From: "rhidalgochar at bloomberg dot net" <gcc-bugzilla@gcc.gnu.org> To: gcc-bugs@gcc.gnu.org Subject: [Bug fortran/109275] New: Bad error messages for interfaces describing surrounding program unit Date: Fri, 24 Mar 2023 12:24:43 +0000 [thread overview] Message-ID: <bug-109275-4@http.gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/> (raw) https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=109275 Bug ID: 109275 Summary: Bad error messages for interfaces describing surrounding program unit Product: gcc Version: 12.1.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: fortran Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: rhidalgochar at bloomberg dot net Target Milestone: --- The following example, where an interface is defined for the surrounding program unit fails to compile: function foo(arg1) result(res) interface foo function foo(arg1) integer*2 foo(3) integer*8 arg1 end function foo end interface integer*2 res(3) integer*8 arg1 res = (/1,2,int(arg1,4)/) end function Giving the error: recursive-interface.f:4:8: 4 | function foo(arg1) | 1 Error: Procedure pointer result ‘foo’ at (1) is missing the pointer attribute Given you can use this function with that interface, this appears to be an incorrect warning. It gives even stranger warnings if you follow its advice and add the pointer attribute to foo in the interface (i.e. integer*2, pointer :: foo(3)): recursive-interface.f:4:8: 4 | function foo(arg1) | 1 Error: Array pointer ‘ppr@’ at (1) must have a deferred shape or assumed rank recursive-interface.f:1:6: 1 | function foo(arg1) result(res) | 1 Error: Array pointer ‘foo’ at (1) must have a deferred shape or assumed rank It appears that "ppr@" is some internal return variable that should not be getting exposed. Following this advice further and making foo assumed shape (foo(:)) it goes back to complaining about it not having the pointer attribute even though it does. While I don't see any reason why a correctly defined interface would not be allowed, especially if it's not even used and result is used to disambiguate the symbol, other compilers do fail to compile and complain about using an interface with the same name as the surrounding program unit. XLF complained for normal interfaces, while Sun Studio just complains for generic interface. GFortrans error message should at least be more informative, explicitly saying it's not allowed if this is the case. I came across this issue because a library had an include with many interfaces, and was then trying to use some of those interfaces in the definitions of those program units.
