--- Comment #1 from palott at gmail dot com 2012-03-03 16:35:14 UTC --- Created attachment 26817 --> http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=26817 simple example defining a function pointer interface and calling function Defining func interface and type in the module leads to gfortran error in latest release. This example compiles fine in earlier releases. Inserting these definitions within the program test_proc_ptr, works okay in both releases. pointer :: func interface function func (z) real :: func real, intent (in) :: z end function func end interface type Contains_f_ptr procedure (func), pointer, nopass :: my_f_ptr end type Contains_f_ptr
