kargl at gcc dot gnu.org changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|UNCONFIRMED |NEW Last reconfirmed| |2018-02-15 CC| |kargl at gcc dot gnu.org Ever confirmed|0 |1 --- Comment #1 from kargl at gcc dot gnu.org --- Further reduced testcase module mod1 implicit none type :: type1 integer :: i1 end type type1 end module module mod2 implicit none contains subroutine sub1 integer vals common /block1/ vals(5) if (any(vals /= [1, 2, 3, 4, 5])) stop 1 end subroutine end module block data blkdat use mod1 integer vals common /block1/ vals(5) data vals/1, 2, 3, 4, 5/ end block data blkdat program main use mod2, only: sub1 implicit none call sub1 end program Looking at 0x7f911f check_conflict ../../gcc/fortran/symbol.c:485 This is really odd. gdb shows Breakpoint 1, check_conflict (attr=attr@entry=0x203caec38, name=0x203c22430 "_deallocate", where=where@entry=0x203caec78) at ../../gcc/gcc/fortran/symbol.c:485 485 gfc_error("%s attribute not allowed in BLOCK DATA program " (gdb) p *where $1 = {nextc = 0x0, lb = 0x0} So, gfortran is inserting a _deallocate (perhaps for a temporary array). I suspect were can the conflict check for a name starting with an underscore.
