Fortran: Skip bound conv in gfc_conv_gfc_desc_to_cfi_desc with intent(out) ptr [PR108621] When the dummy argument of the bind(C) proc is 'pointer, intent(out)', the conversion of the GFC to the CFI bounds can be skipped: it is not needed and avoids issues with noninit memory. Note that the 'cfi->base_addr = gfc->addr' assignment is kept as the C code of a user might assume that a nullified pointer arrives as NULL (or even a specific value). For instance, gfortran.dg/c-interop/section-{1,2}.f90 assumes the value NULL. Note 2: The PR is about a may-be-uninitialized warning with intent(out). In the PR's testcase, the pointer was nullified and should not have produced that warning. That is a diagnostic issue, now tracked as PR middle-end/108906 as the issue in principle still exists (e.g. with 'intent(inout)'). [But no longer for intent(out).] Note 3: With undefined pointers and no 'intent', accessing uninit memory is unavoidable on the caller side as the compiler cannot know what the C function does (but this usage determines whether the pointer is permitted be undefined or whether the bounds must be gfc-to-cfi converted). gcc/fortran/ChangeLog: PR fortran/108621 * trans-expr.cc (gfc_conv_gfc_desc_to_cfi_desc): gcc/testsuite/ChangeLog: PR fortran/108621 * gfortran.dg/c-interop/fc-descriptor-pr108621.f90: New test. gcc/fortran/trans-expr.cc | 6 ++ .../c-interop/fc-descriptor-pr108621.f90 | 65 ++++++++++++++++++++++ 2 files changed, 71 insertions(+) diff --git a/gcc/fortran/trans-expr.cc b/gcc/fortran/trans-expr.cc index e85b53fae85..045c8b00b90 100644 --- a/gcc/fortran/trans-expr.cc +++ b/gcc/fortran/trans-expr.cc @@ -5673,6 +5673,9 @@ gfc_conv_gfc_desc_to_cfi_desc (gfc_se *parmse, gfc_expr *e, gfc_symbol *fsym) gfc_add_modify (&block, tmp, build_int_cst (TREE_TYPE (tmp), attr)); + /* The cfi-base_addr assignment could be skipped for 'pointer, intent(out)'. + That is very sensible for undefined pointers, but the C code might assume + that the pointer retains the value, in particular, if it was NULL. */ if (e->rank == 0) { tmp = gfc_get_cfi_desc_base_addr (cfi); @@ -5695,6 +5698,9 @@ gfc_conv_gfc_desc_to_cfi_desc (gfc_se *parmse, gfc_expr *e, gfc_symbol *fsym) gfc_add_modify (&block, tmp2, fold_convert (TREE_TYPE (tmp2), tmp)); } + if (fsym->attr.pointer && fsym->attr.intent == INTENT_OUT) + goto done; + /* When allocatable + intent out, free the cfi descriptor. */ if (fsym->attr.allocatable && fsym->attr.intent == INTENT_OUT) { diff --git a/gcc/testsuite/gfortran.dg/c-interop/fc-descriptor-pr108621.f90 b/gcc/testsuite/gfortran.dg/c-interop/fc-descriptor-pr108621.f90 new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..9c9062bd62d --- /dev/null +++ b/gcc/testsuite/gfortran.dg/c-interop/fc-descriptor-pr108621.f90 @@ -0,0 +1,65 @@ +! { dg-do compile } +! { dg-additional-options "-fdump-tree-original" } +! +!
