    Fortran: Set the length of an allocatable character
    
            PR fortran/113883
    
    gcc/fortran/ChangeLog:
    
            * trans-array.cc (gfc_trans_deferred_array): Set length to zero,
            avoiding extraneous diagnostics.
    
    gcc/testsuite/ChangeLog:
    
            * gfortran.dg/allocatable_length.f90: New test.
