The backtrace above is bogus. The actual issue is at gfc_conv_procedure_call
for:
cond = fold_build2_loc (input_location, EQ_EXPR,
boolean_type_node, parmse.expr,
fold_convert (TREE_TYPE (parmse.expr),
null_pointer_node));
The problem is that the formal argument uses VALUE. Hence, the actual argument
is passed by value and it not an address expression.
Hence, the test "if (*actual == NULL)" does not make sense - one would need to
use "if (actual == NULL)" - hence, the "*" needs to be stripped away before
the comparison.
Simplified test case:
type t
integer :: p
end type t
interface
subroutine sub (x)
import t
type(t), value :: x
end subroutine
end interface
type(t), pointer :: y
call sub(y)
end
