Summary: Array constructor with type-spec: Fails with more complicated length type expr Product: gcc Version: 4.6.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Keywords: rejects-valid Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: fortran AssignedTo: unassig...@gcc.gnu.org ReportedBy: bur...@gcc.gnu.org http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.fortran/browse_thread/thread/397b3520a4dd1a9f# James Van Buskirk found an example for an Array constructor with type-spec, which fails at gimpling. Full example: See c.l.f. Short example: subroutine sub1(L,s,e) implicit none character(*) L integer s,e if(any(L(s:e+1) == [character(len(L(s:e))+1)::'that','those'])) then end if end subroutine sub1 Gives: test.f90:5:0: error: size of variable 'A.1' is too large Looking at the dump, one sees that the character length is strangely optimized away into two uninitialized variables. The dump has: sub1 (character(kind=1)[1:_l] & restrict l, integer(kind=4) & restrict s, integer(kind=4) & restrict e, integer(kind=4) _l) { bit_size_type D.1546; <unnamed-unsigned:64> D.1547; D.1546 = (bit_size_type) ((<unnamed-unsigned:64>) _l * 8); D.1547 = (<unnamed-unsigned:64>) (_l + -1) + 1; { static character(kind=1) A.1[2][1:MAX_EXPR <(D.1541 - D.1540) + 1, 0> + 1] = {"that", "those"}; and only much later: D.1540 = *s; D.1541 = *e;
