[Bug fortran/31294] New: Endless loop when compiling a cyclic code

[burnus at gcc dot gnu dot org]

I'm not completely sure that the following code is invalid, but I think it is.
Taken from:
http://home.comcast.net/%7Ekmbtib/Fortran_stuff/cyclic_specs1.f90

g95 prints:
  Error: Circular specification in variable 'ouch' at (1)

NAG f95 compiles it without any warning/error, however. Running it (using all
checks) shows either an empty line or
CHARACTER actual arg LEN=4 shorter than dummy arg LEN=1963731936
which indicates that it is indeed invalid.

Here is the source:

module cyclic
   implicit none
   contains
      function ouch(x,y)
         implicit character(len(ouch)) (x)
         implicit character(len(x)+1) (y)
         implicit character(len(y)-1) (o)
         intent(in) x,y
         character(len(y)-1) ouch
         integer i

         do i = 1, len(ouch)
            ouch(i:i) = achar(ieor(iachar(x(i:i)),iachar(y(i:i))))
         end do
      end function ouch
end module cyclic

program test
   use cyclic
   implicit none

   write(*,*) ouch('YOW!','     ')
end program test
