Re: [Patch, fortran] PR66079 - [6 Regression] memory leak with source allocation in internal subprogram

[Andre Vehreschild <vehre@gmx.de>]

Hi Paul,

does this patch apply to current trunk cleanly? I get an issue with the last
hunk, because all of the prerequisites are gone since r223445. The string copy
is completely handled by the trans_assignment at the bottom of the if
(code->expr3) block. Therefore I doubt the patches last hunk is needed any
longer.

Do you have an example why this hunk is needed?

!         else
            {
              /* In all other cases evaluate the expr3 and create a
                 temporary.  */

                }
              /* else expr3 = NULL_TREE set above.  */
            }
!         else if (!(code->expr3->ts.type == BT_DERIVED
!                    && code->expr3->ts.u.derived->attr.alloc_comp))
            {
              /* In all other cases evaluate the expr3 and create a
                 temporary.  */

When I get the code right, than all derived-typed source= expressions that have
an allocatable component will not be prepared for copy to the allocated object.
This also means, that functions returning an object of such a type are called
multiple times. Once for each object to allocate. Is this really desired?

I am sorry, that I have to say that, but the check2305.diff file does not bring
the testcase with it.

Regards,
	Andre
