           Summary: [F2003] Remove constraint on namelist group objects
           Product: gcc
           Version: 4.6.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P3
         Component: fortran
        AssignedTo: unassigned@gcc.gnu.org
        ReportedBy: w6ws@earthlink.net


Fortran-90/95 had a major constraint on namelist group objects which prevented
the use of non-fixed-length objects.  In F2003, this constraint was removed. 
Compare section 5.4 in F95 with section 5.4 in F2003.

This is not a critical need for me at this point in time.  But I wanted to see
it in the bugzilla for completeness.

Report comes too late - it's fixed since 2011-01-26 :-)

Cf. PR 47339 and PR 43062.

Gosh - my copy of the trunk is all of 1.5 months old - just prior to your mods.

Thank you!

I updated my copy of the trunk, and rebuilt 4.6.  Non-derived type
allocatable/pointer variables seem to be ok.  However allocatable/pointer
derived type components are not supported.  This appears to be because DTIO is
then required and gfortran does not support it yet.

testnml.f90:55.19:

  namelist /mygroup/ iarray, a, da
                   1
Error: NAMELIST object 'da' in namelist 'mygroup' at (1) has ALLOCATABLE or
POINTER components and thus requires a defined input/output procedure
testnml.f90:66.13:

  print *, da
             1
Error: Data transfer element at (1) cannot have POINTER components

Off topic, but note that the error message for the 'print' statement in my
little test program could be more helpful.  It could give a message similar to
the one provided at the namelist statement.
