Spin-off from PR 42144 (comment #6). As the following code demonstrates, polymorphic type-bound operators are buggy:
module foo_module implicit none private public :: foo type :: foo contains procedure :: times => times_foo procedure :: assign => assign_foo generic :: operator(*) => times generic :: assignment(=) => assign end type contains function times_foo(this,factor) result(product) class(foo) ,intent(in) :: this class(foo) ,allocatable :: product real, intent(in) :: factor end function subroutine assign_foo(lhs,rhs) class(foo) ,intent(inout) :: lhs class(foo) ,intent(in) :: rhs end subroutine end module module bar_module use foo_module ,only : foo implicit none private public :: bar type ,extends(foo) :: bar private real :: x=1. contains procedure :: times => times_bar procedure :: assign => assign_bar end type contains subroutine assign_bar(lhs,rhs) class(bar) ,intent(inout) :: lhs class(foo) ,intent(in) :: rhs select type(rhs) type is (bar) lhs%x = rhs%x end select end subroutine function times_bar(this,factor) result(product) class(bar) ,intent(in) :: this real, intent(in) :: factor class(foo), allocatable :: product select type(this) type is (bar) allocate(product,source=this) select type(product) type is(bar) product%x = this%x*factor end select end select end function end module program main use foo_module ,only : foo use bar_module ,only : bar implicit none type(bar) :: unit call rescale(unit,3.141592654) contains subroutine rescale(this,scale) class(foo) ,intent(inout) :: this real, intent(in) :: scale this = this*scale end subroutine end program This test case is compiled flawlessly, but the generated code is wrong: rescale (struct .class.foo & restrict this, real(kind=4) & restrict scale) { { struct .class.foo.a D.1631; D.1631 = times_foo ((struct .class.foo *) this, (real(kind=4) *) scale); assign_foo ((struct .class.foo *) this, &D.1631); } } The operators are always resolved to the base-class procedures. Polymorphic treatment is missing. -- Summary: [OOP] poylmorphic operators do not work Product: gcc Version: 4.5.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Keywords: wrong-code Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: fortran AssignedTo: unassigned at gcc dot gnu dot org ReportedBy: janus at gcc dot gnu dot org http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=42385
