Hi, the following code snippet does not compile:
program gfcbug20 implicit none type :: a_t character, pointer :: line ! character (len=1), pointer :: line end type a_t type (a_t) :: a = a_t ( NULL() ) character, target :: b ! character (len=1), target :: b a% line => b end program gfcbug20 I get: gfcbug20.f90: In function 'MAIN__': gfcbug20.f90:14: internal compiler error: in gfc_conv_string_parameter, at fortr an/trans-expr.c:1982 Replacing the character variable in the derived type (as well as the target) by an integer "solves" the problem.
