The Fortran FE creates non-1:1 type compatible complex-expr / realpart-expr in this case and thus like other FEs it can't expect fold to end up with 1:1 type compatible results.
Testing on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu in progress. Ok for trunk? Thanks, Richard. 2017-03-06 Richard Biener <rguent...@suse.de> PR fortran/79894 * trans.c (gfc_add_modify_loc): Weaken assert.
