The code in gfc_match_allocate() checks for '::' only if
match_type_spec() return MATCH_YES. On MATCH_NO or MATCH_ERROR,
then gfc_match_allocate() assumes the first argument is an
allocatable pointer or variable.

It looks like the locus pointer '1' is not handled correctly.
I've updated my patch to point at 'tx'
laptop:kargl[206] gfc4x -o z df.f90
df.f90:2.9:
allocate(tx :: x(5))
1
Error: Allocate-object at (1) is not a nonprocedure pointer or an allocatable
variable
At this point, gfortran has never looked beyond 'tx', so
it does not know the '::' is the next token.

I'll look at the patch again. I think a less invasive
patch would be to replace gfc_match_symbol() in
match_derived_type_spec() with
char name[GFC_MAX_SYMBOL_LEN + 1];
if (gfc_match ("%n", name) != MATCH_YES)
{
gfc_current_locus = old_locus;
return MATCH_NO;
}
gfc_find_symbol (name, NULL, 1, &derived);
Here, derived will be either NULL or point at a symbol
in the current name space, including parent name spaces.
The issue that really concerns me is that gfc_match_type_is()
and gfc_match_class_is() both call match_derived_type_spec()
directly. I do not know the details of your OO work, and
simply don't want to break it.
