There are numerous places in the library where rank 7 arrays are not handled correctly. This affects, for example, in_pack:
$ cat re.f90 program main real, dimension (2,2,2,2,2,2,2):: a a = 1.0 call foo(a(2:1:-1,:,:,:,:,:,:)) end program main subroutine foo(a) real, dimension (2,2,2,2,2,2,2):: a print *,a end subroutine foo $ gfortran re.f90 $ ./a.out Segmentation fault $ gfortran -v Using built-in specs. Target: ia64-unknown-linux-gnu Configured with: ../gcc-4.1-20050501/configure --prefix=/home/zfkts --enable- languages=c,f95 Thread model: posix gcc version 4.1.0 20050501 (experimental) plus a whole lot of other intrinsics. The solution is fairly simple: All intermediate array declarations in the library like index_type rstride[GFC_MAX_DIMENSIONS - 1]; need to be changed to index_type rstride[GFC_MAX_DIMENSIONS]; -- Summary: Rank 7 not handled correctly Product: gcc Version: 4.1.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Keywords: wrong-code Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: libfortran AssignedTo: unassigned at gcc dot gnu dot org ReportedBy: tkoenig at gcc dot gnu dot org CC: gcc-bugs at gcc dot gnu dot org http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=21354
