------- Comment #4 from domob at gcc dot gnu dot org 2008-07-24 16:31 ------- This seems to be still in there... Any interest that I work on this? What's about emitting a warning if either len= or a substring-reference expression is of a KIND that can have larger values than the machine can handle? As suggested in comment #2 by Tobias S.
That is truely not too difficult. For constant expressions, one could also try to give an error whenever the value is too large. Should I work on this or do you think that's not important or even wanted? -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=31243
