First, apologies to Paul. I was hoping to review the patch this weekend. As I approved Mikael's recent patches involving array descriptors that broken codes using polymoriphism. I was trying to understand that problem. I think NAG is correct to complain. It took me a bit of standard sleuthing to find the constraint. 8.5.1 Attribute specification ... C815 An entity shall not be explicitly given any attribute more than once in a scoping unit. Thus, generic, public :: foo => bar generic, public :: foo => bah should raise an error. The correct construct is either generic, public :: foo => bar generic :: foo => bah or generic :: foo => bar generic, public :: foo => bah -- Steve
