Ok, so: How about the attached patch as a simple & backportable fix for the regression? (Ok for trunk/4.8/4.7?)
I think that part is okay - but as you mentioned TYPE(*) in your last email: That doesn't work; I think compare_type_rank should be made asymmetrical in this regard (ditto for "!gcc$ attributes no_arg_check"). Thus, could you fix that part as well?
I suggest the rest (i.e. splitting up compare_type_rank, improving error messages, etc) should be done in a follow-up patch on trunk only. (I might even volunteer do to this once I find the time ...)
I am fine with that suggestion. Regarding the your other email in this thread: I was indeed talking about that part of the proc-pointer-assignment check.
