Bug #: 52909 Summary: Procedure pointers not private to modules Classification: Unclassified Product: gcc Version: 4.8.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: fortran AssignedTo: unassig...@gcc.gnu.org ReportedBy: aben...@caltech.edu The following code won't compile with the latest gfortran (or with 4.6 and 4.7). The two procedure pointers should be private to their respective modules so there should be no symbol conflict. module Module1 implicit none private procedure(), pointer :: procPtr => null() end module Module1 module Module2 implicit none private procedure(), pointer :: procPtr => null() end module Module2 program Test use Module1 use Module2 implicit none end program Test $ gfortran -v Using built-in specs.
