Bug ID: 65819 Summary: overzealous checking in gfc_check_dependency for identical=true Product: gcc Version: 6.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: fortran Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: tkoenig at gcc dot gnu.org Just ran across this while trying to cook up a test case for matrix inlining. In the patch proposed for PR 37131, I have if (gfc_check_dependency (expr1, matrix_a, true) || gfc_check_dependency (expr1, matrix_b, true)) return 0; In the test case, I want to do f(3,1:eight:2,:) = matmul(f(1,1:3,2:3), f(2,2:3,:)) where clearly the lhs does not depend on the rhs. However, specifying true to gfc_dep_dependency leads to if (identical) return 1; before any checking is done. I'm not sure if there is a real-world test case yet, but there will be one soon, so I'll keep this PR as a reminder.
