--- Comment #9 from Tobias Burnus <burnus at gcc dot gnu.org> 2010-12-01 15:38:52 UTC --- (In reply to comment #8) > For automatic and static arrays, different code paths are chosen. I think one should try to get some checking working for INTEGER_CST_P only, i.e. independent whether one uses automatic or static arrays or in the ALLOCATE statement, a compile-time error should be printed. I am not sure that one needs a run-time error - and if so, only with -fcheck=mem. I think one should do something like: if (INTEGER_CST_P (size)) { if (!host_integerp (DECL_SIZE_UNIT (size), 1)) goto too_large = true; if (TREE_INT_CST_LOW (size) > TYPE_MAX_VALUE (sizetype)/TREE_INT_CST_LOW (element_size) goto too_large; } if (!host_integerp (DECL_SIZE_UNIT (decl), 1)) goto too_large; too_large: gfc_error (...);
