Bug ID: 64854 Summary: No bound check for explicit-shape arrays Product: gcc Version: 4.9.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: fortran Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: bugs at stellardeath dot org I assumed that the following would be catched by -fcheck=bounds, array "a" is passed as an explicit-shape array to subroutine "testsub" with the invalid bounds "n1", "n2": program test use m1 implicit none integer :: n1, n2 real :: a(1:10) ! Setup invalid indices: n1 = 1024*1024 n2 = 1024*1024*2 call testsub(a, n1, n2) contains subroutine testsub(a, n1, n2) integer :: n1, n2 real :: a(n1:n2) integer :: i do i = n1, n2 a(i) = 0 end do end subroutine end program But this happily produces a segfault.
