--- Comment #9 from vehre at gcc dot gnu.org --- Created attachment 37579 --> https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=37579&action=edit Clear explicit function result variables for deferred length char arrays Well, using the explicit result declaration of comment #3 the code is far less optimized. Furthermore are the .__result and __result parameters in the code of comment #3 not cleared in tree-original. When I add this clearing by modifying trans-decl.c (gfc_trans_deferred_vars (), see attached patch1.txt), i.e., __.003t.original: test (character(kind=1)[1:*.__result] * & __result, integer(kind=4) * .__result, integer(kind=4) & restrict alen) { integer(kind=4) i; *.__result = 0; *__result = 0B; ... then I get the same result, like in the original program. The question is, does this information help us in any way?
