[Bug fortran/34079] New: Bind(C): Don't pass the string length as argument (for STDCALL)

[burnus at gcc dot gnu dot org]

Using STDCALL, not the callee but the called procedure pops the arguments from
the stack. The problem is that gfortran currently also for BIND(C) passes the
string lengths as arguments.

           Summary: Bind(C): Don't pass the string length as argument (for
                    STDCALL)
           Product: gcc
           Version: 4.3.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: fortran
        AssignedTo: unassigned at gcc dot gnu dot org

[Bug fortran/34079] Bind(C): Don't pass the string length as argument (for STDCALL)

[burnus at gcc dot gnu dot org]

------- Comment #1 from burnus at gcc dot gnu dot org  2007-11-13 14:39 -------
Example:

interface
  subroutine subiso(x) bind(c)
    use iso_c_binding
    character(kind=c_char,len=1), dimension(*) :: x
  end subroutine subiso
  subroutine subiso2(x) bind(c) ! { dg-warning "may not be C interoperable" }
    character(len=1), dimension(*) :: x
  end subroutine subiso2
  subroutine sub(x)
    use iso_c_binding
    character(kind=c_char,len=1), dimension(*) :: x
  end subroutine sub
end interface
call sub    ("abcdef")
call subiso ("ABCDEF")
call subiso2("AbCdEf")
end

Dumped tree should look like:
  sub (&"abcdef"[1]{lb: 1 sz: 1}, 6);
  subiso (&"ABCDEF"[1]{lb: 1 sz: 1});
  subiso2 (&"ABCDEF"[1]{lb: 1 sz: 1});

Note: The patch above works, one only needs to check whether there is a memory
leak or something else which affects the generated tree.

[Bug fortran/34079] Bind(C): Character argument/return value problems

[burnus at gcc dot gnu dot org]

------- Comment #5 from burnus at gcc dot gnu dot org  2007-11-17 08:08 -------
Additional problems, spotted by FX:

subroutine foo(x) bind(c)
   character(len=1) :: x

function bar(x) bind(c)
   character(len=1) :: x, bar

These generates:
  foo (x, _x)
  bar (__result, .__result, x, _x)

Instead of
   void foo(char *x)
and
  char bar(char *x)

[Bug fortran/34079] Bind(C): Character argument/return value problems

[burnus at gcc dot gnu dot org]

------- Comment #6 from burnus at gcc dot gnu dot org  2007-11-17 13:49 -------
More fun with ENTRY:

a) gfortran does not match the BIND(C) suffix for ENTRY,
   "R1235 entry-stmt is ENTRY entry-name [ ( [ dummy-arg-list ] ) [ suffix ] ]"
   cf. decl.c: gfc_match_function_decl and gfc_match_entry

b) As entry and procedure do not need to be both bind(c), the master function
should always be called with the string length.
