Bug #: 51802 Summary: Duplicate mangling for OOP symbols Classification: Unclassified Product: gcc Version: 4.7.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: enhancement Priority: P3 Component: fortran AssignedTo: unassig...@gcc.gnu.org ReportedBy: j...@gcc.gnu.org Compiling the last example with type-bound procedures at http://fortranwiki.org/fortran/show/Object-oriented+programming and looking at the symbols generated in the binary, there is some duplication of names, making the symbols longer than they need to be. From the "nm -s" output: 0804869f T __class_circle_MOD___copy_class_circle_Circle 0804a050 B __class_circle_MOD___def_init_class_circle_Circle 0804a028 D __class_circle_MOD___vtab_class_circle_Circle That is, "class_circle", the name of the module, appears twice.
