doesn't handle conversion of characters into different strings lengths, and it probably shouldn't be extended to do that (it's a special case that is only used in type-spec array constructors). So we probably need to add some code to handle that instead of calling gfc_convert_expr() when we have character variables. (Maybe a function to do just that already exists in expr.c.) -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=27997
