Bug #: 51790 Summary: Broken ambiguity check when combining generic with nongeneric procedures Classification: Unclassified Product: gcc Version: 4.7.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Keywords: accepts-invalid, diagnostic Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: fortran AssignedTo: unassig...@gcc.gnu.org ReportedBy: bur...@gcc.gnu.org Blocks: 51578 Another bug which blocks my progress with PR 51578. If one compiles gfortran.dg/generic_11.f90 one gets the error: call foo ! { dg-error "is an ambiguous reference" } 1 Error: Name 'foo' at (1) is an ambiguous reference to 'foo' from module 'm_foo' However, if one swaps the order of use m_foo use m_bar no error is printed. The reason is that in symbol's gfc_find_sym_tree one has the check: if (st->ambiguous && !st->n.sym->attr.generic) { ambiguous_symbol (name, st); However, one of the "foo" is generic and the other isn't. Thus, depending which one is first in the symtree, an error is printed or not.
