--- Comment #9 from Tobias Burnus <burnus at gcc dot gnu.org> 2011-10-18 07:23:10 UTC --- >From the standard: "C568 (R536) A data-i-do-object or a variable that appears as a data-stmt-object shall not be an object designator in which a pointer appears other than as the entire rightmost part-ref." "C567 (R536) A variable whose designator appears as a data-stmt-object or a data-i-do-object shall not be a dummy argument, accessed by use or host association, in a named common block unless the DATA statement is in a block data program unit, in blank common, a function name, a function result name, an automatic object, or an allocatable variable." To be fixed beyond the patch of attachment 25534 * ICE below (1) for init of DT with default init * ICE below (2) with structure constructor, which initializes a pointer (plus: test cases, revised error message wording) * (3) Pointer init in DATA: Also "initial-data-target" is allowed For the pointer init, see also PR 45290. ! =============== (1) ======================= module m type t integer :: a = 7 end type t type t2 integer :: b end type t2 end module m use m implicit type(t)(x), type(t2)(y) ! ICE in trans: ! Invalid as "nonpointer object has default initialization" DATA x%a/8/ ! OK: !DATA y%b/5/ !type(t2) :: y = t2(7) ! { dg-error "initializer already appears in a DATA statement" } end ! ============= (2) ========================= module m type t integer :: a integer, pointer :: bar end type t end module m subroutine test() use m type(t) :: x ! = t(4, null()) ! OK DATA x/t(4, null())/ ! ICE in the middle end end subroutine test ! ============= (3) ========================= type t integer, pointer :: ptr end type t integer, target, save :: tgt ! Version A: !type(t) :: x = t(tgt) ! Rejected with "has not been declared or is a variable, ! which does not reduce to a constant expression" ! Version 2 type(t) :: x DATA x%ptr /tgt/ ! error "must be a PARAMETER in DATA statement" tgt = 7 print *, ptr end
