Bug ID: 109500 Summary: SIGABRT when calling a function that returns an unallocated value Product: gcc Version: 12.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: fortran Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: leandro.lupori at linaro dot org Target Milestone: --- While doing some tests with functions that return an allocatable result, I found out that the following program receives a SIGABRT: program main print *, is_allocated(f()) contains function f() integer, allocatable :: f end function logical function is_allocated(p) integer, allocatable :: p is_allocated = allocated(p) end function end program This is the output (without the backtrace): free(): invalid pointer Program received signal SIGABRT: Process abort signal. I tested it with gfortran 11.3.0 and 12.0.0 20220117 (experimental) [master r12-6624-gb75aab194e3] (from gcc-snapshot). The program above is a reduced version. I was actually trying to use a function that could return either an allocated result or an unallocated one, depending on the argument, such as: function f(p) integer, allocatable :: f, p if (allocated(p)) then f = p endif end function
