--- Comment #9 from Dominique d'Humieres <dominiq at lps dot ens.fr> --- > This patch caused lots of regressions in the testsuite, see e.g. > http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-regression/2018-10/msg00062.html See pr87577. This patch will likely break some more codes, e.g., pr87575. > NOTE 9.11 > Examples of array elements and array sections are: > ARRAY_A(1:N:2)%ARRAY_B(I, J)%STRING(K)(:) array section Also NOTE 9.9 For example, with the declarations: REAL A (10, 10) CHARACTER (LEN = 10) B (5, 5, 5) A (1, 2) is an array element, A (1:N:2, M) is a rank-one array section, and B (:, :, :) (2:3) is an array of shape (5, 5, 5) whose elements are substrings of length 2 of the corresponding elements of B. and similar notes in the 2003 standard. These notes clearly contradict the proposed interpretation of R909 parent-string is scalar-variable-name or array-element or coindexed-named-object or scalar-structure-component or scalar-constant IMO r264990 should be reverted until the contradiction is resolved.
