I don't mind a warning which is emitted with -Wall, but there is too much noise with standard compilation flags, given that the trouble you mention is just potential, but need not be real. Note that with standard F95 one does not have allocatable derived type components, so in the original code where the example is derived from pointers are the only possibility. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=38487
