--- Comment #10 from Tobias Burnus <burnus at gcc dot gnu.org> 2011-01-31 22:18:41 UTC --- (In reply to comment #7) > The test in comment #6 segfault also. That's a test-case problem. this%x = find_x(this) is invalid if the LHS is not associated - and a RHS null() is also problematic. Use: this%x => find_x(this) instead (for all assignments in the file). > The ICEs disappear with the patch in comment #6, but the test in comment #4 > fails at > if(any (this%x%i /= [5, 7])) call abort() ! FAILS I think you mean comment 5. In comment 4, the line: this%y = this%find_y() fails; the LHS is a nonpointer, nonallocatable DT. The RHS returns an (allocated) allocatable; the type is type(tx) w/ allocatable but unallocated components. I think the test case is valid Regarding comment 5: As written there, a deep copy is missing
