--- Comment #4 from Tobias Burnus <burnus at gcc dot gnu.org> --- (In reply to Jürgen Reuter from comment #2) > Tobias, after your fix as of today on PR58787, is that original issue also > fixed? No, I only moved things around to avoid crashing after an error occurred. Regarding comment 1, I think gimplfier doesn't like: val.1 = (integer(kind=4)) _gfortran_string_len_trim (1, &(*ifm.0)[S.2 + -1]) + val.1; Namely, it has issues with: (*ifm.0)[S.2 + -1] The failing code is: tree elmt_size = unshare_expr (array_ref_element_size (t)); which has the value NULL_TREE. Here, "t" is the code above with character(kind=1)[1][1:1] * D.3780; character(kind=1)[1][1:] * restrict ifm.0; ifm.0 = (character(kind=1)[1][1:] * restrict) D.3780; If one moves the function into the module, "elmt_size" is the integer constant "1" instead of NULL_TREE. Comparing the type, the failing case (separate subroutine) has string-flag BLK while the working case (module subroutine) has string-flag QI size <integer_cst 0x7ffff6960c60 8> unit-size <integer_cst 0x7ffff6960c78 1>
