Full example of failing test

In support of exposing a Fortran library via a C API, I am trying to implem=
ent
C_F_STRPOINTER from the upcoming F202X standard in F2008:

  https://j3-fortran.org/doc/year/19/19-197r3.txt

A sample implementation was provided in an earlier paper, as well as on the
Intel forums:

  https://j3-fortran.org/doc/year/18/18-258r2.txt=20
=20
https://community.intel.com/t5/Intel-Fortran-Compiler/New-Interoperability-=
Fortran-to-C-String-case/m-p/1144681/highlight/true#M138173

Example usage is provided in this paper:

  https://j3-fortran.org/doc/year/21/21-107.txt

Attachment #1 is a full example that implements and exercises c_f_strpointer
per the above references. This works in ifort and nvfortran, but segfaults =
in
all versions of gfortran I tested (4.8 =3D> 11). Tests were done under Ubun=
tu and
RH7. The problematic line is Line 37, when trying to associate the
deferred-length output pointer with the defined-length pointer returned by
c_f_pointer:

  call C_F_POINTER(CSTRPTR, p)
  FSTRPTR =3D> p

Attachment #2 in a minimal example that just focuses on the C_F_POINTER/poi=
nter
associate operations. I find the error only happens when the pointer
to-be-associated is in a separate module with deferred length.

Fall back is to simply copy the contents of the character array pointer int=
o a
character string, but I was hoping to get this approach working, which is
zero-copy/zero-allocation.

Thanks!=
