Bug ID: 109348 Summary: Pointer initialization fails for target with references Product: gcc Version: 13.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: fortran Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: pault at gcc dot gnu.org Target Milestone: --- As posted by Peter Klausler on clf complex, save, target :: a(4) = [(1.,0.),(2.,0.),(3.,0.),(4.,0)] real, pointer :: p(:) => a(1:3:2)%re print *, p end gfc doesn't even attempt to initialise the pointer. Malcolm Cohen and Steve Lionel both agree that this is valid F2018. complex, save, target :: a(4) = [(1.,0.),(2.,0.),(3.,0.),(4.,0)] real, pointer :: p(:) p(1:) => a(1:3:2)%re print *, p end Works, as long as an lbound is provided on the lhs. nagfor behaves similarly, whereas ifort does not even accept this version.
