--- Comment #18 from Mikael Morin <mikael at gcc dot gnu.org> --- (In reply to Mikael Morin from comment #15) > I have asked for an account on the compile farm (see > https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/CompileFarm) to have access to a powerpc machine. It was pretty fast to get the green light, but then the machines have to see the change of configuration to accept my logging in. It's not working yet. (In reply to anlauf from comment #17) > Running under gdb seems to tell that gfc_string_to_single_character returns > a NULL_TREE for yet unknown reason. There is the "obvious" problem that gfc_build_wide_string_const creates a bare array, whereas gfc_string_to_single_character expects a pointer wrapping around it. I was wrong saying above that "A" is a pointer. It is converted to a pointer if passed as argument in C, but the middle-end clearly distinguishes between arrays and pointers, and "A" is an array, not a pointer to an array.
