Tobias Burnus <burnus at gcc dot gnu.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |burnus at gcc dot gnu.org --- Comment #1 from Tobias Burnus <burnus at gcc dot gnu.org> 2013-03-02 00:06:45 UTC --- The problem seems to be that "class_ok" is not true; the reason seems to be that gfc_build_class_symbol does not get called. I am not sure, when it has to be called but it currently fails for: implicit class(*) (a-z) allocatable :: foo end and for subroutine foo(x) implicit class(*) (a-z) end The error message is printed in resolve.c's resolve_fl_var_and_proc: /* Constraints on polymorphic variables. */ ... if (!sym->attr.class_ok && !sym->attr.use_assoc && !sym->assoc) { gfc_error ("CLASS variable '%s' at %L must be dummy, allocatable " "or pointer", sym->name, &sym->declared_at); gfc_build_class_symbol is currently only called in decl.c via "build_struct" and via attr_decl1. One probably has to call it in symbol.c's gfc_set_default_type
