Re: [patch, fortran] Warn about suspicious assignment to contiguous pointers

Hi Janus, and in that case I would argue that, beyond being "not useful", it's even illegal, so why not throw a hard error, if we can infer at compile-time that the target is non-contiguous? Problem is, we cannot infer this from the tests done. We would also have to add a test if the array is

Re: [patch, fortran] Warn about suspicious assignment to contiguous pointers

Hi Janus, I think an unconditional warning is OK in this case because - Assigning to a pointer from an obvious non-contiguous target is not useful at all, that I can see I guess you're talking about a *contiguous* pointer here, Correct. and in that case I would argue that, beyond

[patch, fortran] Warn about suspicious assignment to contiguous pointers

Hello world, the attached patch warns about the dubious pointer assignments (see test case for details). I think an unconditional warning is OK in this case because - Assigning to a pointer from an obvious non-contiguous target is not useful at all, that I can see - Some language laywer
