neil.n.carlson at gmail dot com changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |neil.n.carlson at gmail dot com --- Comment #19 from neil.n.carlson at gmail dot com --- What is the status of this issue? It would appear from comment 18 to be "fixed" insofar as the the provided examples compile, but is the compiled code correct? I'd report the following example as a new bug, but I know it would be immediately dismissed as a duplicate of this bug. This dumb little example compiles with 5.2 and the 20151025 snapshot of 6.0, but in both cases the generated code is bad as it segfaults on a clearly valid assignment statement. program main character(:), allocatable :: string(:) call fubar (string) contains subroutine fubar (string) character(:), allocatable, intent(out) :: string(:) allocate(character(5) :: string(2)) print *, 'len(string)=', len(string), ', size(string)=', size(string) string = 'fubar' ! <== SEGMENTATION FAULT HERE end subroutine end program Produces this output: len(string)= 5 , size(string)= 2 Program received signal SIGSEGV: Segmentation fault - invalid memory reference.
