This one took a bit of detective work. When array pointers point to components of derived types, we currently set the span field and then create an array temporary when we pass the array pointer to a procedure as a non-pointer or non-target argument. (This is inefficient, but that's for another release). Now, the compiler detected this case when there was a direct assignment like p => a%b, but not when p was returned either as a function result or via an argument. This patch fixes that. 2020-04-23 Thomas Koenig <tkoe...@gcc.gnu.org> PR fortran/93956 * expr.c (gfc_check_pointer_assign): Also set subref_array_pointer when a function returns a pointer. * interface.c (gfc_set_subref_array_pointer_arg): New function.
