The following does not make sense:

MODULE m
  TYPE, PRIVATE :: type; ...
CONTAINS
  SUBROUTINE foo()
    TYPE :: bar
      TYPE(type) :: x

The last line is rejected with "The component 'x' is a PRIVATE type and cannot
be a component of 'type', which is PUBLIC at (1)"

The error is complete nonsense - TYPE(BAR) is not even used as dummy argument
(which would be valid since F2003).


The message only makes sense for the interface part of a module:

MODULE m
  TYPE, PRIVATE :: type; ...
  TYPE, PUBLIC :: bar
    type(type) :: x

That case is valid Fortran 2003 and invalid Fortran 95 ("Component X of type T2
exposes PRIVATE type T1" as NAG f95 states). -- gfortran rejects this
unconditionally, however.


Thus there are two bugs:
- Local TYPE declarations in procedures are wrongly rejected
- Public types with private components are allowed in F2003 only,
  s/gfc_error/gfc_std_notify(GFC_STD2003/.

module m
  implicit none

  type :: t1
    integer :: i
  end type

  type,public :: t2
    ! OK in F2003, wrong in F95
    type(t1) :: j  ! { dg-error "Fortran 2003: ......." }
  end type
contains
    subroutine sub()
      type :: t3
        integer x
        type(t1) :: j  ! OK (F95 + F2003) - no dummy argument
      end type                    ! (dummy arg is OK only in F2003)
    end subroutine
end module m
