--- Comment #4 from Tobias Burnus <burnus at gcc dot gnu.org> --- I additionally observe the following: <component_ref 0x7ffff71c2150 type <pointer_type 0x7ffff71bb2a0 type <array_type 0x7ffff71bb1f8 type <integer_type 0x7ffff6fe1348 character(kind=1)> string-flag BLK size <integer_cst 0x7ffff6fc9c78 constant 0> That makes it difficult to check the length later on during ME processing. In my case, for lang hooks in trans-openmp.c for mapping omp target map(var) where var is allocatable and var%string is a deferred-length allocatable. EXPECTED: * the field's GFC_DECL_STRING_LEN points for 'var%string' to the _string_length component. * TODO: Check whether the debug info is correctly set for those.
