As I tried to clarify to Steve, mine was absolutely not a polemic question: although my contributions are definitely not equal to yours, I am also an active FOSS developer doing things for the community spending my free time, I clearly understand the FOSS developing effort. What I meant was "because the bug is known from 2014, can I conclude that there are not any developer who takes care (for time/interest lacking) about this in a reasonable time?". It is just a hint-request about a roadmap (I have to decide how to progress my work, gnu was a key feature), absolutely no critics about you, you are my superheros. My concern was that the bug was very difficult to solve and you are too few to solve it. I am going to create a detailed report (within a github repository) taking into account many combinations: it seems that if I add an allocatable component alongside the static one, the leaks disappear (although this does not happen in a real,omplex code where both static and dynamic components are present). If it is of some help, I would like to share with you. My best regards.
