[PATCH] Fortran: do not pass hidden character length for TYPE(*) dummy [PR110825]

[PATCH] Fortran: do not pass hidden character length for TYPE(*) dummy [PR110825]

[Harald Anlauf]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 489 bytes --]

Dear all,

when passing a character actual argument to an assumed-type dummy
(TYPE(*)), we should not pass the character length for that argument,
as otherwise other hidden arguments that are passed as part of the
gfortran ABI will not be interpreted correctly.  This is in line
with the current way the procedure decl is generated.

The attached patch fixes the caller and clarifies the behavior
in the documentation.

Regtested on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu.  OK for mainline?

Thanks,
Harald

Subject: [PATCH] Fortran: do not pass hidden character length for TYPE(*)
 dummy [PR110825]

gcc/fortran/ChangeLog:

	PR fortran/110825
	* gfortran.texi: Clarify argument passing convention.
	* trans-expr.cc (gfc_conv_procedure_call): Do not pass the character
	length as hidden argument when the declared dummy argument is
	assumed-type.

gcc/testsuite/ChangeLog:

	PR fortran/110825
	* gfortran.dg/assumed_type_18.f90: New test.

OK.  Patch looks small enough that if you are so inclined
to backport that's ok as well.  Thanks for the quick response.
