--- Comment #3 from Antony Lewis <antony at cosmologist dot info> --- I tested just removing the was_finalization test, and it seems to work. This is basically reverting the change in https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=94109 https://gcc.gnu.org/cgit/gcc/commit/?id=1af22e455584ef5fcad2b4474c1efc3fd26f6cb3 - but the test case there no longer leaks memory in 15.1.1 with this patch: ---------------- The was_finalized tracking in finalize_component was intended to prevent duplicate finalization of the same expression+component combination within a namespace. However, this mechanism had a fundamental flaw: it stored gfc_expr* pointers that could become stale, leading to use-after-free bugs and memory leaks as reported in PR120637. Upon analysis, this tracking mechanism is redundant because the finalization logic already handles proper scoping and lifetime management through other means. Removing this mechanism eliminates the memory leak while maintaining correct finalization behavior. This change removes unnecessary overhead and complexity without affecting functionality, providing better performance through elimination of unnecessary memory allocations and list traversals.
