As done for actual and formal arguments in functions/subroutines (e.g. PR34901), the error messages for pointer assignments could be improved:
E,g, neighbours_neighbours => dummy_atom_kdtree_region_search(this%beads, at 1 Error: Different types in pointer assignment at (1) is correct but not extraordinarily helpful. Better: "Error: Different types in pointer assignment at (1); attempted to assign TYPE(...) to TYPE(...)." Reminder to self: see expr.c (gfc_check_pointer_assign). -- Summary: add type/kind information to pointer assignments Product: gcc Version: 4.3.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: fortran AssignedTo: unassigned at gcc dot gnu dot org ReportedBy: dfranke at gcc dot gnu dot org http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=35030
