--- Comment #3 from janus at gcc dot gnu.org 2011-03-28 20:55:13 UTC --- Also the following variant is not rejected (seems to be a module problem): module m implicit none type :: rectangle real :: width, height procedure(get_area), pointer, pass(this) :: get_special_area end type rectangle abstract interface real function get_area( this ) import :: rectangle class(rectangle), intent(in) :: this end function get_area end interface type(rectangle) :: rect contains real function get_my_area( this ) type(rectangle), intent(in) :: this write(*,*) 'This: ', this%width, this%height get_my_area = 3.0 * this%width * this%height end function get_my_area end module use m rect%get_special_area => get_my_area end
