Bug #: 51610 Summary: [OOP] Class container does not properly handle POINTER and TARGET Classification: Unclassified Product: gcc Version: 4.7.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Keywords: accepts-invalid, rejects-valid Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: fortran AssignedTo: unassig...@gcc.gnu.org ReportedBy: bur...@gcc.gnu.org CC: ja...@gcc.gnu.org, pa...@gcc.gnu.org Blocks: 51605 The following program compiles - but it is invalid. 1. The TARGET attribute is required for "b" and "c" But if one tries to set it, one gets an error. Expected: One can mark them as TARGET and without one gets an error for the CALL. 2. The "ptr => x" is invalid as "x" is not TARGET but no error is printed. 3. If one swaps the "x" and the "z" lines, one gets the error: ptr => x 1 Error: Non-POINTER in pointer association context (pointer assignment) But one get also an error for the "ptr => y" and "ptr => z" lines.

Bogus error: Error: Duplicate TARGET attribute specified ! target :: a, b, c allocate (a(1), b(1), c(1)) !
