--- Comment #1 from Tobias Burnus <burnus at gcc dot gnu.org> --- I tried compiling the code of comment 0 with different compilers. Result: * Cray ftn simply compiled it. * Portland Group's pgf90 rejected it with the bogus: PGF90-S-0155-Polymorphic variable must be a pointer, allocatable, or dummy object - zz * Intel accepted it but warns: remark #7784: Symbol in BLOCK DATA program unit is not in a COMMON block.[ZZ] (I think it would be useful to have a similar warning as ifort, but that's a different issue.) >From Fortran 2008 (11.3) for BLOCK DATA: C1116 (R1120) A block-data specification-part shall contain only definitions of derived-type definitions and ASYNCHRONOUS, BIND, COMMON, DATA, DIMENSION, EQUIVALENCE, IMPLICIT, INTRINSIC, PARAMETER, POINTER, SAVE, TARGET, USE, VOLATILE, and type declaration statements. C1117 (R1120) A type declaration statement in a block-data specification-part shall not contain ALLOCATABLE, EXTERNAL, or BIND attribute specifiers.
