The matching happens in gfc_match_array_constructor() when you get to lines 1311ff for (;;) { m = match_array_cons_element (&head); if (m == MATCH_ERROR) goto cleanup; if (m == MATCH_NO) goto syntax; if (gfc_match_char (',') == MATCH_NO) break; } If you deep dive into match_array_cons_element(), you see m = match_array_list (result); if (m != MATCH_NO) return m; m = gfc_match_expr (&expr); if (m != MATCH_YES) return m; There's your expression mapping. The problem is that for [integer :: ([1.0])] ** 2, simplification of the expression ([1.0]) returns ([1.0]) and expr_type of EXPR_OP. So, when we walk the array constructor in lines 1368ff if (gfc_numeric_ts (&ts)) { m = walk_array_constructor (&ts, head); if (m == MATCH_ERROR) return m; } the walker cannot apply a type conversion. My take is that simplification of ([1.0]) needs to reduce this to [1.0], which then allows the code to compile. I had a patch that did this, but it failed with (([1.0])). I modified the patch to accept (([1.0])), and it of course failed with ((([1.0]))).
