Bug ID: 80757 Summary: Internal compiler error when omitting upper subscript of a character substring in a module subroutine Product: gcc Version: 6.3.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: fortran Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: GF_bug_report at freemail dot hu Target Milestone: --- Dear GNU Fortran Developers, I found a bug in GNU Fortran. The following code (module + main program) causes internal compiler error. Putting the problematic line from the module subroutine into the main program (as char_array(2:4)(3:)= 'FO') does not cause any compilation or runtime error. Omitting the lower subscript like this: ch_array(2:4)(:2)= 'FO' compiles and runs without error. Omitting both subscripts like this: ch_array(2:4)(:)= 'FO' compiles and runs without error. The error exists with -std=f95, f2003 and f2008 switches as well. I use GNU Fortran 6.3.0 under Debian 9.0. I have an older GNU Fortran also, v4.4.5. which produces the same error. Thank you for your efforts in advance, Aron THE SOURCE CODE THAT CAUSES THE BUG: module modu implicit none contains subroutine sub(ch_array) character(len=*), intent(inout) :: ch_array(:) ! Putting here ----v `4' or `len(ch_array)', the code compiles. ch_array(2:4)(3:)= 'FO' endsubroutine sub endmodule modu program GF_compiler_error use modu implicit none character(len=4) :: char_array(6) integer :: j char_array= 'abcd' ! vector operation write(*,'(i1,a)') (j,'_'//char_array(j)//'_', j=1,SIZE(char_array)) write(*,*) ' ' call sub(char_array) write(*,'(i1,a)') (j,'_'//char_array(j)//'_', j=1,SIZE(char_array)) endprogram GF_compiler_error THE COMMAND LINE THAT TRIGGERS THE BUG: gfortran -v -save-temps -std=f2008 -o out.bug ./character_array_bug.f90 THE COMPILER OUTPUT IS: Driving: gfortran -v -save-temps -std=f2008 -o out.bug ./character_array_bug.f90 -l gfortran -l m -shared-libgcc Using built-in specs.
