sorry, I guess that's my fault. I blindly removed the allocate statement when looking for a reduced test case for the compile-time error. > Btw, when using the in gcc-7 available > polymorphic assign, then v6 is actually auto-allocated and the program runs > fine. So what are your opinions on the auto-allocation issue? I suspect that auto-allocation does not apply to defined assignment, but I'm not fully sure. Looking in the F08 standard, it seems to be mentioned in 7.2.1.3, but not in 7.2.1.4. As Thomas mentioned, you could take that question to c.l.f. to get a more qualified answer and/or open a follow-up PR for it. > This patch fixes the wrong error messages in both gcc-7 and gcc-6. > Bootstraped and regtested on x86_64-linux/F23 for gcc-7 and -6. Ok for trunk > and gcc-6? Yes, looks good to me (at least for trunk; gcc-6 if you like). Thanks for the patch, Janus
